    A Report and Guidelines on the Operationalisation of the PANAP Website and Knowledge Platform
    (FARA, 2026-05) FARA, JRC, ACU, CORAF, CSIR Ghana, EU
    This report presents the operationalisation framework, technical architecture, and implementation guidelines for the PANAP Website and Knowledge Platform developed under the StEPPFoS project. The platform constitutes a federated and interoperable digital infrastructure designed to support evidence-based policymaking, research collaboration, knowledge exchange, and stakeholder engagement within the AU–EU Food and Nutrition Security and Sustainable Agriculture (FNSSA) Partnership. Initially developed within the European Commission Joint Research Centre’s DataM environment, the PANAP platform has been expanded and integrated into FARA’s institutional digital infrastructure through the StEPPFoS Website and Knowledge Platform. The system links multiple complementary digital services, including FARADataInformS, ColabNet, AARIISpace, and external learning platforms, creating a coordinated knowledge ecosystem that supports modelling, policy analysis, training, collaboration, and long-term institutional sustainability. The report documents the platform’s architecture, operational features, interoperability design, governance arrangements, and integration strategy. It highlights the federated approach adopted under WP3, which enables coordinated access to distributed knowledge systems while maintaining institutional mandates, data governance standards, FAIR principles, and GDPR compliance. The publication further outlines achievements, stakeholder engagement activities, planned interoperability enhancements, and future scaling opportunities for supporting regional policy networks and continental research initiatives across Africa and Europe.

    Africa Manifesto and Plan of Action on Forgotten Foods
    (FARA, 2021) FARA, GFAR, CAADXP4
    The Africa Manifesto and Plan of Action on Forgotten Foods presents a continental framework for promoting the production, utilization, conservation, and commercialization of forgotten foods in Africa. The document argues that Africa's increasing food insecurity is linked to an overreliance on a limited number of staple crops and the gradual abandonment of traditional food systems. Forgotten foods are identified as valuable resources with significant nutritional, medicinal, economic, cultural, and environmental benefits that can contribute to food security, poverty reduction, climate resilience, and sustainable livelihoods. The manifesto highlights the limited research, policy attention, extension support, and market development devoted to forgotten foods and calls for coordinated action among governments, research institutions, development partners, private sector actors, and farming communities. It proposes strategic interventions including awareness creation, research and innovation, participatory breeding, sustainable seed systems, conservation of genetic resources, market development, capacity strengthening, policy advocacy, curriculum integration, and resource mobilization. The document serves as both a policy advocacy instrument and a strategic roadmap for integrating forgotten foods into Africa’s agricultural transformation agenda, while contributing to the achievement of food and nutrition security, climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development goals.

    (AFAAS, 2026) AFAAS, UFAAS
    This publication documents the proceedings, discussions, and policy recommendations emerging from the Uganda National Agricultural Extension Week 2026 (UGNAEW2026), held under the theme “Unlocking Uganda’s Agricultural Potential: Multi-actor Extension and Advisory Services for Resilient, Digital and Market-Oriented Food Systems.” The proceedings focus on strengthening Agricultural Extension and Advisory Services (AEAS) in Uganda through private sector-led approaches, digital transformation, agroecology, professionalization, and market-oriented service delivery. The report synthesizes keynote presentations, policy dialogues, thematic sessions, case studies, workshops, and stakeholder consultations involving government institutions, research organizations, extension practitioners, farmer organizations, development partners, and private sector actors. It identifies systemic challenges affecting Uganda’s extension ecosystem, including fragmented coordination, weak regulatory frameworks, inadequate professionalization, limited digital integration, insufficient market orientation, and low private sector incentives. The proceedings conclude with comprehensive policy recommendations aimed at repositioning extension systems as market-driven, digitally enabled, professionalized, and partnership-based systems capable of supporting resilient and competitive agrifood systems in Uganda.
