Special thanks to @FAOUganda for supporting @WFF_Uganda leaders to attend the #CAADPKampala25. With 70% of Africa's youth actively involved in agriculture, their integration is vital to achieving #Agenda2063

1/
At #CAADPKampala25 today, our @FAOAfrica Rep, @AbebeHGabriel, addressed the Youth & Women in #AgrifoodSystems Pavilion.
Focus: Transforming Africa's agrifood systemsโand why women and youth must be at the centre.
This is why it matters ๐
4/ ๐ฉโ๐๐จโ๐Africaโs youthโ70% under 30, are the future.
@FAO programs like #YouthinAfrica program #OYA & #GreenJobs have trained thousands, enabling young people to start agribusinesses & shape sustainable food systems.
#Youth are not just participants; theyโre leaders.
#DYK Africa has 65% of the world's remaining uncultivated arable land?
However, in 2021, Africa's food imports amounted to about USD 100 billion dollars.
In the #CAADPKampala25, African leaders are expected to develop concrete proposals to overcome this challenge.
Ugandaโs Prime Minister @RobinahNabanja_ has opened the Comprehensive African #Agriculture Development Programme #CAADP Summit.
Leaders & stakeholders will deliberate over the next two days on strategies to boost #foodproduction, improve nutrition, & reduce hunger across Africa.
๐ Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with joy, purpose and sustainable aspirations!
We hope you will join us in 2025 to transform our agrifood systems for a better food future for all! ๐ฑโจ
