CEA-FIRST, the Consortium Europe Africa on Research and Innovation for Food Systems Transformation, consists of 21 partners from Africa and Europe, partly from the former LEAP4FNSSA, extended with new public and private network partners. CEA-FIRST will operationalise the International Research Consortium (IRC) as a long-term platform on food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture (FNSSA) in line with the FNSSA Roadmap of the AU-EU High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD). This IRC is a memberbased, multi-actor platform and will work towards increasing synergies and coherence while reducing fragmentation and duplication of research efforts. Its aim is to promote higher returns on investments and impact on business development in Africa and Europe, by linking actors, research and innovation projects, initiatives, and funding programmes. CEA-FIRST will: 1. provide public access to a large knowledge platform, 2. offer a sound method for analysis of R&I activities, 3. support the updating of the FNSSA Roadmap, 4. establish operational working groups and thematic research calls. The final output will be a fully functional IRC, including governance bodies. CEA-FIRST will also support its liaison with the High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD). It will create a learning environment, including communication channels, to support multi stakeholder networks and to strengthen R&I coordination. The IRC will also serve related AU-EU policy priorities, such as the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy and the Innovation Agenda of the HLPD, as wellas the European Green Deal priorities (and farm to fork strategy) and the AU priorities like the African Free Trade Area.

CEA-First是欧洲-非洲粮食系统转型研究和创新联盟，由来自非洲和欧洲的21个合作伙伴组成，部分来自前LEAP4FNSSA，并扩大了新的公共和私人网络合作伙伴。CEA-First将根据非盟-欧盟高层政策对话(HLPD)的FNSSA路线图，将国际研究联盟(IRC)作为粮食和营养安全以及可持续农业(FNSSA)的长期平台。该中心是一个以成员为基础的多行为者平台，将致力于提高协同作用和一致性，同时减少研究工作的碎片化和重复。其目的是通过将行为者、研究和创新项目、倡议和筹资方案联系起来，促进更高的投资回报和对非洲和欧洲商业发展的影响。CEA-First将：1.向公众提供一个大型知识平台；2.为R&I活动的分析提供可靠的方法；3.支持FNSSA路线图的更新；4.建立业务工作组和专题研究电话会议。最终的输出将是一个功能齐全的IRC，包括治理机构。CEA-First还将支持其与高级别政策对话的联系。它将创造一个学习环境，包括沟通渠道，以支持多方利益攸关方网络，并加强R&I协调。IRC还将服务于相关的非盟-欧盟政策优先事项，如气候变化和可持续能源以及高级别发展署的创新议程，以及欧洲绿色协议优先事项(和从农场到餐桌的战略)和非盟优先事项，如非洲自由贸易区。
