Background

This training manual focuses on developing the skills necessary to articulate aspirations and goals related to individual and community assets that could be built through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act(MGNREGA) program

This year marks 20 years of implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), which was launched with the Maputo Declaration in 2003.

A shift from agriculture to manufacturing was one of the hallmarks of job creation, poverty reduction, and rapid growth in low-income countries during the latter half of the 20th century.

In this chapter, we build upon the gender and food systems framework developed by Njuki and colleagues (2022) to assess the associations between measures of women’s empowerment and specific food systems outcomes.

The miracle of increasing agricultural productivity has nourished people and lifted people out of poverty to a degree that would have been unimaginable to our ancestors.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze Africa’s performance in the last three BRs, examine the degree to which Africa is on track, and assess the efforts still needed to meet the Malabo goals and targets by 2025.

In this chapter, we examine this nexus, focusing on the food security function of food systems, and build the evidence base for policymakers to mainstream climate risk and adaptation solutions in food system transformation efforts.

Today, many innovative food system transformation programs are taking place in several parts of the world, including developing, and low-income countries as well as those in Africa south of the Sahara (Benfica et al. 2023).

African food systems began to transform during the last decade in response to higher agricultural productivity growth, rising per capita incomes, a growing middle class, and rapid urbanization.

In this chapter, we intend to ascertain the current direction of the African bioeconomy pursuit and identify the opportunities for advancing regional adoption and practice to augment the sustainability of the food system.

The 2023 ATOR aims to inform the design of the post-Malabo phase of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP).
