About Program/Project

There are several ongoing initiatives that need to be operationalized.

The Dakar 2 Summit, Feed Africa: Food Sovereignty and Resilience, organized by the Africa Development Bank (AfDB) in early 2023, generated the strong political will of African Heads of State and development investment support to urgently deliver climate-smart agricultural technologies to millions of farmers, structured around the development of "Food and Agriculture Delivery Compacts."

The Lomé Declaration on Fertilizers and Soil Health in West Africa and the Sahel, signed in May 2023 under the auspices of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the resulting Roadmap, developed under the auspices of the World Bank in anticipation of the Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health (AFSH) Action Plan, laid out actions and commitments to implement the AFSH Action Plan in the ECOWAS region.

The African Union's 10-year Action Plan and the Soil Initiative for Africa was endorsed at the AFSH Summit held in Nairobi in May 2024, and this will generate significant donor interest and investments, which form an unprecedented opportunity to help Africa meet its food security and soil health challenges.

The Coalition, launched at the AFSH Summit in May 2024, is a united group of stakeholders – which includes the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC), the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI), and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) representing the CGIAR through the Excellence in Agronomy Initiative – that will build on the significant donor interest generated through the Dakar 2 Summit, the Lomé Declaration, and the AFSH Summit and help convert opportunities into programs on the ground. Specifically, this would include:

· Work with the African Union, ECOWAS, and other regional economic communities (RECs) and stakeholders to drive agricultural productivity and inclusive agricultural transformation that supports smallholder farmers, climate adaptation, and agricultural value chains.

· Develop a unique value proposition for donors and thereby unlock funds for large-scale programs.

· Multiply impact, transfer knowledge, and harmonize actions across the region.

· Support institutional and human capacity building of key stakeholders.

· Develop new technologies to meet emerging global
