Session III of our Ukraine Crisis Webinar Series will discuss the key findings from AKADEMIYA2063's analysis of global market upheavals in the fertilizer sector with a focus on exposure, contagion & effects on agricultural productivity & growth. Based on AKADEMIYA2063's Ukraine Briefs 3 & 8, the session will analyze the overall impacts of fertilizer sector disruptions, discuss how the disruption of global fertilizer markets is expected to reduce fertilizer use & the potential impacts of the reduction in fertilizer use on agricultural sector outputs.
The document discusses the impacts of the Ukraine crisis on the economy of Rwanda through disruptions to global trade and commodity markets. It finds that Rwanda's terms of trade deteriorated in 2022 and 2024 due to higher import prices and lower export prices. GDP growth is projected to be cut by half in 2022-2023 and employment growth to slow, with GDP and employment on lower trajectories than without the crisis. Food consumption and incomes are also negatively impacted, increasing poverty levels. The government provided subsidies to mitigate high global fertilizer prices faced by farmers.

Ensuring food security is affected by the saturation of agricultural products produced domestically and imported. The military actions in Ukraine have negatively affected the export logistics of Ukrainian agricultural products to third countries, thus posing a threat to food security. The aim of the study is to diversify the export logistics of Ukrainian agricultural products as a result of the blockade of seaports by using the capabilities of railway and vehicle transports, cross-border cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union countries. The study is based on an assessment of the volume of exports of Ukrainian agricultural products, an analysis of the geographical structure of logistics exports, and the border crossing of Ukrainian agricultural products by different types of transport. The paper describes diversified logistics routes for exporting Ukrainian agricultural products. Based on research results, identifies promising directions of support for the export logistics of Ukrainian agricultural products during martial law and ensuring food security.

The document analyzes the effects of changes in international commodity prices and global trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth and poverty in West Africa. It finds:
- Price declines for key agricultural exports led to negative impacts on growth and increases in poverty across most West African countries. Both rural and urban poverty increased.
- The terms of trade deteriorated for agricultural commodities in most West African nations.
- To mitigate the impacts, it recommends scaling up social protection, diversifying exports, increasing investments in agriculture, and accelerating agricultural policy implementation.
The document analyzes the effects of changes in international commodity prices and global trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth and poverty in West Africa. It finds:
- Agricultural commodity prices fell more than predicted in 2020, deteriorating terms of trade for most West African countries.
- GDP growth was lower and poverty increased more than predicted in most countries due to agricultural commodity price and trade shocks. Both urban and rural poverty rose.
- The results suggest a need to scale up social protection, diversify exports, increase agricultural investments and accelerate agricultural policy implementation to protect rural and urban populations.
Ukraine Crisis Webinar Series Session - VIAKADEMIYA2063
This document summarizes the findings of a study on the effects of global vegetable oils market disruptions and price shocks. It finds that some countries like Mozambique, Malawi, and Uganda may experience negative food security outcomes, while Ghana may have positive outcomes. This is due to Ghana's local vegetable oils and oilseeds industries producing close substitutes. The study uses economic simulation models to analyze the impacts on household incomes, food inflation, and food consumption for different groups in selected countries under a baseline and Ukraine crisis scenario. Recent forecasts show a moderate increase in global vegetable oils prices for 2022 compared to earlier projections.
The world is facing a context of high geopolitical and economic uncertainty that may lead to a foreseeable
simultaneous contraction in the main areas. The post pandemic economic recovery has been disrupted by the direct
consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its collateral effects on energy prices and supplies. The
persistence of some risks and the materialization of other latent risks would turn the slowdown into a recession. Of
particular note are the high inflation rates caused by the increase in the price of energy and food raw materials, and
their transmission to the rest of the consumption basket, as well as by the continuous tensions in the supply chains.
Also, if the systematic interruption of Russian natural gas supplies to Europe becomes effective, the impact on
European economies will be significant and could trigger a global energy crisis. Finally, it cannot be ruled out that a
disruption of grain exports from Ukraine and Russia could lead to a food crisis.
In this environment of generalized inflation, major central banks have begun to normalize their policies, reducing
sovereign debt purchases and raising interest rates. This monetary tightening will have a negative impact on the
recovery, but it is necessary, especially where inflation expectations are beginning to unanchor . Without action, there
may be second round effects with upward spirals requiring further monetary tightening, further damaging growth and
employment.
The main international organizations have revised their global growth forecasts downwards. Thus, in June, the OECD
lowered its forecasts for 2022 to 3 % year on year (vs. 4.5 % estimated in December 2021 ), and in July, the IMF updated
its April forecasts, reducing growth for 2022 by 4 tenths of a percentage point to 3.2
The Director-General of the FAO provided a summary of the global food security situation and risks posed by the war in Ukraine in a presentation to G7 Agriculture Ministers. Key points included:
1) Nearly 200 million people faced crisis levels of food insecurity in 2021 according to the Global Food Crises Report.
2) FAO sees risks to global food/agriculture from direct conflict effects, macroeconomic factors, and humanitarian impacts.
3) Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of wheat, maize, and oilseeds, and their reduced exports are tightening global supplies and raising prices.
4) Many countries heavily rely on Ukrainian and Russian wheat and are seeking new suppliers.

