The launch event will provide an opportunity to:
Announce the establishment of the Alliance and its vision for a hunger-free Southern Africa.
Highlight the critical role of parliamentarians in shaping policies and legislation for food security and nutrition.
Present the Alliance’s Charter, which outlines its governance structure, operational principles, and commitment to regional cooperation.
Engage with stakeholders from governments, civil society, and development partners to foster collaborative partnerships and resource mobilization for the region’s food security goals.
The launch is a major milestone in efforts to promote SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and build resilient, sustainable agrifood systems in line with Africa’s development goals, including Agenda 2063 and the Malabo Declaration. As food insecurity and malnutrition continue to rise, the SADC Parliamentary Alliance represents a vital step towards ensuring that political and legislative actions align with the pressing needs of the region.
