Implications of the content of recent European Union and African Union policy documents on the Food Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA) Roadmap

The Joint Africa-Europe Strategy (JAES) developed in 2007 by the 2nd EU-Africa Summit provides a framework for the partnership between Africa and Europe. The JAES defined collaboration to address issues such as climate change, global security and sustainable development. It leverages African potential for fast growth while acknowledging that Europe is the largest African investment and sustainable development partner. The JAES is implemented through Multiannual Roadmaps and Action Plans developed and updated at subsequent Summits. Expert groups have been established to oversee and provide technical and political guidance for the implementation of the Roadmaps and Action Plans. The Roadmap towards a jointly funded EU-Africa Research & Innovation Partnership on Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA), launched in 2016, for a duration of 10 years.
