During COP16 in Riyadh, the Malian diaspora demonstrated how innovative investments, such as those by Ciwara Capital, are revolutionizing agriculture and strengthening climate resilience in Mali.

Relying on the resources of the diaspora, they address food insecurity, create jobs, and promote economic stability. These initiatives serve as a model for sustainable development for other African countries.

According to Magaye Gaye, an international economics consultant, projects driven by diasporas can help bridge Africa's financing gaps in climate-sensitive sectors. Key questions remain: how can international support intensify these efforts, and what policies stemming from COP16 could strengthen agricultural investments in unstable regions?

Urban agriculture is transforming food security in Nairobi.

As Africa's urban population is expected to reach 1.5 billion people by 2050, feeding these expanding cities poses a major challenge. In Nairobi, urban agriculture has emerged as a significant change, transforming unused spaces into sustainable food production hubs.

These farms not only provide fresh and affordable produce but also create jobs and reduce reliance on costly imports. This innovative solution helps Nairobi households combat food insecurity and adapt to the challenges of urbanization.
