Item Mapping Existing Policies/Projects/Programmes of the PANAP Network: Assessing Institutional Collaboration, Funding Focus, Economic Data and Modelling Tools(FARA, 2026-05) FARAThis report presents a comprehensive mapping of policies, projects, and programmes implemented by institutions within and outside the PANAP network under the StEPPFoS initiative. Using cross-sectional online surveys, desk reviews, and social network analysis, the study assesses institutional collaboration patterns, thematic focus areas, funding mechanisms, economic data usage, and modelling practices across African Union (AU) and European Union (EU) institutions. The findings show that most projects focus on food systems, agroecology, climate resilience, food security, and poverty reduction, reflecting priorities within EU–AU development cooperation frameworks. The report identifies strong engagement from African institutions, particularly in West and East Africa, but highlights disparities in institutional capacity, policy integration, and long-term project sustainability. It further demonstrates the importance of regional and international collaboration, institutional alignment with mandates, and evidence-based policymaking for sustainable food systems transformation in Africa.
