Описание: This handbook, addressed to Members of Parliament and Parliamentary Advisors, provides a comprehensive overview of the role that Parliamentarians can play in the creation of reliable, coherent, and transparent “enabling environments” in areas related to investment in agriculture and food systems.

After explaining the urgent need to enhance responsible investment in agriculture and food systems and showing how can it contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and national development, the book provides concrete actions that MPs and Parliamentary Advisors can implement in their countries to improve investments. These include assessing and ensuring consistency in legal and policy frameworks.

Moreover, to support parliamentarians and advisors in creating effective partnerships with other stakeholders, such as other parliamentarians, the private sector, civil society and academia, the last section of the publication provides tailored key messages that can be used in meetings, conferences and other kinds of communications such as reports, press releases, and social media. It includes useful explanations of how data and country-level statistics can support advocacy and communication activities.

Описание: This study—which includes a pilot intervention in Kenya—aims to further the state of knowledge about the emerging trend of disruptive agricultural technologies (DATs) in Africa, with a focus on supply-side dynamics. The first part of the study is a stocktaking analysis to assess the number, scope, trend, and characteristics of scalable disruptive technology innovators in agriculture in Africa. From a database of 434 existing DAT operations, the analysis identified 194 as scalable. The second part of the study is a comparative case study of Africa's two most successful DAT ecosystems in Kenya and Nigeria, which together account for half of Sub-Saharan Africa's active DATs. The objective of these two case studies is to understand the successes, challenges, and opportunities faced by each country in fostering a conducive innovation ecosystem for scaling up DATs. The case study analysis focuses on six dimensions of the innovation ecosystem in Kenya and Nigeria: finance, regulatory environment, culture, density, human capital, and infrastructure. The third part of the study is based on the interactions and learnings from a pilot event to boost the innovation ecosystem in Kenya. The Disruptive Agricultural Technology Innovation Knowledge and Challenge Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, brought together more than 300 key stakeholders from large technology companies, agribusiness companies, and public agencies; government representatives and experts from research and academic institutions; and representatives from financial institutions, foundations, donors, and venture capitalists. Scaling Up Disruptive Agricultural Technologies in Africa concludes by establishing that DATs are demonstrating early indications of a positive impact in addressing food system constraints. It offers potential entry points and policy recommendations to facilitate the broader adoption of DATs and improve the overall food system.
