The first feature in IFPRI's new video series, "On the Table," provides an insightful interview with our Director for Africa, Jemimah Njuki. Njuki has long been a leader in gender equality and women's empowerment in Africa's agriculture sectors, and this year was named a UN Food Systems Summit Champion and leader of the summit's women's empowerment lever of change. She shares how a gender lens has been integrated into the upcoming 2021 UN Food Systems Summit from the beginning, and the importance of ensuring that gender equality and women's voices are central to systems transformation.
