E-Consultation
– the next 4 weeks
|
Over the next four weeks, FAO and WFP will facilitate this
e-consultation in drawing on the widest possible group of stakeholders
and interested parties on how best to address hunger, food insecurity
and malnutrition at all levels, and to seek your inputs on the
elaboration of a new agenda for action beyond the current MDG
framework.
We also invite you to submit papers, findings, or on-going work on
the topic of hunger, food and nutrition security.
We seek your
inputs on the following three themes:
What do you see as the key
lessons learned during the current Millennium
Development Goals (MDG) Framework (1990-2015), in particular in
relation to the MDGs of relevance to hunger, food insecurity and
malnutrition?
What do you consider the main challenges
and opportunities towards achieving food and nutrition
security in the coming years?
What works best?
Drawing on existing knowledge, please tell us how we should go
about addressing the hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition
challenges head on. Provide us with your own experiences and insights.
For example, how important are questions of improved governance,
rights-based approaches, accountability and political commitment in
achieving food and nutrition security?
Furthermore, how could we best draw upon current initiatives,
including the Zero
Hunger Challenge, launched by the UN Secretary General
at the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (www.zerohungerchallenge.org),
and the Global
Strategic Framework for Food Security and Nutrition
elaborated by the CFS?
For the Post-2015
Global Development Framework to be complete, global
(and regional or national) objectives,
targets and indicators will be identified towards
tackling hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. A set of objectives
has been put forward by the UN Secretary-General under Zero Hunger
Challenge (ZHC):
a. 100% access to adequate food all year round
b. Zero stunted children less than 2 years old
c. All food systems are sustainable
d. 100% increase in smallholder productivity and income
e. Zero loss or waste of food.
Please provide us with your feedback on the above list of objectives
– or provide your own proposals. Should some objectives be
country-specific, or regional, rather than global? Should the
objectives be time-bound?
