USAID, October 2021
This updated strategy responds to the challenges of the moment. Priorities include collaborating with local partners to address challenges to inclusion by intentionally engaging all actors, working to address the effects of climate change on agriculture, and adopting practices to counter the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional priorities include integrating social, political, and local dynamics within programming to improve food security, resilience, and nutrition outcomes; and acknowledging the journey food takes from cultivation to consumption to work across the food system, not just in particular value chains or market systems.
