Regional Centre of Excellence against Hunger and Malnutrition

The Regional Centre of Excellence against hunger and malnutrition (CERFAM) is a centre specialised in knowledge management, technical assistance, and south-south cooperation, created in 2019 by the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire with the support of the World Food Programme (WFP) to accelerate progress toward ending hunger and malnutrition on the continent.

Embedded within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, CERFAM identifies, documents, promotes and disseminates good practices and lessons learned while facilitating the provision of technical expertise and capacity building to support the implementation of good practices through South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC).

The Centre aims to bring together all initiatives in the field of nutrition, home-grown school feeding (HGSF), community resilience, and value chain optimization with a focus on post-harvest losses in a synergy of action with relevant stakeholders.
