Event by United Nations Food Systems Coordination HUB
In preparation for the United Nations Food Systems Summit +4 (UNFSS+4), the Hub, in collaboration with Regional Economic Commissions and the broader UN system, is organizing five regional preparatory meetings. These meetings aim to facilitate regional dialogue and input into the UNFSS+4 process.
Africa Regional Preparatory Meeting for UNFSS+4
Date: May 5–7, 2025
Venue: Nairobi, Kenya
Region: Africa
Registration: Link to be provided soon.
The Africa Regional Preparatory Meeting will provide a platform for stakeholders to assess progress, identify key challenges, and shape regional priorities for sustainable food systems transformation. While most regional meetings will be held alongside the 2025 Economic Commission Regional Sustainable Development Fora (February–April 2025), the Africa meeting will take place separately in Nairobi, Kenya, ensuring focused discussions on the region’s contributions to UNFSS+4.
The UNFSS+4 Regional Preparatory Meetings will be held in person and online. They are open to:
- Member States (National Convenors and other representatives)
- United Nations entities
- Civil society organizations
- Private sector actors
- Financial institutions
- Academia and research institutions
- Food systems coalitions and other stakeholders
- The broader Ecosystem of Support
The meetings will span three days and include plenary sessions, interactive discussions and peer-learning opportunities to ensure inclusive and action-oriented participation.
For more information on the preparatory meeting see this concept note.
*More information on the event will follow shortly and this page will be updated regularly.
