The year 2021 is critical for food system transformation. Over the past 18 months, FANRPAN and its partners have
responded to the United Nations Secretary General’s call to support a dynamic and harmonized global push to
leverage changes in our food systems to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 through the
Food Systems Summit Dialogue process. FANRPAN and its partners participanted in and convened 6 independent
United Nations Food System Summit (UNFSS) dialogues where challenges, opportunities, lessons and gamechanging solutions to Africa’s food systems were discussed.
This year’s FANRPAN Annual Regional Multistakeholder Policy Dialogue is being held a week after the UN Food
Systems Summit and is critical for Africa’s food systems. It offers an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the
outcomes of the Summit and consider its implications for advancing the commitments made at the Malabo Heads
of State Summit and the achievement of SDGs.
