Food Systems Transformation and Sustainable Financing in Guinea-Bissau

About this project

This proposal seeks to lay the basis for a coordinated and integrated stakeholder-driven approach to transforming food systems. The program will support the Government, particularly the designated National Focal Point, inestablishing a national food systems transformation strategy focused on clear, actionable priorities to strengthen transformative linkages across key food systems components: production, transportation, processing, marketing, andconsumption. This approach will integrate social, economic, and environmental outcomes to ensure sustainable transformation of food systems. In recognition of the critical bottlenecks related to financing, this will be complemented by actions to implement the National Financial Inclusion Strategy that will enhance both the supply and the demand for microcredit along key food systems value chains, thereby catalyzing investment in the food systems but also in the economy at large, as well as enhancing entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the UNCT will – through this proposal – accompany the national reflection which is now gathering momentum about innovative opportunities for financing for development without which the national food systems transformation strategy will not be implemented. This integrated policy support will inform the new National Development Plan, which is currently being elaborated.
