Cela fait quelques semaines depuis notre révolutionnaire #AfricaSBCSummit24. Do you have any key takeaways to share with us! 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿! Engaging the private sector in social and behavior change (SBC) initiatives is often overlooked, yet it is crucial for fostering sustainable development and impactful change. During our 3-day engagement, we gained some valuable tips from inspiring leaders on how to improve our private sector engagement. Try these out- 🔦Strategic collaborations: 🎙️Norkor Akua Duah, MD MullenLowe Global-Ghana, underscored the importance of a strategic, step-by-step approach when collaborating with the private sector. She reminded us that while projects may have endpoints, the ongoing work in SBC continues, necessitating a long-term vision and sustainable impact. 🔦Ethical alignments: 🎙️Saba Amdework from Zeleman Communications-Ethiopia, pointed out the ethical considerations in aligning private sector interests with SBC goals. She emphasized the need for HCD approaches (co-creation sessions) to deeply understand and leverage private sector motivations, finding common ground and engagement opportunities that benefit all parties. 🔦Creating sustainable value chains: 🎙️Delilah Takawira, Senior Technical Advisor at FHI 360-Zimbabwe, shared insights on the Takunda project, which engages food producers and processors to generate income and profits while ensuring families have access to nutritious food. This initiative exemplifies a sustainable and beneficial value chain for all stakeholders. 🔦Ensuring lasting impact: 🎙️Lesly Marange CEO of Glytime Foods, highlighted their efforts to build farmer capacities, ensure food safety and quality, and establish fair pricing mechanisms. These elements are essential for maintaining the interests of all parties involved and ensuring a lasting impact beyond the project's duration. How are you uniquely engaging the private sector in your SBC interventions? #SocialBehaviorChange #SBCatFHI360 #PSE

The more we try to change food systems the more we realise that inner change - in ourselves - is the key to external change in the system that we are a part of. UNDP’s Conscious Food Systems Alliance has been on a 3 year journey to highlight this and now Thomas Legrand takes stock of what we’ve learned:
The Conscious Food Systems Alliance journey: 3 years of learnings, challenges, achievements, and new horizons. What is the power of inner transformation for #FoodSystems change? The UNDP-convened Conscious Food Systems Alliance (CoFSA) was publicly launched a year ago after two years of co-creation with global partners. Now, it's time to celebrate this unique journey by sharing our insights and learnings. 📚💡 In the past three years, CoFSA has led a movement to harness the power of inner capacities for the transformation of #FoodSystems. Our community-driven efforts have defined and positioned this vital field, fostering a space for collective learning, and launching funded projects that pave the way for change. Through collaboration with leading scientific partners, we've advocated for integrating inner capacities—our awareness, mindsets, values, and transformative skills—as a vital approach to building regenerative food systems. Our journey has illuminated critical blind spots, emphasizing the significance of farmers' well-being, psychological resilience, and the preservation of traditional food cultures. ➡️ Learn more about CoFSA’s journey: https://lnkd.in/dAws_fKf

By participating in the CUES EU Project, ICLEI hopes to contribute to Consumer Understanding of Eating Sustainably 🥗. The four-year project has officially started and we are proud to be part of it! Our mission? To foster sustainable food consumption through a Triple Change strategy: 🌍 Shifting consumer behaviours towards sustainable eating to cultivate a culture of sustainability and health-consciousness. 🔍 Integrating the most persuasive cues to boost transparency, traceability, and trustworthiness in food labelling throughout the value chain. 🤝 Engaging policymakers at EU and national levels to advocate for inclusive and smart approaches to communicate food sustainability. Together with our project partners (Banco Alimentar Contra a Fome, Tudatos Vásárlók Egyesülete, European Football for Development Network, and Opendot), ICLEI will manage community-led interventions across various #foodenvironments, both physical and digital, prioritising the inclusion of all voices. These interventions will culminate in the development of a Behaviour Change Toolkit designed to promote #sustainable food consumption. Follow the CUES page to learn more!

The food industry is at a crossroads. With 2030 rapidly approaching, how can we ensure we're on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals? On 10 July, Wednesday, industry leaders will gather at The Conduit in London to tackle this pressing question. We're proud to announce that our very own Eleanor Besley-Gould, Director, Xynteo, will be lending her expertise to the conversation. The "Next in Sustainable Food" panel at the Food Sector Exchange by UN Global Compact Network UK will dive deep into the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, and Ellie will share insights on fostering "good growth" and the power of collaboration to drive meaningful change. This isn't just another conference – it's a chance to shape the future of food. Whether you're in business, government, academia, or civil society, your voice is needed in this crucial dialogue.

International Relations I Econ.I Policy & Advocacy I Project Cycle Management I Climate Change I Food Systems Aficionado
Most learning institutions,train the students on "what" should be done and not "how" it should be done.@CALA offers an eclectic combination of both,as well as seed capital to actualize your Action Learning Project.Their delivery model is unparalleled and nudges you to think beyond the proficient limits.This,in my point of view,should be added as an eighth wonder of the world. Take a listen of my interview on CALA's impactful excursion.
According to a Food Waste Index Report by UNEP and Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), every Kenyan throws away an average of 99 kilograms of food every year, with the country wasting a total of 5.2 Tonnes of food every 12 months. CALA delegate Benjamin Musungu is on a mission to combat food wastage and promote sustainable practices through food redistribution. His dedication to this cause led him, together with fellow cohort members, to build an app that offers a digital marketplace to redistribute excess food from the value chain and promote overall food security. The project is anchored on action learning, a core component of The Centre for African Leaders in Agriculture (CALA)'s Advanced Leadership Programme. https://lnkd.in/dqT6BKc8 Beyond turning ideas into actions that are making a real difference in communities, Benjamin has also: 1. Found a community of African leaders that share his passion 2. Collaborated on innovative food-systems solutions 3. Amplified his efforts to address food wastage 4. Advanced his career goals #CALA #foodsystems #sustainability #careeradvancement #networking #impactdriven #foodsystemstransformation #ami
