The Long-term EU-AU Research and Innovation Partnership for Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (LEAP4FNSSA) is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) financed by EU’s H2020 work programme. The project’s main objective is to provide a tool for European and African institutions to engage in a Sustainable Partnership Platform for research and innovation on Food and Nutrition Security, and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA), supporting the implementation of the 10 years FNSSA RoadMap approved by the EU and the AU in 2016. Work Package 1 of the project provides support and information services to the various structures that govern the bi-regional partnership in FNSSA, and facilitates evidence based decision-making. As part of its critical role, WP1 commissioned two studies to contribute towards a report for the sixth EU-AU Summit in 2020. The objective of this study, on projects funded under the FNSSA partnership, is to provide critical insight and stocktaking on the extent to which ongoing and past projects have contributed to the goals of the partnership in implementing the roadmap. The projects are analysed in terms of their thematic focus, geographic scope, actors involved and alignment with broader regional and international policy objectives and the values of the FNSSA partnership and potential impact. Through a consultative process with relevant partners, 105 projects, which fall under the funding schemes LEAP-Agri, Horizon 2020, DeSIRA, and the African Union Grants Phase 1 and 2 were selected for the study. Data on the projects was obtained from the LEAP4FNSSA projects database and analysed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques.
