Application deadline: Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EAT

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) invites qualified consultants to apply for an assignment to synthesise country studies and a desk review on the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) among young people in Africa.

The consultancy supports the work of AFSA’s Youth and Agroecology Working Group, which is developing a continental youth campaign promoting healthier, locally produced and agroecologically produced foods. AFSA and its partners are conducting participatory studies in Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and Togo, alongside a youth-led review of relevant research, policies, regulatory frameworks and international experiences concerning UPFs.

The selected consultant will review and integrate the findings from the four country studies and the desk review into a coherent, evidence-based Continental Background Study. The assignment will identify common themes, differences and emerging patterns; integrate qualitative and quantitative evidence; and develop clear recommendations and messages to inform the continental campaign.

Key deliverables will include an inception note, evidence synthesis matrix, presentation of preliminary findings, draft and final Continental Background Study, and a campaign evidence and messaging brief. The assignment is expected to be completed within two weeks of contract signing.

Applicants should hold a postgraduate qualification in social sciences, public health, nutrition, agriculture, food systems, development studies or a related field. They should demonstrate strong experience in research synthesis, mixed-methods analysis, report writing and food systems or related issues. Knowledge of youth and food systems and experience translating research into policy advocacy or campaign messages will be particularly valuable.

How to apply

Interested consultants should submit:

• A brief technical proposal;
• A proposed work plan and timeline;
• A financial proposal in USD;
• An updated CV;
• Evidence of relevant previous assignments; and
• At least two relevant references.

Applications must be emailed to afsa@afsafrica.org by Sunday, 20 September 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EAT, with the subject line:

“Consultancy Services for the UPF Synthesis”

Requests for clarification may be submitted to afsa@afsafrica.org before 15 September 2026.

The Pan-African Parliament (PAP), through its Committee on Rural Economy, Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment, in partnership with the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), invites applications from qualified individual consultants to develop the Legal and Policy Framework Paper for the Model Law on African Food Systems.

The proposed Model Law will help establish a coherent continental framework for African food systems, bringing together issues relating to agriculture, nutrition, environment, land, trade and consumer protection. It will place agroecology, food sovereignty and the rights of food producers at the centre of how food is produced, traded and consumed across Africa.

The Lead Consultant will prepare the Legal and Policy Framework Paper, an annotated outline of the proposed Model Law, and a roadmap for the subsequent drafting and consultation process. The consultant will also provide technical support to a Pan-African Parliament Committee workshop. The assignment is an individual consultancy requiring 25 consultancy days.

Applicants must have an advanced degree in law, at least ten years of relevant professional experience, and demonstrated expertise in legislative drafting, public policy and African food, agriculture, environment, land or natural-resources law.

How to apply

A common continental voice from farmers, pastoralists, women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, fisherfolk and faith leaders in more than 30 countries, charting the road to COP31 and COP32

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA, September 9, 2026 — African civil society organisations and movements from more than 30 countries today issued the Addis Ababa Declaration of an African Civil Society Position on Climate Action in Food Systems and Agriculture, closing a three-day Continental Convening hosted by the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) in partnership with the Ethiopian Ministry of Planning and Development. Representing farmers’ and pastoralists’ organisations, women’s, children’s and youth networks, people living with special needs, faith-based organisations, Indigenous Peoples, fisherfolk, researchers and academia, alongside government and inter-governmental representatives, delegates affirmed a shared conviction: Africa’s climate future cannot be separated from its food future, and decisions about that future must be shaped by the people who produce, trade, prepare and consume food.

The Declaration names four persistent gaps that must define the road to COP31 and COP32: between ambition and implementation, between adaptation needs and available finance, between pledged and delivered climate finance, and between global rules and the daily realities of people on the front line. Smallholder farmers, delegates were clear, do not experience climate change as an “implementation gap” or a negotiating acronym, they experience crop loss, water stress, declining soil fertility, livestock stress, rising debt, hunger and falling income. The Declaration places agroecology, as a science, practice and social movement, at the centre of Africa’s own pathway to resilience and food sovereignty.

