climate change is affecting food systems
Recent example: Freddy hit Malawi , Mozambique and Madagascar killing 100s of people
Climate change, Fragility, conflict and violence must be addressed to transform agriculture and achieve sustainable
development
Climate change fighting efforts are there …including $25 billion by AfDB and $31 billion by WB
Organization and partnerships eg fao are working agrifood systems resilient to shock
FAO proposes integrated approaches
Resilience measurement
Networking on resilience
FAOs strategy on climate change
Challenges still remain in building climate resilience

Adopting CSA techniques (policy, markets, AI, IoT etc)

Deployment, AKADEMIYA2063
| AGRODEP TEAM
Chair and Moderator:
Ms. Tsitsi Makombe
Director of External Relations,
AKADEMIYA2063
-AK2063- active on markets – Tsitsi Makombe e.g. impact of Covid-19, impacts of Ukraine crisis
Dr Fofana: in his framing remarks:
Increase in commodity prices in 2020 and increased more than in 2022
This is important because primary commodities weigh more in exports baskets of African countries
Both in total imports and total exports
Negative ToT in 2020…were oil producers etc. because export prices went down during pandemic
Negative ToTs in 2022, changed in favour of oil producers because oil prices and energy benefited including Mozambique,
Nigeria, Angola etc.
These of course have wider ramifications in economy through current account balance
Nigeria Ghana Mozambique, Benin, South Africa, improved export index
Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, cote d, Kenya, Uganda, Tunisia , Tanzania …deteriorating ToT
Compare no crisis scenario vs Ukraine crisis scenario
The countries with better ToTs have very small impacts on GDP growth, in 2022;
But countries with deteriorating ToTs, GDP decline is highest
For mozambique, coal , petroleum , aluminium, gold are the ones that have dominated growth and are not as labour
intensive
Impacts are heterogeneous and depend on structure of the economy
