Agreement, such as the Koroniyia Joint Work on Agriculture and other relevant commitments to support countries deliver on their NDCs.


5.Enhancing support for women in addressing food and nutrition security at national and local levels. Further attention could be placed on better capturing women’s contributions. Efforts could also focus on approaches to reach, benefit and empower women and systematic sex-disaggregated reporting on relevant indicators could be conducted by the EU and its Member States.


6.Accelerating work on a results chain and common indicators to monitor progress and outcomes at an aggregated level. There would be merit in showing how the EU contributes to achieve SDG2 targets. Knowledge and guidance on measuring impact need to be suitable for use by all, including the private sector.


7.Enhancing agricultural national and regional research capacities conducive to innovation through partnerships. This effort could promote development-smart innovation in agriculture in particular through capacity development and partnerships, such as Development-Smart Innovation through Research in Agriculture (DeSIRA).


8.Further anchoring rural youth employment in policy dialogue and investment in the creation of jobs and training opportunities and ensuring youth is reflected in policy and projects at all stages. Efforts made by EU Member States, as well as through the External Investment Plan and the Trust Fund for Africa, should be further pursued and scaled up, linking to G20 initiatives where relevant.


9.Promoting regional agricultural trade by supporting existing efforts towards a sustainable food systems approach. This includes linking farmers to markets, upholding human and labour rights as well as protecting the rights of local communities by applying the principles for responsible agricultural investment and implementing the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests.


10.Working jointly with all legitimate actors in the food system on enhancing global institutions and processes to guide the sustainable transformation of food systems by reinforcing cooperation and coherence, as well as strengthening evidence-based action.

It is worth noting that many Member States have disbursed additional funds well above the total amounts recorded here. However, for the purpose of this report, only disbursements above EUR 100,000 are reflected. Moreover, across the EU and its Member States, there are different methodologies for reporting. The figures reported in this report solely reflect the specific methodology for this exercise.
