Report

Africa

The year 2021 was a significant year for food. It represented the commencement of the decade of action towards the attainment of the SDGs and was a year in which significant events and discourse around food systems were held. Notably, the UN Food Systems Summit in September 2021, with the associated independent dialogues that fed into it, the 7th Global Forum of the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact in October 2021 and the Nutrition for Growth summit held in December 2021, all represent touchpoints in a growing awareness of food system transformation.

 

2021’s #AfricanCITYFOODMonth campaign built on the momentum around the UN Food Systems Summit and reflected on the Independent Summit Dialogues process that ICLEI Africa, FAO and partners conducted in 13 African cities under the FAO-ICLEI Partnership.

 

This report provides details about the #AfricanCITYFOODMonth 2021 campaign, which was geared towards generating concrete actions from cities that would contribute to achieving sustainable urban food systems in this ‘Decade of Action,’ as well as facilitating sharing and co-learning through a city-to-city learning exchange. Following a successful inaugural AfricanCITYFOODMonth campaign in July 2020, ICLEI Africa and partners came together again to use this platform, throughout July 2021, to improve the understanding of urban food systems concept, to build consensus around local food systems challenges and opportunities in African cities, and to highlight the actions and processes that are key to transforming urban food systems.
