Challenge
Africa's food systems face increasing pressure from climate change, underinvestment, and fragmented value chains, all of which threaten food security, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods.
Solution
The initiative develops investment-ready materials including food system strategies and costed value chain plans. It mobilizes investment through global showcases and SME financing, plus implementation support via capacity building and analytics.
Impact
By aligning climate, nutrition, and economic outcomes, the Catalyst is helping build food systems that are more regenerative, productive, and inclusive.
