It is expected to address these challenges with a new set of policies and programs as part of its most recent Bottom-Up Economic Plan, to which research-based evidence can contribute and support decision makers in the design and implementation process. To provide such research-based evidence, the Kenyan Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) invite you to the second edition of the Kenya National Policies and Strategies (NPS) Seminar Series. This hybrid NPS seminar will take place on Monday, December 5, 14:00 – 16.00 EAT. The seminar will discuss results from an ongoing effort by KIPPRA and the CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies to quantify the expected impacts of implementing the Bottom-Up Economic Plan on key socio-economic outcomes such as the food system, jobs, poverty, inequality, and diets. To highlight the important links between the Bottom-Up Economic Plan and food system transformation in Kenya, the seminar will also present recommendations from a new NPS policy brief on “Transforming Food Systems in Kenya for a New Era of Growth and Prosperity”.

    POLICY SEMINAR La agricultura de las Américas en el camino a la COP27: desafíos y oportunidades de la política pública Co-organized by IFPRI and Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA) with support from USAID OCT 27, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT La Vigésimo séptima sesión de la Conferencia de las Partes (COP27) de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) se llevará a cabo en Sharm-El Sheik, Egipto entre el 6 y el 16 de noviembre del presente año. Ante esto y desde inicios desde este año, se ha venido trabajando con las autoridades Ministeriales y Secretarías de agricultura y ganadería de las Américas en torno a los desafíos climáticos y la necesidad de diseñar e implementar políticas públicas acorde a los requerimientos de la acción climática. Se ha acordado, y explicitado en reiteradas oportunidades, fortalecer el trabajo colectivo para aumentar la participación y el liderazgo de la agricultura de las Américas en el proceso climático. En esta dirección, el pasado 22 y 23 de setiembre en la Sede Central del IICA en Costa Rica se realizó un encuentro presencial con la participación de representaciones de 32 países de las Américas, más de 20 Ministras y Ministros de Agricultura, los CEOs de los principales fondos climáticos globales y autoridades de instituciones con gran incidencia en la política y el desarrollo regional y global. Es en continuidad a esto, y en preparación a la participación de la Agricultura de las Américas, que se organiza este evento conjunto IICA-IFPRI. El evento, La agricultura de las Américas en el camino a la COP27: desafíos y oportunidades de la política pública, busca generar un espacio de diálogo y discusión Inter agencial sobre los cambios y continuidades en la política pública regional en torno a la contribución de la agricultura para enfrentar la crisis climática. Opening Valeria Piñeiro, Acting Head of the Latin American region & Senior Research Coordinator, IFPRI Federico Villarreal, Director Cooperación Técnica, IICA, el camino iniciado hacia la COP27 por la agricultura de las Américas Panelists Brenna McKay, Private Enterprise Officer, Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Walter Oyhantcabal, Consultor en Cambio Climático y Bioeconomía Sabine Papendieck, Socia Gerente de Estrateco Consultores - Coordinadora General del Programa Argentino de Carbono Neutro Maria Mercedes Proaño Villalba, Oficial de Finanzas Climáticas en la FAO Lucrecia Rodriguez, Secretaria ejecutiva del Consejo Agropecuario Centroamericano (CAC) Closing Remarks Valeria Piñeiro, Acting Head of the Latin American region & Senior Research Coordinator, IFPRI Moderator Valeria Piñeiro, Acting Head of the Latin American region & Senior Research Coordinator, IFPRI Links IFPRI Latin America: https://www.ifpri.org/division/latin-america-and-caribbean-lac Instituto Interamericano De Cooperación Para La Agricultura (IICA): https://www.iica.int/en/about-us/main United States Agency For International Development (USAID): https://www.usaid.gov/ More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/la-agricultura-de-las-am%C3%A9ricas-en-el-camino-la-cop-27-desaf%C3%ADos-y-oportunidades-de-la-pol%C3%ADtica Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription


    Ensuring a Focus on Women and Girls in the Global Food Crisis Response Oct 26, 2022
    Show notes

