This report highlights the latest data on undernourishment, food insecurity and malnutrition, as well as the cost and affordability of a healthy diet, reflecting people's economic access to nutritious food. The worsening food security and slow progress towards global nutrition targets demand increased efforts to achieve a world without hunger and malnutrition by 2030. Given the projected lower economic growth, high inflation, and rising borrowing costs since 2022, greater action is necessary.
Financing for agrifood systems transformation in Africa should provide the financial resources that contribute to the eradication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms. The recent setbacks in achieving these objectives have exposed the vulnerability of agrifood systems in Africa and underscored the urgent need for greater financing towards a resilient agrifood system in the continent, the focus of this year’s report. The findings call for urgent actions and increased financing for a sustainable transformation of agrifood systems in Africa for ending hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition.
