Abstract
With urbanisation taking place at a rapid rate and Africa set to cross the threshold into being predominantly urban shortly after 2030, this paper calls for Africa 바카라 사이트� particularly African cities 바카라 사이트� to drive the continent바카라 사이트檚 urban transition agenda. It sets out carefully considered actions required from affected stakeholders in Africa바카라 사이트檚 urban food and nutrition challenge.
This paper is a redrafted call to action that was conceptualised in preparation for discussion at a 2016 Consuming Urban Poverty/African Food Security Urban Network/Hungry Cities Partnership policy workshop. The workshop, on 바카라 사이트淔ood Consumption and Food and Nutrition Security in Africa바카라 사이트檚 Hungry Cities바카라 사이트� was held at the World Nutrition Conference at the School of Public Health, University of the Western Cape, from 29 August to 3 September 2016. Subsequent to input from workshop participants, further input was solicited via targeted social media over a period of 30 days. The call to action and this working paper reflect these inputs and debates. The consultative process reached just over 4,000 people.
This work is part of the 바카라 사이트楪overning Food Systems to Alleviate Poverty in Secondary Cities in Africa바카라 사이트� project and was supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the UK Department for International Development.
