World Resources Institute (WRI-Africa) ACE4Food Co-creation Workshop March 2024

About

In March 2024, Brenda was invited by WRI Africa, with support from the IKEA Foundation and Resonance, to a co-creation workshop to design the Accelerating Circular Economy for Food (ACE4Food) initiative. The goal was to collaboratively define a shared vision and foundational pillars for accelerating circularity in East Africa’s food systems.

The workshop surfaced critical gaps: fragmented investments, inconsistent understanding of circularity, and poor policy coordination. Key thematic focus areas emerged, including circular economy system leadership, reducing food loss and waste, productive reuse of waste, regenerative agriculture, and the food-energy nexus.
