Plenary: African Food Systems Year in Review

Director General of ILRI Appolinaire Djikeng will be speaking.

How far have we come, and who is truly leading the charge? Acting as powerful advocates, the First Ladies will bring the stories of the continent’s grassroots champions, the women and local leaders, to the main stage. Explore how leadership is driving investment in nutritionsensitive farming, empowering women-led enterprises, and securing healthier futures for the next generation. This is a unique opportunity to witness how high-level influence can accelerate action on the ground. Through stories and strategy, we’ll unveil the data driving decisions, with tools like the Africa Food Systems Report (AFSR) lighting the way. Join this call to action and help put Africa’s true changemakers, those closest to the soil, at the very heart of the solution.
