About

AKADEMIYA2063, in partnership with the AUC, is convening the 2023 ReSAKSS Conference to launch the 15th edition of the ATOR. The conference will take stock of progress under the Malabo agenda and promote dialogue on pathways toward a more comprehensive post-Malabo agenda that integrates more fully the priorities for successful food systems transformation in the context of a changing climate and global shocks. The goal remains to enhance the implementation of the CAADP/Malabo agenda and advance progress towards an agriculture-led, broad-based economic transformation across Africa. The hybrid event will take place on November 27-29 under the theme “African Food SystemsTransformation and the Post-Malabo Agenda.”