Civil society sets out six key demands for COP31 and COP32:

1. Put adaptation, agriculture and food security at the centre of implementation, treating adaptation as a political priority equal to mitigation and renewing the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work on Agriculture and Food Security to move from knowledge exchange to delivery.
2. Make climate finance accessible, grant-based and locally accountable, closing the gap behind the USD 300 billion annual finance goal set at COP29, with expanded direct-access windows for smallholder farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk, and women’s and youth enterprises.
3. Fund African-led agroecology and seed sovereignty, through public investment in community seed banks, soil and ecosystem restoration, water harvesting, Indigenous foods and knowledge, and local markets.
4. Support a people-centred just transition that is bottom-up and farmer-centred, protecting land and seed rights and rejecting prescriptive pathways that shift costs onto smallholder farmers, pastoralists and fisherfolk.
5. Make nutrition, health, gender and pastoralism visible in climate implementation, measuring resilience by dietary quality, health and dignity, not yields alone, with explicit attention to pastoral land tenure and rangeland protection, and to women’s access to land, finance and decision-making.
6. Build an African accountability architecture from Addis to communities, aligning national climate and development plans and budgets, and publishing regular reports and data on climate finance promised, approved, disbursed and delivered.

As a movement, African civil society commits to coordinate around a shared set of demands, connect community realities to national, continental and UNFCCC processes, create space for the meaningful participation of frontline communities, mobilise public and grant-based finance for African-led solutions, and communicate publicly on promises, finance and outcomes.

“Africa’s food systems cannot remain in the shadows of global climate action, they are central to our adaptation, livelihoods, economies, health, cultures, biodiversity, sovereignty and future,” the Declaration states. Its test for both COPs is not the number of declarations adopted, but whether a farmer can withstand the next failed rainy season, whether a pastoralist can access water and grazing without losing a livelihood, and whether a child can grow up nourished rather than stunted by drought.

Civil society calls on African governments, Parties to the UNFCCC, the COP31 and COP32 Presidencies, the African Union, the African Group of Negotiators, climate funds, development partners, research institutions and responsible private actors to work with African civil society and frontline communities to deliver a decisive shift from promises to implementation.

“Africa must not wait for its food and climate future to be designed elsewhere. Our evidence must influence decisions, our solutions must be recognised, and climate finance must reach the people and places where adaptation is already happening.”

AFSA is set to open its Continental Convening on Strengthening African Civil Society Climate Action on Food Systems and Agriculture Towards COP31 and COP32, bringing farmers, pastoralists, government officials and policymakers from across the continent together in Addis Ababa

ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA — September 7, 2026 — The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), the continent’s largest civil society movement working on food systems, food sovereignty and agroecology, is set to open today its Continental Convening on Strengthening African Civil Society Climate Action on Food Systems and Agriculture Towards COP31 and COP32. Organised by AFSA in collaboration with the Ethiopian Ministry of Planning and Development, the three-day gathering runs from September 7 to 9, 2026, at the Inter Luxury Hotel in Addis Ababa, and is shaping up to be one of the continent’s most significant climate convenings this year, bringing together farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk, indigenous communities, youth and women’s networks, researchers, negotiators, government officials and policymakers from across Africa.

Government officials and policymakers are integral participants in the Convening, not merely guests at its opening. The programme’s official opening features H.E. Dr. Fitsum Assefa, Ethiopia’s Minister for Planning and Development, delivering the official opening address, alongside remarks from H.E. Demeke Mekonnen, Nutrition Ambassador and former Deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia. A keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN). Government representatives continue to participate alongside civil society throughout the three days, including a dedicated Day Two panel with government representatives on national priorities for COP31 and COP32.

Addis Ababa carries particular weight for this gathering: the city is set to host COP32, bringing the United Nations Climate Change Conference back to African soil once again. This Convening marks the formal start of AFSA’s process to build a unified African position, bringing civil society and government together, ahead of COP31 and laying the groundwork for COP32, developed by the communities already living the climate crisis and advancing the solutions.

Over three days, delegates, government representatives and policymakers will address the issues shaping Africa’s climate future together: adaptation and the Global Goal on Adaptation, climate finance, a Just Transition for the continent, and agriculture’s place within the UNFCCC process. Agroecology will sit at the center of the discussions, reflecting a decade of evidence from across Africa that farmer-led, ecologically grounded food systems are not a fallback option but a credible pathway to cooling the planet, restoring degraded land, and feeding communities with dignity. The Convening builds on AFSA’s Agroecology4Climate Action campaign, running continentally since 2019 under AFSA’s Climate Change and Agroecology Working Group.

“For too long, Africa’s response to the climate crisis has been shaped far from the communities who live it every day. This Convening is Africa defining its own terms of engagement, grounded in the knowledge of the farmers, pastoralists and indigenous communities who are already building the solutions. Agroecology is not a fallback; it is Africa’s most credible pathway to a just and livable future, and it will be at the center of what we carry from Addis Ababa to COP32.”

