Invitation to the Global Panel webinar: 'Building Resilience and Enhancing Nutrition in Africa's food systems'

Tuesday 21st January at 1:00 p.m. GMT

 

Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

 

The Global Panel on Agriculture and Food Systems for Nutrition is pleased to be sharing its new report Building Resilience and Enhancing Nutrition in Africa’s food systems, at a webinar launch next week. 

 

The Global Panel, in collaboration with the Governments of Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Ethiopia, has undertaken a one-year study on the resilience of food systems. This report, funded by Irish Aid, explores the threats they face, both today and in the future, as well as the development of plans for strengthening resilience of their food systems.  

 

On behalf of the Global Panel, I am delighted to invite you to the online launch of the report: Building Resilience and Enhancing Nutrition in Africa’s food systems.  

 

The webinar will be held on Tuesday 21st January at 1.00 p.m. GMT  

 

Please click here to register and join the webinar. You are welcome to share it with others who may be interested in the report.  

 

We will be hosting a panel discussion on the key messages of the report, and the priorities for action on improving the resilience of food systems. We will hear from the following speakers:  
  • Sir John Beddington, Chair, Global Panel
  • Prof. Evan Fraser, Chair, Global Panel Lead Expert Group
  • Dr Shenggen Fan, Chair Professor of China Agricultural University
  • Dr Patrick Kormawa, Director of Food Security and Climate-Smart Agricultural Transformation
  • Adinew Abate, Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture Program Manager, Ministry of Health, Ethiopia
  • Dr Andrew Jamali, Director, National Planning Commission
  • Dr Mirriam Matitia, University of Lilongwe, Malawi
  • Dr Celso Morretti, Panel member, Immediate Past President, Brazilian Agricultural Reserarch Corporation (Embrapa)
  • Dr Beth Dunford, Vice President for Agriculture, Human and Social Development, African Development Bank, and Panel representative for Dr Akin Adesina, President.

 

The report identifies key challenges and opportunities for strengthening food system resilience, to enhance nutrition to benefit both human health and the environment. It highlights that significant progress can be achieved through the collective political will, intellectual resources, and capacities of the three countries, local communities, and citizens.

  

The report provides key messages relevant to the three countries and other African nations, identifying gaps between practical achievements and requirements, and outlining priority actions. It offers important recommendations and priorities for governments, international organizations, donors, researchers, and the private sector. 

 

With best wishes,  

 

Prof. Sandy Thomas
