- ACELI
ACELI Africa is a market-led platform to catalyse finance for credit-constrained East African agricultural businesses that offer potential for income and job creation. Special incentives are provided for investments promoting food security, nutrition, climate-smart production, as well as for those with a gender and youth inclusive approach. - African Risk Capacity
The African Risk Capacity (ARC) is an early disaster response and risk transfer system of the African Union to enhance the resilience of vulnerable people against drought, tropical cyclone, flood and mortal viruses through country-level insurance. - CROPS4HD – Consumption of Resilient Orphan Crops & Products for Healthier Diets
CROPS4HD seeks to improve food security and nutrition of smallholder farmers, especially women, through sustainable use and conservation of farmers’ varieties/landraces, neglected and underutilized species respecting agroecological approaches. - Nutrition in City Ecosystems (NICE)
NICE aims to improve nutrition and health, and to reduce poverty by increasing the demand and supply of diverse, agroecologically produced foods. Implemented by a Swiss public private consortium, NICE focuses on women, youth and vulnerable populations. City governments in two secondary cities each in Bangladesh, Kenya and Rwanda will be supported, and learning between cities will be facilitated to contribute to the global discourse on sustainable food systems. - RUNRES
RUNRES seeks to improve the resilience and sustainability of food systems in four different rural-urban regions across Africa. It encourages nutrient & waste recycling by installing and redirecting the by-products of innovative, ecological, hygienically safe sanitation solutions. The organic matter may then serve as an input for smallholder producers to generate a circular flow of nutrients in agriculture, thereby reinvigorating regional food systems and improving livelihoods of growing populations.