This document discusses the socioeconomic challenges and potential for hydrogen (H2) production in West Africa. It provides background on West Africa's economic development strategies since the 1950s, which have shifted from industry-led growth to agriculture-led growth and poverty reduction. Charts show current electricity production, access, and renewable energy capacity in the ECOWAS region are still relatively low. The document forecasts significant growth in renewable energy generation capacity through 2030, which could enable production of green hydrogen in the region at an affordable price of under $1.5/kg by 2040. In conclusion, it presents on the technical potential for green hydrogen production in West Africa.
The document summarizes the key discussions and conclusions from the 2023 ReSAKSS Annual Conference. Some of the main points discussed include:
1) The need for quality data and integrated data systems to inform decision-making and track progress on food system transformation.
2) Challenges in achieving CAADP/Malabo targets and setting priorities for the post-Malabo agenda given legacy issues and new challenges.
3) Emerging themes that should be research focus areas, such as nutrition-smart pathways, food safety, climate adaptation economics, and gender transformation.

This document summarizes progress on key CAADP indicators based on data from ReSAKSS. It finds that while some indicators like agricultural GDP and intra-African agricultural trade have increased steadily, most of Africa remains below the CAADP targets of 6% annual agricultural growth and 10% of government expenditure going to agriculture. Progress has also slowed or reversed on indicators like undernourishment prevalence and poverty levels in recent years. It concludes Africa must improve agricultural productivity and efficiency, boost value-added intra-African trade under AfCFTA, and allocate government agriculture expenditures based on evidence to achieve the CAADP goals.

This document discusses the economic impacts of climate change on food systems in Africa. It finds that climate extremes are the second leading cause of food insecurity in Africa, after conflict. Future warming is projected to reduce yields for staple crops across most of Africa. The food system is failing to provide food security. To build resilient food systems, countries are looking to mainstream climate risk and adaptation. The economic effects of climate change are substantial, with reductions in GDP projected for Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, and Senegal by 2050. Climate-smart agriculture could help mitigate these economic impacts if widely adopted. However, significant investments are needed to equip land with soil/water conservation and improved seeds. Adaptation also requires building farmers'

She notes that approximately 1.23 billion people are involved in agrifood systems globally, with most jobs in developing countries in these systems. However, structural gender inequalities exist that compound other inequalities like poverty. While some changes to food systems can increase inequalities, interventions may promote gender equity if designed well. Evidence shows increasing women's empowerment through various measures can contribute to improved food security and economic outcomes, though context is important. Certain projects aiming to empower women in agriculture have shown success by addressing underlying gender norms and involving women's groups and other community members.

The document summarizes a presentation on food system diagnostics and policy implications in Malawi. It discusses how food system diagnostics were conducted in Malawi to assess components, challenges, and policy gaps. The diagnostics identified that Malawi's food system faces issues like high levels of food insecurity, limited dietary diversity, and low agricultural productivity. It was found that policies focus more on production than other areas. The diagnostics provide evidence to inform policies that pursue a holistic food systems approach to improve nutrition, reduce food loss, and promote regional trade integration in Malawi. Lessons highlight the importance of resources, tools, stakeholder engagement and data to effectively conduct food system diagnostics.
Committing to Transform Food Systems: Responsiveness of pledges by African governments to the WHO Priority Food Systems Policies and select CAADP Biennial Review Indicators
This document provides a recap of Day 1 and the program for Day 2 of the 2023 ReSAKSS conference. Day 1 included side events on climate change and data analytics in African food systems. There were presentations on the conference objectives, an overview of the 2023 ATOR report, and a panel discussion on the CAADP experience. Day 2's program includes presentations and discussions on tracking progress under Malabo, approaches to accelerating food systems transformation, and emerging themes. The 2023 ATOR report and conference materials will be made available online after the event.
The 2023 ATOR aims to contribute evidence and analysis to guide the design of the post-Malabo agenda for agricultural development in Africa. It reviews progress since 2003, noting that while Africa made gains, challenges remain or have been exacerbated by recent shocks. The report examines methodologies for food systems assessment and strategic issues like nutrition, climate change, and data gaps. Key themes are the need for innovation, collaboration, strengthened capacities, evidence-based planning, improved data, and analytical tools to inform the next phase of Africa's agricultural transformation.
Dr. Ousmane Badiane - 2023 ReSAKSS Conference.pptxAKADEMIYA2063
This document outlines priorities and knowledge gaps for developing the post-Malabo agenda in African agriculture. It discusses both opportunities to build upon the progress made under CAADP as well as challenges to address, such as the effects of climate change, vulnerability to economic shocks, and changing demand constraints for smallholder farmers. Key data and knowledge gaps are identified in areas like investment prioritization and effectiveness, climate adaptation options, emerging agro-industry dynamics, and community-level vulnerability assessments. The document calls for analytics to help fill these gaps and better target and implement the post-Malabo agricultural development goals in Africa.
Dr Jean Paul Latyr FAYE - 2023 ReSAKSS Conference.pptxAKADEMIYA2063
This document discusses using machine learning and earth observation data to map crops in Rwanda and Senegal. Satellite sensors collect data across electromagnetic spectra that is used to calculate indices like NDVI. Machine learning models like random forest classifiers are trained on this data paired with ground truth crop locations to classify pixels as different crop types. The models were able to accurately map maize fields in Rwanda and groundnut fields in Senegal. With more training data, this approach could map crops across entire countries to help monitor food production systems.

Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.
Monitoring Health for the SDGs - Global Health Statistics 2024 - WHOChristina Parmionova
The 2024 World Health Statistics edition reviews more than 50 health-related indicators from the Sustainable Development Goals and WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work. It also highlights the findings from the Global health estimates 2021, notably the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy.
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
UN WOD 2024 will take us on a journey of discovery through the ocean's vastness, tapping into the wisdom and expertise of global policy-makers, scientists, managers, thought leaders, and artists to awaken new depths of understanding, compassion, collaboration and commitment for the ocean and all it sustains. The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.
