The African Union & the European Commission launched the "Strengthening Evidence-Based Policy Practice for Sustainable Food Systems under the AU-EU Partnership" StEPPFoS, (HORIZON-CL6-2023-FARM2FORK-01) project which is designed to promote policy coherence and alignment across #PANAP and #FNSSA to contribute towards minimizing fragmentation of policy initiatives in the agri-food sector at national and regional levels.
This follows the launch on 14/02 of the CEA-FIRST, the Consortium Europe Africa on Research and Innovation for Food Systems Transformation to operationalize the International Research Consortium IRC
Food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture (FNSSA) are among the critical development concerns in Africa. FNSSA is among the policy priorities in many African countries and at the center of the AU/EU international development agenda. FNSSA was the priority R&I area in the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialogue on Science, Technology, and Innovation. This was further substantiated by the establishment of the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies (PANAP).

StEPPFoS thus, aims contribute to the FNSSA 10-year roadmap and the global transition towards sustainable food systems through the implementation of activities that link PANAP to the FNSSA partnership. Specific objectives are:
- to improve capacities of stakeholders
- to enhance science-policy interface
- to improve strategies that promote scientific support within policy development
- to expand and strengthen the PANAP Network.
The consortium is well positioned to deliver these objectives as it draws on the expertise and experiences of its partners drawn from both Europe and Africa credible academic, research, and policy institutions.
