Created by Côte d’Ivoire under the authority of the Vice-President, the Regional Centre of Excellence against Hunger and Malnutrition (CERFAM) addresses the increasing demand from African countries for enhanced South-South cooperation and knowledge sharing. CERFAM embodies a commitment to intensify regional collaboration and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger) and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 goals to eradicate hunger and malnutrition.

CERFAM’s mission is to identify, document, and disseminate good practices and lessons learned, providing countries with evidence-based knowledge to inform national policies and projects. By facilitating the scaling up of successful interventions, CERFAM ensures that proven solutions are adapted to diverse contexts for greater impact.

Additionally, CERFAM serves as a regional platform for capacity building and knowledge management, leveraging South-South and triangular cooperation. It connects governments, NGOs, and international organizations, fostering the exchange of experiences and technical expertise to strengthen food security and nutrition efforts across the continent.

Within the HealthyDiets4Africa consortium, CERFAM leads the implementation of Work Package (WP) #9, which focuses on the Policies and Communication component of the project. CERFAM’s key activities include mapping, enhancing, and monitoring policy changes and engagement efforts that promote healthy diets.
