Through country-specific case studies, this programme seeks to develop a contextualized understanding of how food systems in Africa can transition towards greater sustainability, equity, and resilience. The call for country case studies will be open to researchers and institutions committed to exploring the political economy dynamics and inclusive development implications of this transition, particularly drivers and barriers to youth employment.
Meaningful stakeholder engagement, particularly involving youth and young women, is essential to the research process, fostering inclusive, equitable, and sustainable transitions in Africa’s food systems. We encourage all interested parties to apply, with a special invitation to youth-led organizations and African knowledge institutions. Applications are welcome from both individuals and organizations.
Please note that the deadline for the submission of questions is 9 December 2024, questions can be submitted in English or French.
