粮食、农业和自然资源政策分析网络 Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network

FANRPAN’s mandate is derived from the first Conference of Ministers of Agriculture of Eastern and Southern Africa held in Harare in April 1994, where the Ministers agreed to support the establishment of a regional agriculture and natural resources policy network to enhance the capacity for policy formulation and analysis. In response, FANRPAN was established in 1997, with an initial focus on the southern and east Africa regions. In 2010, after an expression of interest from countries outside the southern and east African region, the network’s mandate was expanded to cover the continent.

The Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN) is an all-inclusive multi-stakeholder pan-African network that provides independent evidence to inform and influence policy processes at national and regional levels. FANRPAN is a multi-tiered network consisting of a regional secretariat and established national nodes, currently present in 18 African countries , and growing. FANRPAN has nodes in all Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) member states. The network’s membership includes food, agriculture and natural resources (FANR) related government departments, parliamentarians, research and farmer organizations, private sector, civil society organizations and the media.
