Strengthening Evidence-Based Policy Practice for Sustainable Food Systems under the EU-AU Partnership

粮食和营养安全以及可持续农业是非洲的关键发展问题。非洲撒哈拉以南非洲国家森林战略是许多非洲国家的政策优先事项之一，也是Au/欧盟国际发展议程的核心。FNSSA是非盟-欧盟科学、技术和创新高级别政策对话的优先研究与创新领域。泛非政策经济分析网的建立进一步证实了这一点。因此，StEPPFoS旨在通过实施将PANAP与FNSSA伙伴关系联系起来的活动，为FNSSA 10年路线图和全球向可持续粮食系统过渡做出贡献。具体目标是：（1）提高利益攸关方的能力;（2）加强科学与政策的互动;（3）改进在政策制定过程中促进科学支持的战略;（4）扩大和加强泛非国家农业行动计划网络。StEPPFoS将在48个月内通过其8个工作包（WP）实施。能力建设、利益相关者参与、参与性监测、评估和学习是实现StEPPFoS目标的主要方法，同时坚持开放科学原则和有效的数据管理做法。该联合体完全有能力实现这些目标，因为它利用了来自欧洲和非洲可靠的学术、研究和政策机构的合作伙伴的专门知识和经验。

Food and nutrition security and sustainable agriculture (FNSSA) are among the critical development concerns in Africa. FNSSA is among the policy priorities in many African countries and at the center of the AU/EU international development agenda. FNSSA was the priority R&I area in the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialogue on Science, Technology, and Innovation. This was further substantiated by the establishment of the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies (PANAP). StEPPFoS thus, aims contribute to the FNSSA 10-year roadmap and the global transition towards sustainable food systems through the implementation of activities that link PANAP to the FNSSA partnership. Specific objectives are (1) to improved capacities of stakeholders (2) to enhanced science-policy interface (3) to improve strategies that promote scientific support within policy development (4) to expand and strengthen the PANAP Network. StEPPFoS will be implemented through its 8 work-packages (WPs) over a period of 48 months. Capacity building, stakeholder engagements, participatory monitoring, evaluation, and learning are the main methods to be used to deliver StEPPFoS objectives whiles adhering to open science principles and effective data management practices. The consortium is well positioned to deliver these objectives as it draws on the expertise and experiences of its partners drawn from both Europe and Africa credible academic, research, and policy institutions.
