Ceres2030– a joint initiative by IISD, the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and Cornell University –provides the donor community with a menu of policy options for directing their investments, backed by the best available evidence and economic models.

With the global economy reeling from COVID-related measures, the world faces the risk of a dramatic rise in hunger and malnutrition. On April 16, 2020, the ministers from African Union member states recognized that efforts to contain the spread of the virus need to be accompanied by measures to minimize disruptions to food and agriculture systems and to support the livelihoods for all African citizens during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Ceres2030 project invites you to a virtual dialogue with African ministers on how their governments are responding to try to avert a COVID-19 hunger and malnutrition crisis.
