Scaling up Neglected and Underutilized Crops across Africa: a multi-stakeholder platform drives collaboration

In July 2024, the SUSTLIVES project organized a regional workshop at Joseph KI-ZERBO University in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The event gathered 42 experts representing research institutions, NGOs, the private sector, and policymaking bodies from across Africa. The workshop’s objective was to establish a multi-stakeholder platform (MSP), drive inter-country collaboration, and contribute to increased food security, nutrition, and climate resilience across the continent through the optimal use of local NUS.