— Dr. Million Belay, AFSA General Coordinator

“Africa cannot afford another climate process where our voices arrive only after the decisions have been made. Over these three days, we are building a unified continental position, rooted in agroecology and in the lived realities of the people who feed this continent, so that our negotiators walk into COP 31 AND COP32 carrying the mandate of Africa’s own communities.”

— Karen Nekesa, AFSA Climate Change and Agroecology Working Group Chair

The Convening will close with a unified African civil society position and a coordinated roadmap toward COP32. AFSA is inviting media, partners and the public to follow proceedings live across its Social Media Channelschannels on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and YouTube, and to join the conversation using #Agroecology4Climate, #AfricaClimateConvening, #COP31 and #COP32.

"This man lived fully and happily. He strongly believed he could transform the world—and he did.”

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) and our entire community are shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Sena Alouka, Executive Director of Jeunes Volontaires pour l’Environnement (JVE-Togo) and founding Chair of AFSA’s Climate and Agroecology Working Group.

AFSA Chair Reverend Thomas Tolbert Jallah said: “Sena was a mentor, an inspiration and a guide—one of the pillars upon which AFSA was built. On behalf of the young people he called his children, the farmers whose soil he fought to protect, the fisherfolk whose rivers he defended and the pastoralists whose lands he held sacred, we mourn him with broken hearts.”

Sena often told us that his name meant “Gift from God.” His mother, Davé, had prayed for a daughter and received instead a son who would go on to mother a continent. He was indeed a gift. For more than two decades, he devoted himself to Africa’s environment, climate, biodiversity, food and culture—and, above all, to its young people, calling generation after generation to rise, learn and lead.

His life’s work began with a fire on a mountain above his childhood village of Kpélé Tsiko in 1999. The whole community went out to fight it, returning with burned cassava and yams in their hands—and something new burning within Sena. From those ashes, with neither money nor a map, he founded Young Volunteers for the Environment. What began with children raising tree seedlings in a small Togolese village grew into one of Africa’s largest youth-led environmental movements, now rooted in more than thirty countries.

“Sena Alouka was a rare kind of leader. He breathed life back into youth volunteerism and activism for Africa’s environment, biodiversity, culture and indigenous knowledge at a time when few believed young people could lead this fight. He was instrumental in starting AFSA’s Agroecology and Climate Working Group, and he was the one who insisted, again and again, that we create a Youth Working Group of our own. He was a driving force for change, always seeking new opportunities, expanding the frontiers of possibility for Africa’s youth and shifting mindsets towards a proactive, impactful life. His loss leaves a huge gap in youth activism across this continent—a grief we feel deeply today. But his legacy will not be buried with him. We will carry it forward and ensure that it is celebrated for as long as this movement lives.”  — Dr Million Belay, General Coordinator, AFSA

An unrelenting Pan-Africanist, Sena drew strength from Africa’s liberation leaders and carried the continent’s history with extraordinary passion. He understood that a movement without memory is a movement without direction, and he constantly reminded young people that Africa’s unfinished struggle for dignity was now theirs to carry forward.

His influence reached far beyond Togo. He chaired the Climate and Agroecology Working Group of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa; served as facilitator of CAN International’s Energy Working Group; and was a strategic advisor to the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, a trustee of the African Biodiversity Network and Global Coordinator of Ashoka Africa’s ICON nutrition programme—all while serving as patron of the Young Environmental Negotiators Academy and mentoring the very generation he now leaves to carry the torch. In 2014, Ashoka named him a Fellow among the world’s changemakers, twelve years after the IUCN–Reuters Award first recognised his voice as a young environmental journalist. But he had already been a changemaker as a teenager, when he built a community radio station from a car battery and scrap metal on a tin roof and called it Radio Hakuna Matata.

Sena also stood at the birth of YOUNGO, the official youth constituency of the United Nations climate negotiations. After finding himself the only Francophone African at a meeting in Montreal in 2005, he resolved that it would never happen again. The following year, he helped establish the African Youth Initiative on Climate Change and went on to guide generations of young Africans into international policy spaces from which they had long been excluded. There is hardly a young African climate leader today who does not owe some part of their path to his hand at their back.

Sena was that rare breed of leader whose actions were as forceful as his words—an electrifying advocate who spoke boldly yet acted with equal resolve, turning conviction into reality. His organising helped Togo reject a national energy law that would have entrenched coal and nuclear power and become the first country in the world to ban glyphosate. Long before agroecology became widely known, he championed it as an inherently African wisdom inherited from our ancestors. He persisted until it became part of Togo’s national strategy—not because he claimed to have invented it, but because he refused to let the world forget that it was already ours.

