The African Food Systems Transformation Collective (AFSTC) is a network of researchers and food systems development experts that informs philanthropies, governments, and development finance organisations on funding strategies to support transitions toward sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems across Africa. This Brief Series upholds a high standard of evidence-informed recommendations, each rigorously reviewed by peers within the Collective, including fellow researchers and members of the advisory committee. The AFSTC is an initiative of the African Climate Foundation.
