The Global partnership for agriculture and food security must be conceivable as a network between international organisations, scientists, donors, States, producer organisations, civil societies, private sectors.
It should be put under the remit of the United Nations, who will ensure the right to food and other human rights and initiate the Millennium Development Goals.
What is at stake.
In 2008, the intensity of the food crisis shed light on the world’s hunger problem. Indeed, with 963 million people affected, almost 1 out of 6 people currently suffers from hunger. The fight against this scourge requires, beyond the well intentioned declarations, a stronger, better organised and more coherent mobilisation of the international community.
At present, such a policy framework, that reunites all actors, does not exist. The Global partnership should be this political area on the international level enabling more mutually coherent commercial, agricultural, energetic, financial and environmental policies which would all influence world food security.
Here is Coordination SUD position paper on Global partnership for agriculture and food security.
English : What is the global partnership for agriculture and food security ?
This paper is the result of many exchanges between NGOs, within the framework of the International Forum of national NGO platforms. It is also the result of an advocacy exercice about regulation of agricultural markets.
The positions taken by the 82 national platforms of NGOs are published on the web page www.ong-ngo.org.
