About LEAP4FNSSA
LEAP4NFSSA is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) that aims at establishing a Europe-Africa International Research Consortium (IRC). The IRC will provide a tool for all European and African institutions ready to engage in a sustainable partnership platform for research and innovation on Food and nutrition security as well as Sustainable agriculture (FNSSA). Once established, the IRC will be instrumental to the High Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) on science and technology for innovation in meeting its strategic objectives. It will help to coordinate and prioritize the actions described in the FNSSA Roadmap endorsed by the HLPD. LEAP4FNSSA will also support the work of the two Commissions and its member countries in developing the science cooperation.
