1. Transformation of Africa’s agriculture begins with us - All relevant stakeholder groups need to change: · Donor agencies and development partners need to change their investment priorities and strategies.· Governments should institutionalize an efficient and effective policy implementation culture, characterized by review of existing policies to ensure that they are pro-smallholder farmers, women, children and youth. · Participatory research processes should be adopted to ensure that the voice of the smallholder farmers, women and youth is heard, to facilitate for the co-creation of solutions.· Private sector should collaborate with civil society and government to develop innovative financing mechanisms to support the agriculture value chains. · Farmers should accelerate adoption of new climate-smart technologies and practices which are gender and nutrition-sensitive.· Youth should proactively claim their space and drive innovation for agriculture transformation.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/connectingminds/support
