IFPRI is participating in the African Green Revolution Forum 2021 (AGRF).

The AGRF 2021 Summit is a defining moment in highlighting and unlocking the political, policy, and financial commitments and innovations the continent has made and that it continues to work towards achieving. It is about advancing the commitments made at the Malabo Heads of State Summit and working hard to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

This year’s AGRF Summit will explore the pathways and actions needed to accelerate this process and steer the continent towards food systems that deliver sufficient and nutritious food; do not impact the environment negatively; and create sustainable, dignified jobs, and shared prosperity for Africa.
