Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) Zambia Country Plan
U.S. government interagency cooperating institutions are proud to present the Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS), Country Plan for 2024 – 2029, which seeks to improve livelihood opportunities and increase nutrition outcomes in a defined Zone of Influence in Zambia. The three objectives of the GFSS include:
- Inclusive and sustainable agriculture-led economic growth.
- Strengthened resilience among people, communities, countries, and systems.
- A well-nourished population, especially among women and children.
This plan operationalizes the GFSS objectives within the current Zambian context, and is based on lessons learned from over 13 years of learning from past and present Feed the Future Zambia activities. Lessons learned that were incorporated into this plan include: 1) greater leverage of private sector resources to achieve GFSS objectives, 2) increasing the influence of women in business and households to mitigate economic stressors and climate change, and 3) utilization of new digital tools to access agricultural inputs, finance, and markets. The plan describes the innovative, global best practices that will ensure food security and promote prosperity. The plan seeks to grow and expand market-led solutions that leverage private sector resources to drive enterprise development and strengthen food systems.
