Item Validated Terms of Reference for the Pan-African Network for the Analysis of Economic Policies (PANAP)(FARA, 2026-05) FARA, JRC, PANAP, AUC, EUThis publication presents the validated Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Pan-African Network for the Analysis of Economic Policies (PANAP), developed under Work Package 7 of the StEPPFoS project. The TOR establishes the governance framework, operational principles, membership structures, and coordination mechanisms guiding the PANAP network in advancing evidence-based economic policy analysis for sustainable agri-food systems across Africa. The document defines PANAP’s mission, objectives, priority thematic areas, membership categories, governance arrangements, collaboration principles, and operational procedures. It provides institutional guidance for strengthening cooperation between African and European research institutions, policymakers, regional organisations, and development partners engaged in economic analysis of agricultural and food system policies. Developed through a consultative validation process led by FARA and the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC), the TOR reflects contributions from PANAP members, AU and EU institutions, and regional organizations. It aligns PANAP’s activities with major continental and international policy frameworks, including Agenda 2063, the Malabo Declaration, the AU-EU Innovation Agenda, the FNSSA Partnership Roadmap, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The TOR establishes PANAP as a collaborative platform for policy modelling, knowledge sharing, capacity strengthening, and research-policy engagement, thereby enhancing Africa’s institutional capacity for data-driven and evidence-informed policymaking.Item Foresight4Food Criteria to Assess High-Quality Food Systems Foresight in Africa(Foresight4Food, 2026-02-26) Foresight4Food, FARA, ECI OxfordThe Foresight4Food Criteria for High Quality Guide (February 2026) provides a structured framework outlining standards and benchmarks for defining, assessing, and ensuring high-quality outputs, processes, or initiatives under the Foresight4Food framework.
