Summary
This 2025 policy brief from the Food and Land Use Coalition addresses the financing gap in African food systems transformation. The report synthesises key barriers to capital deployment and proposes frameworks intended to attract both public and private investment toward outcomes in sustainability, resilience, and nutrition. While positioned as practical guidance for policymakers and institutional investors, the empirical evidence base and quantitative validation of proposed mechanisms are not confirmed from available metadata.
Regional applicability
This report focuses specifically on African food systems and investment landscapes, and is likely most directly applicable to policymakers, development financiers, and institutional investors operating in African markets. Transferability to United Kingdom policy or practice contexts would be limited, although the investment frameworks and lessons on catalysing private capital may be of interest to UK development finance institutions and NGOs working on African food systems.
