In July 2021, African Youth in Agriculture and Climate Change convened a joint dialogue on food systems as part of the pre-United Nations Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) events. The three-day dialogue was convened by Young Professionals for Agricultural Development (YPARD), Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program Youth Network (CYN), and Africa Youth Initiative on Climate Change (AYICC) with support from USAID-Policy LINK and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). A unanimous decision by participating African youth was to establish a unifying Youth Network through which they would contribute to the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) agricultural development policy agenda and climate change policy agenda via United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) processes.