Those who knew Sena will remember a character larger than life—a man who wore his passion on his sleeve and whose commanding presence could fill a room. His speeches were positive and lively, sometimes loud and bold, but never, ever dull. He was known for his distinctive humour, his gift for storytelling and his truly captivating personality. Yet behind that smiling, luminous face lived a quieter seriousness: a fiercely pragmatic activist who could galvanise, mobilise, organise and lead with a fire that made every single moment matter.

Sena wanted one line carved on his tombstone: “This man lived fully and happily. He strongly believed he could transform the world—and he did.”

A forest does not fall silent when one great tree comes down. It grows around the space left behind—and it remembers. We are that forest.

Rest now, Papa Sena, in the soil you spent a lifetime restoring. We will keep alive the fire you lit. We will keep planting, even the trees whose fruit we may never live to eat, exactly as you taught us.

Sena—Gift from God—thank you for being ours.

With broken hearts and unbroken resolve,

Rest in peace, Papa Sena.

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is launching Finding the Story, a three part online media series for African journalists who want to report on food systems with greater depth and confidence. Convened under the My Food Is African campaign, the series pairs participants with agroecology specialists, policy advocates and movement leaders to explore what is really at stake in African food systems, and how to recognise a story worth telling.

Twenty places are open to practising journalists based in Africa, working in print, online, radio, television or multimedia, who can attend all three one hour sessions and are comfortable in English and French. Sessions run online on Monday 21, Wednesday 23 and Friday 25 September 2026, covering agroecology, seed and land rights, and the money behind African food systems. Selected journalists receive a reference materials pack, a certificate, and a USD 150 stipend on completion.

Applications close Wednesday 9 September 2026. Send your details, two work samples and a 300 word motivation statement to afsa@afsafrica.org with the subject line “Finding the Story Application.”

After three days of dialogue among 187 delegates from 20 countries, the Second Congo Basin Convening closes with a declaration that puts numbers, deadlines and a mandate behind its demands

Yaoundé, Cameroon — 27 August 2026. The Second Congo Basin Convening has closed in Yaoundé with the adoption of the Yaoundé Declaration 2026, a 24-point regional pact on agroecology, food systems, biodiversity and climate justice in the Congo Basin. Over three days, 187 delegates from 20 countries — governments, farmers’ and pastoralists’ organisations, Indigenous Peoples, women’s and youth movements, researchers, parliamentarians, regional institutions, funding partners and media — worked through the progress made since the first Convening in Kinshasa in 2023 and turned it into a single, shared document. The official closure was pronounced by H.E. Mounouna Foutsou, Cameroon’s Minister of Youth Affairs and Civic Education, represented by Dr Akede Metounge Erik, who received the Declaration on the Minister’s behalf and committed to sharing it with the relevant government ministries.

The Declaration does not deal in vague aspiration. It calls on governments and the African Union Commission to name agroecology explicitly in national and regional agriculture investment plans, with at least 30 percent of relevant budget allocations dedicated to it. It demands that community and customary land rights be secured, that free, prior and informed consent apply without exception to conservation and extractive projects, and that farmer-managed seed systems be protected in law. It urges the Green Climate Fund, the African Development Bank and other financing partners to open direct-access windows so that at least 20 percent of climate and biodiversity finance reaches farmer organisations, women, youth, Indigenous Peoples and local communities directly — and it calls for a dedicated regional financing mechanism for agroecology, so the transition no longer runs on project cycles.

Alongside these calls to decision-makers, the Declaration binds its own signatories to action: farmer and community movements commit to seed banks and farmer-to-farmer training; civil society to a permanent cross-basin consultation space; governments to public annual reporting on what has been allocated and delivered; regional bodies to harmonised policy and cross-border trade; researchers, private-sector actors and media each to their own stated commitments. To carry it forward, the Convening adopted a Congo Basin Regional Action Roadmap and mandated the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) to raise funding for the implementation of the Congo Basin Biodiversity, Climate and Agroecology Initiative (COBCAI) and to host the regional coordination unit, while each of the six Congo Basin countries establishes or strengthens its own national platform. Progress will be published annually and reviewed, call by call and commitment by commitment, at the Third Congo Basin Convening.

