side event "Importance of employment data for shaping agricultural an food policies in sub-saharan Africa

Transforming food systems to end poverty and hunger requires both innovative, evidence-driven policymaking and human rights–based approaches that ensure fair working conditions, living incomes, and economic equity. Building agency and effectively addressing the decent work deficits for the 4.5 billion people who depend on food systems is key to advancing equitable livelihoods.
This side event will showcase initiatives supporting inclusive, sustainable agri-food systems in Africa to boost food security and decent work. The findings from JobAgri’s pilot project in Ghana, for example, highlight the knowledge gap and how data is key for effective policy making.
