A quickly growing grassroots agroecology movement in Africa is<br>shifting policies, practices, and investments toward climate-friendly food systems. The African<br>agroecology movement is a dynamic ecosystem, composed of thousands of associations, cooperatives,<br>networks, policy makers and academics working to decolonize Africa&#8217;s food systems and regenerate<br>Africa&#8217;s soils weakened by overuse of chemical inputs and failed Green Revolution policies. The<br>Regional Agroecology Funds in Africa are financing and learning tools to support agroecology<br>networks and organizations across the two regions. The funds will be co-managed by TrustAfrica and<br>the Agroecology Fund.<br>The Funds will:<br>\u25cf Offer donors a simple way to fund grassroots organizations, networks, and emerging enterprises<br>that are critical to scaling agroecology up and out across Africa.<br>\u25cf Ensure that organizations representing Indigenous Peoples, women, and youth receive the<br>support they need to advance agroecology and uphold their rights.<br>\u25cf Support grantee organizations in monitoring their progress against sought outcomes<br>\u25cf Contribute to regional learning, and to knowledge generation and exchanges, to deepen<br>grassroots evidence for agroecology, and to adjust and improve strategies for scaling up<br>agroecology.<br>\u201cTrust Africa has a strong record of seeding and nurturing new, leading<br>organizations, voices and networks and anchoring collaborative processes and<br>movement building to find solutions to critical questions that can advance a<br>progressive continental development agenda. Agroecology is one such critical<br>solution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dr. Ebrima Sall, Executive Director, TrustAfrica<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a unique participatory philanthropic model that relies on guidance from grassroots African<br>advisors, experts in the field and embedded in agroecology movements, the funds will provide<br>resources to highly effective practitioners, scientists, and movement builders working across the<br>continent to achieve equitable and sustainable food systems. The core business of the Funds is to<br>support an ecosystem of collaborating African grassroots organizations and networks to transform food<br>systems through agroecology.<br>\u201cThe African agroecology movement is so dynamic and creative. We are thrilled<br>to team up with TrustAfrica to provide support to a movement that lies at the<br>heart of a sustainable and equitable future for Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tabara Ndiaye, Agroecology Fund African Regional Funds Coordinator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Funds have been capitalized by philanthropic organizations both large and small, from the Ikea<br>Foundation to the 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>th Hour Project. With agroecology increasingly embraced as a critical solution to<br>multiple challenges that Africa is facing, the funds are expected to grow quickly. Territorial-based<br>approaches to funding is a key Agroecology Fund strategy, and the Africa Funds are the third and<br>fourth regional funds to launch in the last four years. The first was in Mexico in 2020 and the second in<br>India in 2022. Regional funds give bilateral and multilateral agencies, as well as private philanthropists,<br>an opportunity to support hard-to-reach grassroots work and to jointly fund inclusive and rights-based<br>initiatives rooted in agroecology principles that support impacts as diverse as food security, food<br>sovereignty, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience. This approach will transform global food<br>systems.<br>Please contact Daniel Moss, Co-Director, at daniel@agroecologyfund.org or Bethule Nyamambi,<br>Programme Manager, at nyamambi@trustafrica.org if you\u2019re interested in becoming a donor of these<br>funds or to learn more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 22, 2024 TrustAfrica and the Agroecology Fund announce a new partnership to launch Regional AgroecologyFunds in West and Eastern Africa.Agroecology, recognized in most parts of the world as a climate and hunger solution, is gainingtraction in Africa and worldwide.
