Towards a Pan-African Approach to Food Security

Hafez Ghanem

No 2208, Policy briefs on Agriculture Markets, Policies and Food Security from Policy Center for the New South

Abstract: This brief argues for a pan-African food security initiative that would: 1). encourage free trade in food products between African countries; 2). promote multi-country regional investments in infrastructure to enhance agricultural productivity and resilience to climate change; 3). support public-private partnerships to establish fertilizer factories across the continent; 4). create an African council responsible for coordinating and encouraging agricultural research and development; and 5). support a facility that would ensure vulnerable African countries can finance food imports in times of crisis.
