In this discussion event co-hosted by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), in partnership with the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and CGIAR, African leaders met with agricultural research for development experts to shape an agenda of innovative food system solutions that ensures Africa's food security and nutrition needs are at the center of their COVID-19 response and recovery and building resilience to the increasing threat of climate-related shocks.

CGIAR's Managing Director, Global Engagement and Innovation, Kundhavi Kadiresan, joined the high-level panel to present ways to expand activities, financing and partnerships that promote Africa’s food system transformation through technology and innovation.
