A statement from the Chair of the Zero Hunger Coalition, Ibrahim Mayaki, who attended the #G7 Development Minsters meeting in Pescara this week: "It was an honour for me to attend the G7 meeting of development ministers on behalf of the African Union. I commend Italy for recognizing food system transformation as a key priority and adopting an approach to Africa that  promotes equal partnerships and shared economic prosperity. As Africa leaders prepare the Post-Malabo Agenda that will define the continent's agrifood development framework over the next 10 years, it is important that we continue to work together with our global partners. This is an important year for agrifood systems as the G20 prepares, under the leadership of Brazil, to launch the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty. We must leverage this current political momentum and work together to end hunger and malnutrition. The solutions exist, and we must unite to put them into place." ➡️ Find out more about what Dr Mayaki had to say about the #G20 Global Alliance on Hunger and Poverty: https://lnkd.in/e89jY76T ➡️ and article in Devex: https://lnkd.in/ePFwBmY3

Today, global food systems are challenged by the complexity resulting from the interconnection between agriculture, nutrition, the environment and the economy.  🌍 In Madagascar, this challenge is significant due to the convergence of several major crises: climate change, growing food insecurity, and persistent economic fragility. To shape a better future for the country, the national taskforce for food systems transformation has been revitalised, offering a unique opportunity to rethink and transform Madagascar's food systems to build resilience against current and future crises. 🎤 RAHERIJAONA Clara, co-leader of the taskforce and focal point for food systems at the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Madagascar, along with Francine Picard, from the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate, explain how the taskforce operates, its achievements to date, and how inclusivity is at the heart of this process. The taskforce is composed of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, the National Nutrition Office, the United Nations Office in Madagascar, the FAO, the World Food Programme, UNICEF, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and is supported by Agsys and the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate. #Madagascar #FoodSystems #SDG2 Thierry Randriarilala Bodo Rakotomalala Astrid Marschatz Lié MAMINIAINA https://lnkd.in/eBbEar2x

🌍 Currently, 2.4 billion people worldwide struggle to access adequate and affordable nutrition, many of whom are in Africa. African leaders are seeking to redress this situation, most notably as part of the third iteration of the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP3), which will define the continent’s agrifood system transformation over the next decade. Among the priorities in CAADP3, tackling nutrition and food insecurity remains key.  How can Africa capitalise on this current political momentum to ensure that nutrition remains central to the continent’s agrifood systems transformation? 📺 This was a key question discussed in a recent webinar organised by the Zero Hunger Coalition, with the SUN Movement, GAIN, SDG2 Advocacy Hub and the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate. Ibrahim Mayaki, Lawrence Haddad CMG, Neema K. Lugangira, Tendai G., Namukolo Covic, George Ouma, Kyoko Okamura Shibata and MATHEWS MHURU responded to it. Check out the key messages from the discussion below. ⬇️ ⏭️ This webinar was the first in the #RoadToKampala series. The next webinar will take place on November 7 and will explore how global alliances can support the African CAADP through global frameworks.

Our Chair, Dr Ibrahim Mayaki, is in Rome this week attending #CFS52. Yesterday, he participated in the first session with Maximo Torero, another member of the Coalition's Advisory Group, discussing how to strengthen coordinated policy responses to the food crisis. 🌍 He reflected on ongoing international initiatives against hunger and poverty. In these final months of 2024, the international community is gearing up for a series of pivotal global gatherings: the United Nations General Assembly, the #ClimateWeekNYC, the #G20 Leaders' Summit, the three #COPs, and now the Committee on World Food Security. The outcomes of these events will have profound implications for global food security. In these debates, #ZeroHunger must remain a global priority and coordination & alignment among these new initiatives is key. 🆙 "A holistic approach that integrates food systems with climate, biodiversity and economic policies is critical." 🧾 In this piece written for the Zero Hunger Coalition, Dr Mayaki also spoke about how global leaders can ensure continued progress towards zero hunger. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e9kudKSt Climate Group FAO African Union AUDA NEPAD Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) World Food Programme Global Donor Platform for Rural Development
