Descripción
Through the "Purchase from Africans for Africa" programme (PAA Africa), FAO has been providing technical support to governments for building adapted and operational public food procurement methods from smallholder farmers in the context of school feeding. The methods of public procurement fostered by PAA Africa were developed in complex contexts of food insecurity and malnutrition, presenting occasional food deficit and / or chronic food insecurity, low agricultural productivity, institutional fragility and lack of governance, with population relying on food aid to overcome food insecurity. The publication presents good practices and lessons learned along of five years of practices at different levels of support to the governments of Niger, Senegal, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Malawi.
