The first priority of the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) roadmap on Food Nutrition Security for Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA) was adopted by the AU-EU Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) in 2016. The implementation of the FNSSA Roadmap is expected to be improved through a ‘Platform’ of an alliance of stakeholders (including funders) with a long-term and sustainable governance and funding mechanism, and a knowledge management and communication system that will inform policy makers and other major FNSSA actors. The ‘Platform’ being established using an International Research Consortium (IRC) model, is currently underway under the aegis of the European Union Horizon 2020 Coordination & Support Action (CSA) project: The Long Term European African Partnership for Food Nutrition Security for Sustainable Agriculture (LEAP4FNSSA) in line with the decisions of its General Assembly and the EC note-to-file, both in 2020.
