The Food Systems Transformation Window Funding Rounds

FIRST FUNDING ROUND

A first round launched in 2024 mobilised USD 15 million across 18 countries through two distinct funding tracks: a High Impact Track (HIT) for 6 countries ready to pilot or scale systemic interventions, and a Seed Funding Track in 12 countries, designed to incubate emerging transformative solutions and strengthen enabling institutional environments. HIT programmes operate over a two‑year cycle, while Seed Funding Track programmes are designed as one‑year interventions.

SECOND FUNDING ROUND

Over the past two years, momentum around food systems transformation has continued to grow, together with a more mature understanding of the food systems approach as a lever for accelerated SDG action and for generating durable, structural change. Against this backdrop, a second funding round opened in 2025 reflects a significant increase in ambition, with a total envelope of USD 17 million allocated across 11 High‑Impact Track countries. The second funding round places a stronger focus on financial leverage and climate responsiveness, aiming to support countries in mobilizing and structuring diversified financing streams that can sustain food systems transformations over time and enhance national autonomy in implementation and scaling.
