Abstract

The objectives of the 2020 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) are twofold. First, the report tracks past and current African agricultural policies, and evaluates their limitations and achievements. Second, it identifies further policy interventions to improve agricultural outcomes and stimulate broader transformation throughout the agrifood system so as to contribute to healthy and nutritious diets, environmental sustainability, and job creation. Collectively, the chapters converge on a number of key lessons: consolidate recent successes without repeating past mistakes, ensure that policies are both holistic and nuanced, and strengthen the broader policy and institutional setting in which sector-specific policy decisions are embedded. This chapter summarizes these findings and concludes that even though COVID-19 has been a significant global shock, it does not need to derail the region’s agrifood system transformation aspirations.
