Multi-stakeholder consultations were successfully held in Zambia (Oct 4), Tanzania (Oct 11-12), South Africa (Oct 19), and Malawi (Oct 26). Close to a hundred stakeholders from varied backgrounds participated in the consultations and provided valuable inputs to our efforts to map food systems and build RTPs in the four countries. FoSTA-Health researchers also used the opportunity to present research plans and progress thus far, and received useful feedback.

Proceedings from the four events are documented in reports, compiled here.

Russell Cain (University of Leeds) and Abhigya (Czech Globe) have written blogposts reflecting upon insights from the consultations, with respect to RTPs and systems mapping respectively.
