From the 5th to the 6th August 2019, Rwanda is hosting the Africa Food Security Leadership Dialogue, a continental meeting that aims at initiating a high-level partnership platform for strengthening coordination to achieve food and nutrition security in Africa.

The two-day event, which is taking place at Kigali Convention Center, is facilitating engagement between key stakeholders to galvanize unified action around adaptation of Africa’s agriculture and food systems to climate change.

It brought together Ministers of Agriculture and Finance, heads of international institutions and Regional Economic Commissions, Nobel laureates, and eminent scientists to catalyze actions and financing to help address Africa’s worsening food security crisis under climate change.

This high level meeting has been organized in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), African Development Bank (AfDB), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and World Bank (WB).
