Thematic FocusFood security pillars – availability, accessibility, affordability & environmental sustainability

1. Increased Food Supply/ reducing hungerFood availability – issues related to (a) production – commodities, livestock, fisheries,

crops & resource use – biodiversity (genetic resources, indigenous crops – livestock), water and land; and (b) Technologies – biotechnology, seeds, fertilizer, postharvest, equipment/engineering, ICTs etc

2. Food safety – animal health, food standards, food facilities, laboratories

3. Food quality including nutrition e.g. bio-fortification,

4. Markets & distribution – increase earnings / affordability / accessibility; cold chains, storage

5. AU & EU stated commitments & financial contributions.

1.1 Analysis of the impact of research cooperation on food security between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa

8

Scope (continental, sub-regional, bi-regional & global); time frame (5, 10, 15 years)

1. African priorities for food security – within the frame of CAADP (6% increase in agricultural productivity). Resources, programmes, implementation dates.

2. EU priorities for supporting Africa to attain food security goals and existing mechanisms. EU framework programmes, bilateral MS programmes and private research funds.

3. Joint African/EU research and capacity building projects over 5 – 10 years. Main areas of focus & results to date.

4. Global food security frameworks as they impact on continental, sub-regional & bi-regional research and development, S&T cooperation on food security

1.1 Analysis of the impact of research cooperation on food security between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa

9

Methods1. Data harvesting/mining

• Identify main actors and their main S&T schemes/programmes/projects on food security as well as budgets and project/review/impact reports; AU, EU, and implementing /executing agencies e.g NEPAD, FARA, and present and past initiatives – CORAF/WECARD, ASARECA, SADC, RUFORUM, ANAFE, RECs, and joint Africa-EU initiatives e.g. PAEPARD, ERA Net for Africa. ERA-ARD

• Internet research & calls to partners –

• Identify key outputs & beneficiaries of the collaboration

2. Analysis

a. Identify quantitative and qualitative indicators for determining impacts at (a) policy, (b) science – quality & quantitative (e.g. publications etc) (c) capacity development (d) uptake - production, processing, markets

b. Continental, regional & bi-regional programmes, projects & Country e.g. partners

1.1 Analysis of the impact of research cooperation on food security between Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa

1.2. Bridging the public-private sector divide for greater impact on food security outcomes

around joint priorities• Inform policy makers and programme owners about the

translation of R&D food security research outcomes • consultation with representatives of industry / business and

their finance partnersOutcome: routes for involvement of the private sector in a

collaborative platform Leader: MRS

Budget: 7 PM, Other costs €21.8kTime: Months 6-18, June 13 – June 14

11

1.2. Bridging the public-private sector divide for greater impact on food security outcomes

around joint priorities• Identification of private sector, researcher, innovators,

programmes on small agriculture stakeholders, private, urban agriculture and others stakeholders in Africa + contact + exchange (collaboration with RECs to help for identification)

• Small scale meetings and interview in different countries in Africa and Europe

• Stakeholders Meeting in Africa to share the consultation results

12

3.3 Strengthening intra-EU coordination of support for bi-regional food security research co-operation

• Encouraging coordination within & between EU programmes, EU MS/AC as well as AU programmes, private sector and foundations’ programmes

• Consultations with owners of food security research programmes• Strengthening complementarities and promote coordination between

programme objectives for bi-regional and bi-lateral research cooperationOutput (potential): consensus meeting among actors basis for planning a

collaborative food security research platform for joint food security priorities Road map for a collaborative platform

Outcome: assessment of the scope for leveraging diverse programmes and projects for more efficient impact on outcomes of food security priorities

Leader: IRDBudget: 7PM, Other costs €83k

Time: M13-31, Jan 14 to July 2015

3.3 Strengthening intra-EU coordination of support for bi-regional food security research co-operation

– Mapping of owners of regional and national food security research programmes and their projects to be consulted:FP7 projects (EIARD, ERA-ARD, PAEPARD, etc.), CGIAR Innovation platforms, regional Europeaid or FED projects including research activities on food security, bilateral cooperation projects from Member States, regional projects for Member states, African Union programmes (CAADP etc.), private sector and foundations, some universities etc.

– Elaboration of a scheme for the consultation about willingness and mechanisms / instruments for a better coordination on bi-regional food security research cooperation.

– Small scale consultations and synthesizing– Consensus meeting among interested stakeholders leading on a detailed

plan/road map for T1.5 Collaborative food security platform for joint food security priorities.

Platform in Food Security ST & I• A functional platform for dialogue and co-operation between EU &

Sub-Saharan countries on research in Food Security in order to be able to deal with the upcoming scientific challenges concerning:– Food production– Food industry – Food trade– Food safety & Nutrition security

• This platform could be a crosscutting platform between the 3 Societal challenges addresses in CAAST-Net +:– Food security & climate change– Food security and health

• For organization and governance of this platform, we could inspire from examples of existing ones for operational purposes:– Metropolitan Food Security Platform from Netherlands– International Global Food Security platform from FAO– Platform for dialogue and co-operation between the riparian countries in order

to be able to deal with the upcoming water and fisheries management (OMVS, OMVG, etc.)

21

Risks / contingencies / dependencies

• Importance of following the initial calendar as each tasks depend on the previous ones

• Links with other WPs to be established:

– Coordination of WP1,2,3 stakeholders consultations?
