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).

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

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting national economies through several channels including global primary commodity trade and market disruptions.

As an outgrowth of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods (AUC 2014) established both a clear

The world is experiencing an unprecedented health crisis during the spread of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2).

The COVID-19 pandemic has quickly spread across the world over the last two years, causing a significant number of deaths—more than 4.55 million as of October 2021—and hospitalizations as well as economic disruption.

The 2021 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) includes three major sections in addition to the chapter tracking progress toward Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) goals.

Resilience measurement can now be viewed as an established body of research with 15 years of empirical evidence.

There is a global consensus that the current food system, involving the production, processing, transport, and consumption of food, is failing—threatening our food security, nutritional security and health, social justice, and natural resources—an

Examing emerging data on impact of COVID-19 on African economies and food systems, reviewing the responses to the pandemic, and advances the discussion on methodologies to measure the impacts of and resilience to shocks.

Over the last decade, social safety nets (SSNs) have rapidly expanded on the African continent, becoming a core strategy for addressing poverty and vulnerability, responding to shocks, increasing productivity, and investing in human capital.

The 2017-2018 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) takes an in-depth look at social protection in rural Africa to address these three questions, which are particularly relevant as Africa embarks on the implementation of the Malabo Declaration c

Chapter 10 uses Egypt as a case study to examine the effectiveness of proxy means test (PMT) targeting.

The chapter is centered on assessing the impact of WFP’s food assistance on the food security and nutrition outcomes of rural households in the Mopti region of Mali.

Building on the existing literature, this chapter synthesizes the key findings of the From Protection to Production (PtoP) project of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), which studies the impact of SCT (social cash t

The 2017–2018 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) takes an in-depth look at social protection in rural Africa. First, it summarizes the available evidence on successful implementation of social protection programs in rural Africa.

This chapter analyzes how the interplay of agriculture and social protection programs and policies and their coordinated implementation can create positive synergies that accelerate progress in reducing rural poverty, eliminating hunger, and build

Chapter 13 provides an overarching account of findings on social protection as development policy and draws out lessons for policy makers when adopting a systems approach to social protection.

Africa's future demand for social protection will be determined by persistent high rates of poverty; and moving toward democratic political systems, faster economic growth, & a vocal urban segment of the poor.
