    PANAP CSA MEL Framework Narrative Report
    (FARA, 2026-05) FARA, ACU, PANAP, EU, JRC
    This report presents the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Framework Narrative Report for the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies (PANAP), developed under the StEPPFoS project. The framework establishes structures, methods, and processes for monitoring progress, evaluating performance, and enabling adaptive learning to strengthen science-policy interfaces (SPIs) across Africa’s agrifood systems. Grounded in developmental evaluation and systems thinking, the framework supports adaptive and participatory learning through single-, double-, and triple-loop reflection mechanisms. Core components include a Participatory Theory of Change (ToC) and Dynamic Learning Agendas (DLAs), which facilitate collaboration among policymakers, researchers, funders, and food system actors to co-identify barriers, co-design solutions, and improve policy-research coordination in complex policy environments. The framework positions PANAP as a learning network that advances evidence-informed and transformative food system policies through systems-oriented evaluation, transdisciplinary engagement, and iterative learning approaches. It further aligns PANAP activities with continental initiatives such as the AU-EU Innovation Agenda and the FNSSA Partnership to support sustainable, inclusive, and scalable agrifood system transformation across Africa

    Database of PANAP & FNSSA Roadmap Activities, Data and Modelling Tools
    (FARA, 2026-05) FARA
    This report presents Deliverable D1.4 of the StEPPFoS project, focusing on the development of a comprehensive database of projects, programmes, policies, roadmap activities, data systems, and modelling tools related to agrifood systems across Africa. The database integrates information from PANAP and non-PANAP institutions and provides a structured framework for mapping thematic priorities, implementation mechanisms, policy linkages, and institutional collaboration patterns. The report combines survey findings, desk reviews, validation exercises, and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) to generate insights into governance structures, financing mechanisms, institutional coordination, evidence-to-policy pathways, and implementation capacity within African agrifood systems. It highlights the importance of interoperable data systems, sustained institutional learning, regional collaboration, and evidence-aligned policymaking to support sustainable food systems transformation in Africa.
