This year’s theme,“Taking Ownership: Rethinking Sustainable Financing for Africa’s Food Systems,” reflects our shared commitment to driving action-oriented conversations and strategies that support sustainable food systems financing. The summit will explore the current dynamics at the micro, meso, and macro levels, while emphasizing follow-through on implementation beyond the summit.
We have attached the evolving version of the summit program. A finalized version will be shared closer to the event date.

22/05 Funding Agroecology /biodiversity/Nutrition
Transformational Investing in Food Systems (TIFS) channels investments into agroecology, biodiversity, and nutrition by supporting initiatives that integrate ecological principles with equitable and resilient food systems. TIFS prioritizes funding for projects that promote diversified farming systems, enhance ecosystem services, and strengthen local food cultures and diets. Through a systems-based approach, TIFS aims to shift capital towards innovations and practices that
restore soil health, preserve agrobiodiversity, and improve nutritional outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations. This investment strategy not only fosters environmental sustainability but also empowers communities to build sovereignty over their food systems. While TIFS does not operate a traditional grant application process, interested parties can connect with the initiative through their official website
