Prof. Fadel Ndiame - Roundtable on empowerment of youth, farmers and diaspora

Prof. Fadel Ndiame is the Executive Director of the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR), a pan-African organization dedicated to advancing evidence-informed policymaking for governance and development challenges across the continent.

PASGR (Est. 2011) works in more than 26 African countries to strengthen the capacity of researchers, academic institutions, and policy actors to generate evidence-based solutions for the continent’s most pressing social and governance challenges.

We are very proud to announce Prof. Fadel Ndiam’s return to Cities Leading Food Production during VIV Europe 2026 in Utrecht. 

Prof. Fadel Ndiame speaking at the Governance roundtable of Cities Leading Food Production at VIV MEA 2025:

“Africa is such a huge continent, full of diversity and heterogeneity. Making sure that voices are heard is important in the area of policies. And this is why the focus of our work on evidence, informed policy making, which in practice means appreciating all the diversities, listening to everybody and making sure that there is a process of agreeing on what the priorities are, implementing and learning from it.”

“By joining forces between Europe, Arfrica, Middle East and Asia we can support the transition of our agricultural sector. By empowering small and medium sized farmers we secure health and affordable food for everybody while simultaneously challenging climate change.” 

“And this is why I'm here. I'm so eager. I'm so happy to meet this group and take it into action at VIV Europe in Utrecht. Thank you very much for the opportunity.”

On Thursday, June 4th, Prof. Fadel Ndiame will host a roundtable on how to engage EU and Africa to activate and empower youth, farmers and the diaspora.
