Recipes for Success 2: Policy Innovations to Achieve the Kampala Declaration Goals
Global Food and Nutrition Security

Africa’s agrifood systems sit at the center of the continent’s aspirations for food security and improved nutrition, jobs and inclusive agricultural growth, and climate resilience. Adopted in 2025, the Kampala Declaration’s six commitments provide a timely, unifying political framework for “building resilient and sustainable agrifood systems in Africa”—but translating ambition into impact will depend on how countries implement reforms and investments, at scale and over time.
The country experiences reviewed in this report — RECIPES FOR SUCCESS 2: Policy Innovations to Achieve the Kampala Declaration Goals — underscore that achieving the Kampala Declaration targets is attainable, but only through coordinated, large-scale action by governments, the private sector, and development partners. Thus, the lessons for achieving the six Kampala Declaration strategic objectives, that can be drawn from the 70 country case studies presented in the Malabo Montpellier Panel reports, emphasize not only what successful countries have done, but how they have done it—through clearer mandates and coordination, smarter regulation, catalytic public investment, and partnerships that crowd in private initiative.
