Challenge:
Africa’s food systems face increasing pressure from climate change, under investment, and fragmented value chains, all of which threaten food security, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods.
Solution:
The African Green Food Systems Investment Catalyst supports governments in developing investment-ready materials such as food system strategies, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and costed value chain plans. The initiative helps mobilize investment through global showcases and SME financing, and offers implementation support via capacity building, analytics, and value chain development.
Impact:
By aligning climate, nutrition, and economic outcomes, the Catalyst is helping build food systems that are more regenerative, productive, and inclusive. It is enabling governments to attract capital, drive job creation, and deliver better outcomes for communities and the environment.
