Civil society forum
Panel discussion 2: advancing Africa’s agricultural systems in the face of climate change
Immerse yourself in the transformative realm of the Civil Society Forum, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices and aspirations of civil society organisations working towards transformation in food systems. Through engaging discussions, knowledge sharing, and interactive sessions, we aim to amplify the voices of civil society and promote their meaningful engagement in shaping agricultural policies and programs. This forum serves as a catalyst for collective action, where diverse stakeholders come together to address the challenges faced by smallholder farmers, rural communities, and vulnerable populations, particularly with a focus on gender. Together, we will explore innovative solutions, advance co-working, and drive positive change across the continent. Join us in this transformative journey as we strive to build a resilient and prosperous future for Africa's agricultural sector, leaving no one behind.