    POLICY SEMINAR Ensuring a Focus on Women and Girls in the Global Food Crisis Response Co-organized by United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Feed the Future Initiative, IFPRI, and the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform OCT 26, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT As the world scrambles to address the global food crisis, proposed measures may fail to meet the specific needs of women and girls and might worsen existing gender inequalities. Crisis responses, such as the provision of fertilizer subsidies or vouchers, are more likely to reach male heads of household. Other measures may add to the already high labor burdens of women and girls. Governments may shift spending away from social programs that support vulnerable women and children. The current crisis is hitting many women and girls at a time when they are already experiencing considerable hardship, following the pandemic and amid intensifying climate change. Yet this crisis presents an opportunity to design gender-responsive programs that buffer women and girls in the short term and tackle entrenched gender inequalities while building resilience to future shocks over the long term. The International Food Policy Research Institute’s Gender, Climate Change, and Nutrition Integration Initiative (GCAN), with support from USAID, recently convened a roundtable of concerned donors, academics, and practitioners and the recommendations were published in a Nature Comment. Please join us for a discussion on how to chart a course toward more resilient and equitable food systems that create more opportunities for women and girls, leading to greater gender equality and greater prosperity for all. Opening Remarks Jennifer Horsfall, RFS Global Food Security manager and Feed the Future Crisis Team Lead, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Recommendations from the Roundtable on Addressing the Gendered Impacts of the Global Food Crisis Elizabeth Bryan, Senior Scientist, IFPRI Perspective from the Ground Hannah Wachira, Champion Farmer, GROOTS, Kenya Panel: Responding to the Gendered Impacts Sahar Alnouri, Senior Director for Gender Equality and Social Inclusion, Mercy Corps Nicole Lefore, Director, Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture in College Station, Texas A&M University Reema Nanavaty, Director, Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) David Laborde Debucquet, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Reflections Nicoline de Haan, Platform Director, CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform Moderator Vivian Atakos, Global Engagement and Policy Specialist, CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform, International Potato Center (CIP) LINKS: More on the seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/ensuring-focus-women-and-girls-global-food-crisis-response Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

    LAUNCH EVENT Tracking and promoting progress on gender equality: Emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities from the 2022 Global Food 5050 Report 2022 Borlaug Dialogue Side Event Co-organized by Global Health 5050, IFPRI, and UN Women OCT 18, 2022 - 8:00 TO 9:30AM EDT Established in the lead-up to the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit, the Global Food 50/50 initiative is a response to stakeholder demands for a global food system that is accountable for progress toward gender equality. This event will mark the launch of the second annual Global Food 50/50 Report, which provides data and analysis on the gender- and equity-related policies and practices of 51 global food system organizations. The Report shines a light on the progress, and lack of progress, made by food organizations in promoting diversity and equality in their leadership and decision-making and in putting gender equality at the heart of their work. This year, in 2022, we complemented our annual leadership analysis with a study of the board members of governing bodies. The data reveals not only gender inequalities in board representation, but that board seats are also dominated by nationals from high-income countries. The Report asserts that this skewed distribution of power and privilege undermines global efforts to reach the Sustainable Development Goals. This launch event seminar will present the report’s findings and explore how this accountability mechanism can empower a movement for more equitable, inclusive organizations across the global food system. Introductory Remarks Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR and Director General, IFPRI (video remarks) Sarah Hendriks, Director for Policy, Programs and Inter Governmental Division, UN Women Results of 2021 Global Food 50/50 Report Jemimah Njuki, Chief, Economic Empowerment, UN Women Sonja Tanaka, Deputy Director, Global Health 50/50 Keynote Address Ambassador Gabriel Ferrero, Chair, Committee on World Food Security Panelists Megha Desai, Senior Coordinator, Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) Martha Nyagaya, Country Director for Kenya, Nutrition International Benjamin Davis, Director, Inclusive Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division, FAO ​​​​​​​Maura Barry, Senior Deputy Assistant to the Administrator, Bureau for Resilience and Food Security, USAID (TBC) Closing Remarks Sarah Hawkes, Co-Founder and Co-Director, Global Health 50/50 Moderator Hazel Malapit, Senior Research Coordinator, IFPRI LINKS: More on the seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/global-food-5050-launch-event Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription


    Globalization and food security: What could 20 years of IFPRI research teach us? Oct 12, 2022
    Show notes

