AKADEMIYA2063, in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), is convening a virtual 2021 ReSAKSS Annual Conference to promote review and dialogue on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on African food systems and policy options to ensure recovery and strengthen resilience to future shocks. The conference will take place virtually on 15–17 November 2021 under the theme of “Building resilient African food systems after COVID-19.”

The objectives of the conference are to allow participants to discuss the research evidence and recommendations presented in the 2021 ATOR on effects of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in African countries; examine methodological issues related to the assessment of the impacts of COVID-19 and the measurement of resilience capacities; identify required actions for effectively rebuilding Africa’s agrifood systems following the COVID-19 pandemic; assess progress in promoting mutual accountability through the CAADP Biennial Review (BR) process; and evaluate the status of CAADP implementation and progress toward achieving key goals and targets.
