SUMMARY:The Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology - Agroecology TPP 2nd Annual Members Forum Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology – Agroecology TPP\n2nd Annual Members Forum Meeting\n12 – 13 March 2024\, Nairobi\, Kenya – ICRAF Conference Hall & Online \nAgenda \n\nBackground and Objectives of the Meeting\nThe Agroecology TPP was established to accelerate and co-ordinate work on agroecology across international\, national and local scales\, with the aim of fostering transitions to more sustainable agricultural and food systems. The Members Forum is composed of all institutions that formally engage in TPP projects\, are active in the TPP’s science-policy or sciencedevelopment interface\, are represented in the governance and advisory bodies or have submitted an application form and agree to the membership charter. In addition to institutional members\, individuals participating in the TPP’s Community of Practice are warmly welcomed to contribute to the annual meeting. \nThe overarching goal of the Annual Members Forum Meeting is to foster a safe and inclusive environment to facilitate meaningful – and critical – reflections on the functioning and progress of the Agroecology TPP so far. We aim to assess key achievements\, identify successful strategies\, pinpoint challenges – as well as their underlying causes – and determine priorities for the future on what we should continue on doing and what\, instead\, we should do differently. The specific objectives of the meeting include: \n\n\n 	Progress evaluation: Reviewing the TPP’s overall direction and positioning\, including achievements\, research findings\, key challenges\, and lessons learnt.\n 	Global community building: Strengthening the TPP by fostering connectivity\, inclusivity\, and a sense of belonging among stakeholders\, including members of the Steering Committee and the Community of Practice (CoP).\n 	Needs assessment: Examining knowledge and implementation gaps that can be addressed in future endeavors.\n 	Collaboration framework: Establishing a clear path for collaboration to enhance partnerships as well as prioritize areas for partnerships.\n 	Innovative science: Exploring concrete avenues to accelerate transformative approaches that are aligned with the principles of agroecology\, all the while fostering a shared understanding of how to ‘do science differently’.\n\nFull event programme below

SUMMARY:INVITATION TO A RAPID ASSESSMENT STUDY ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF AGROECOLOGY ON NUTRITION AND FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA USING SYSTEMS THINKING AND MODELLING
DESCRIPTION:As one of the key Agroecology stakeholders in Kenya\, we are inviting you to a one day Agroecology workshop next week on Tuesday 18th July 2023\, starting 8.30am at the ICIPE Campus\, Bee health board room. \nThe aim of the workshop is to exchange ideas and perspectives on agroecology (AE) and its adoption and to engage you in a phase of participatory modeling. \nThe workshop has been designed in two main parts: \n\nUndertake discussions on practice of agroecology and its contribution to food nutrition and security\nBuild a concept model for agroecology adaptation for policy influence\n\nThe workshop is part of an  Eastern Africa project that has been awarded to BvAT by the US Department of State at the Africa Union ( USAU) for a period of 1 year. The purpose of this project is to implement activities that will document comprehensive evidence on the contribution of agroecology to nutrition and food security. \nIt is expected that the project will build foundations for engagement with policy makers and influence decisions on investments and mainstreaming of agroecology in the Eastern Africa region. Additionally\, the project will help build a critical mass (multistakeholder) for sustaining results achieved through the project. \nThis workshop will therefore form the main data generation process through mental modelling to provide a causal loop diagram (CLD) on factors that affect Agroecology adoption and its contribution to nutrition and food security.

SUMMARY:Scaling up Agroecology Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Since its launch in 2018\, the Scaling up Agroecology Initiative seeks to mobilize dialogue\, cooperation and investment within and beyond the United Nations (UN) system\, to bring agroecology to scale and achieve multiple sustainable development goals through sustainable agriculture and food systems. Different UN Agencies are progressively supporting agroecology across their respective mandates in partnership with governments and key actors across the food system. \nThree years into the implementation of the Initiative (2019-2021)\, this webinar aims at sharing initial achievements\, success stories and collective understanding of the enabling environment that takes agroecology forward on the ground\, in different contexts and at different levels. This event is jointly organized by the UN advisory mechanism of the initiative\, composed of FAO\, International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)\, World Food Programme (WFP)\, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)\, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)\, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)\, and World Health Organization (WHO). \nInterpretation in English\, French\, Spanish\, Russian\, Arabic and Chinese will be provided. \nCheck out the programme and register here or follow via webcast. \nLearn more