    POLICY SEMINAR Globalization and food security: What could 20 years of IFPRI research teach us? OCT 12, 2022 - 11:00AM TO 12:30PM EDT 2022 has been marked by another global food price crisis, the third in 20 years. As food systems have become more interconnected, the debate around globalization and food security has reemerged. Are we too interconnected? Are multilateral institutions the only way to tackle global challenges that require collective action, or is that belief fading? These questions are not new. This webinar will revisit them through the lens of Antoine Bouet’s work on global and regional trade issues and their intersections with food security outcomes. During Bouet’s 17-year tenure as a Senior Research Fellow at IFPRI, his work informed civil society and policymakers and provided evidence for heated debates, from the intricacies of the global trade talks at the Hong Kong Ministerial Conference in 2005 to the challenges of measuring informal trade flows in West Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. The event will review 20 years of policy questions and associated research in the field of trade and food security. It will reflect on progress and mistakes made during this period, highlighting lessons to guide the research agenda needed to address challenges both old and new. Opening Remarks Johan Swinnen, Managing Director, Systems Transformation, CGIAR and Director General, IFPRI Evolution of debate on global food security and globalization David Laborde Debucquet, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Panel Discussion Tom Hertel, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University Robert Koopman, Hurst Sr Prof Lecturer, School of International Service, American University Sophia Murphy, Executive Director, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy Reflections Antoine Bouet, Former Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Closing Remarks Rob Vos, Director of Markets, Trade and Institutions Division, IFPRI Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI LINKS: More on the seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/globalization-and-food-security-what-could-20-years-ifpri-research-teach-us Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription


    Call for Action to Address the Global Food Security Crisis Oct 05, 2022
    Show notes

    POLICY SEMINAR Call for Action to Address the Global Food Security Crisis OCT 5, 2022 - 9:30 TO 11:00AM EDT The world is facing a potential food crisis worse than any seen since World War II. With Russia’s devastating war on Ukraine, a historic drought and heat wave in China, and an irregular monsoon season in South Asia, food supplies from several of the world’s largest granaries are highly uncertain and concerning. Global hunger has been rising since 2015, and the number of people facing acute, crisis-level food insecurity has doubled to well over 200 million. Famine is threatening the lives of large populations in the Horn of Africa, Yemen, and South Sudan. Already, climate change is compounding the global risks to food security. In response to this “code red for global food systems,” the world community is beginning to coalesce around several action areas set forth by the Declaration of Leaders’ Summit on Global Food Security, the Global Alliance for Food Security (GAFS) convened by the G7 Development Ministers, and the French Initiative for an International Food and Agriculture Resilience Mission (FARM), among others. At the G20 Agriculture Ministers’ Meeting, held in Bali on September 27th, serious concerns were expressed about the global food security situation, but members stopped short of announcing concrete, concerted efforts to address the crisis. This may still come at the joint G20 Agriculture and Finance Ministers’ meeting on October 11, 2022. What can the G20 do to help, and should it play a role in enhancing, strengthening, and coordinating initiatives to help avoid a potential food catastrophe and prevent future threats by making food systems resilient and sustainable? This seminar will address these questions and consider the proposals made by the Task Force on Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture of the Think20 (T20). What can the G20 do to address the global food security crisis?

    The Ukraine crisis: Unraveling the impacts and policy responses in low- and middle- income countries Aug 31, 2022
    Show notes

    The conflict in Ukraine is having widespread deleterious impacts on the economies and food systems of many low- and middle-income countries. Rising prices for food, fuel, and fertilizer have raised pressing concerns about food security and poverty. To better understand the risks in specific countries, IFPRI researchers have modeled the impacts of prices of the fuel, fertilizer, and food price shocks on GDP, employment, poverty, hunger, and diet quality in 19 countries in Africa and Asia, and examined the relative cost effectiveness of different policy interventions. Please join us for a presentation of this work and a discussion on how policymakers and other key actors are addressing the challenges created by this crisis in specific countries. IFPRI’s modeling work on the impacts of the Ukraine crisis is supported by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and benefitted from working with two CGIAR’s research initiatives: Foresight and Metrics and National Policies and Strategies. This is the sixth event in an IFPRI seminar series on Food and Fertilizer Price Trends: Impacts on global food security (https://www.ifpri.org/spotlight/food-fertilizers-and-nutrition-rising-prices-and-global-food-security).