Four voices marked the closing session. Elisabeth Atangana, President of CNOP-CAM and Treasurer of the AFSA Board, begged the participants to repeatedly ask themselves: “What part of the Declaration depends on me?” The history of the Basin, she said, will be written by those who turn commitments into action, not by those who make the finest speeches.

Dr Million Belay, AFSA’s General Coordinator, reminded delegates how the region is read from outside: a carbon sink, and a place to extract minerals. Seventy-five percent of the world’s cobalt comes from Congo. The entire energy transition rests on it, which puts the people of the Basin at the centre of the global climate conversation. “We need resources, we need money,” he said. “But when we come back, we will do the work, whether there is money or not.”

Baba Adama, for the AFSA Citizens’ Working Group, argued that Yaoundé had strengthened the bridge between governments, communities and partners, and that protecting the Basin is everyone’s job. Dr Akede Metounge Erik closed with the line that may define what comes next: “Ecosystems do not negotiate. They regenerate or degrade.”

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) invites applications from qualified African researchers to support the first phase of the African Food Baskets initiative. Ten Country Researchers will be selected—one from each participating country—to document the foods, dishes, beverages, recipes, food sources, menus, stories, proverbs and cultural knowledge that shape their country’s food heritage.

The initiative forms part of the TAFS Project, funded by Sida, and contributes to AFSA’s My Food Is African campaign. It aims to preserve and promote African food knowledge while building a continental resource for advocacy, research, education, communication and policy engagement.

The first phase will cover ten countries, selected to ensure regional balance across Africa and representation of Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone contexts. The final list of participating countries will be determined after the applications have been reviewed.

Using the African Food Baskets KoboToolbox Toolkit, selected researchers will work with communities and local knowledge holders to document their country’s food basket. The assignment will include community engagement, field data collection, photography, validation of findings, and submission of a complete country data package and brief narrative report.

Applications must be submitted to afsa@afsafrica.org by 6 September 2026 and may be submitted in English, French or Portuguese.

Please refer to the full Terms of Reference (TOR) for details on the scope of work, eligibility criteria, deliverables, timeline, selection process and application requirements.

AFSA and partners launch a three-day gathering to advance agroecology, food sovereignty, biodiversity and climate justice across the Congo Basin

Yaoundé, Cameroon — 25 August 2026 — The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), together with the Concertation Nationale des Organisations Paysannes au Cameroun (CNOP-CAM) and Congo Basin partners, today officially opens the Second Congo Basin Convening — “Securing the Heart of Africa: People, Nature, Food and Climate Resilience” — running from 25 to 27 August 2026 at the Franco Hôtel in Yaoundé.

Three years after the inaugural Congo Basin Summit in Kinshasa, DRC (August 2023), this second gathering brings together an estimated 120 delegates from the six Congo Basin countries — Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea — alongside representatives from Angola, Chad, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia. Governments, farmer organisations, Indigenous Peoples, women’s and youth movements, researchers, financial partners and civil society will spend three days reviewing progress since Kinshasa and charting a shared regional roadmap for inclusive agroecology, sustainable food systems, biodiversity conservation and climate justice.

The Convening will be officially opened by His Excellency Gabriel Mbaïrobe, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Cameroon, whose government graciously agreed to host the gathering. Ahead of today’s opening, the AFSA delegation briefed the Minister on the Convening’s preparations and final agenda, and thanked the Government of Cameroon for its support.

Day One brings the region’s story into focus. Dr Million Belay, General Coordinator of AFSA, will introduce the Alliance’s continental work; Joséphine Atangana, AFSA’s Focal Point for the Congo Basin, will assess the achievements of the past three years and outline what this Convening aims to deliver; and Elisabeth Atangana, President of CNOP-CAM and Treasurer of the AFSA Board of Directors, will deliver welcome remarks ahead of the Minister’s official opening address. The day continues with plenary sessions on ecological resilience and the Congo Basin’s financing needs, a community agroecology exhibition, and a Cameroonian cultural dinner in the evening.

“Agroecology represents an alternative that promotes biodiversity, nourishes the soil, respects indigenous and local knowledge, and strengthens local economies,” says Dr Million Belay, AFSA’s General Coordinator.

Over the following two days, delegates will work through thematic sessions on land rights, climate justice and resource mobilisation, before adopting the Yaoundé 2026 Declaration and a regional action roadmap on 27 August.

About AFSA The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is the continent’s largest civil society platform advocating for food sovereignty and agroecology, uniting 48 member alliances active in 50 African countries and reaching more than 200 million people.