SUMMARY:Launch of the CAADP 3rd Biennial Review Report
DESCRIPTION:Background and Context \nThe 3rd Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Biennial Review (BR) Report was endorsed by the assembly of African Heads of State and Government during 35th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State and Government in February 2022. The BR is the primary mutual accountability mechanism that the African Union and its Member States use to track the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development programme (CAADP) borne from the Malabo Declaration and the t Biennial Review Report is a fundamental instrument that shows outcomes of different agricultural efforts and interventions on the continent\, to enable countries track\, measure and report progress achieved against agreed result areas. \nIn the 3rd BR cycle\, 51 countries (out of 55) reported performance across 46 indicators. The report is particularly significant as it is being released after two of the most difficult years for African agriculture: since early 2020\, the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged health systems\, depressed agricultural production\, and disrupted market systems. Smallholder producers and SMEs\, most of them run by women and youth\, bore the brunt of COVID. But even before COVID\, the fall armyworm infestation (between 2018 and 2019) was a serious concern\, and a persistent desert locust outbreak from 2019 saw crops and pasture destroyed. In addition\, African countries continued to deal with the vagaries of climate change with growing frequency of extreme weather events signaling the need for more aggressive mitigation and climate-related adaptions. Against this backdrop the 3rd BR report\, titled “Accelerating CAADP Implementation for a Resilient\nAfrican Food System” will be an important basis for dialogue and action on agricultural development in Africa. \nThe Report is timely as it comes mid-way through the implementation of the Malabo commitments and goals to be achieved by 2025. It also comes shortly after the yearlong UNFSS process that focused attention on food systems in 2021. The objective of the BR report is to stimulate post-BR dialogues and action processes\, that show performance of African countries towards achieving the Malabo Goals and facilitate dialogue\, learning band action within countries and RECS. \nThe launch of the 3rd BR report is in line with efforts aimed at increasing awareness and advocacy among all stakeholder and to build momentum behind the CAADP Agenda for increased political\, policy and financial commitment. The specific objectives are: \nFind Attached the Concept note and The Launch Agenda \nAgenda -Launch of the 3rd CAADP BR Report -10 March 2022 \nConcept Note – Launch of the 3rd CAADP Biennial Review Report Launch \n

SUMMARY:ORGANIC BUSINESS WORKSHOP: EXPLORING PARTNERSHIPS FOR NEW ORGANIC BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
DESCRIPTION:The Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN) together with its partners invites you to the third Organic Industry Business Event on Thursday\, 24th March (9.00am) at The Sportsview Hotel Kasarani (behind ICIPE Complex). As you may know\, the Organic industry is the fastest growing subsector in agriculture globally\, trading billions of dollars’ worth of products annually. This global trend is gaining pace in Kenya with people seeking healthy food amidst the Covid19 pandemic and food safety lapses in local food supply. A growing middleclass is fast becoming selective with food and export markets are becoming increasingly critical on sustainability\, carbon emissions and pesticide residues. \nThe Kenya Organic Agriculture Network has been an industry leader making meaningful business linkages within the organic space. KOAN has assisted notable companies with strategic and much needed advisory and farmer linkage services that have led to millions of dollars’ worth of trade both locally and for export to date. In a bid to rapidly expand the organic space\, KOAN has partnered up with the Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO)\, the Research Institute for Organic Agriculture (FiBL)\, Africrops Limited\, the Organic Agriculture Centre of Kenya (OACK) among other organizations to foster organic market development by focusing on both the domestic and export market. \nThe Organic Business Workshop is an invite only event to present identified and explored organic business opportunities for the local and export market\, focusing on organic products originating from Murang’a County. There will be opportunity to discuss and integrate new partners into the identified pathways within three main Strategic Business Groups; I. Organic Vegetables and Fruits for Local Market\, II. Organic Herbs and Spices and lastly III. Organic Fruits for Export. \nWe are looking forward to your engagement and participation in the workshop\, as it is the next phase of exploring joint organic business opportunities identified. Meanwhile\, please take the time to register on the provided link. \nhttps://forms.gle/2sqJyUFU3MYELiWNA \nThis will allow us to plan adequately and make sure all COVID19 preventive measures are put in place.
