The 4th Africa Food Systems Transformation Meeting brings together National Food Systems Convenors and African countries, alongside regional partners to advance implementation of national food systems pathways following the advent of CAADP-Kampala (January 2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit +4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4). The meeting provides a focused country-led space to take stock of progress, cross-country learning, align priorities, and strengthen coordinated support for food systems transformation toward 2030.

Convened by the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub in collaboration with the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and other UN agencies, the African Union Commission and AUDA-NEPAD, Regional Economic Communities, and other regional and sub-regional stakeholders and partners, the meeting brings together governments, UN entities, development partners, civil society, youth networks, Indigenous Peoples’ organizations, research institutions, and the private sector.
