As part of the recommendations of the Joint ANGOC-NGO Cooperation Meeting held in August 1997 to support follow up of the World Food Summit plan of action, a networking initiative has been jointly undertaken by the Nutrition Unit and the Rural Development Unit of FAO-RAP to support FAO-NGO Collaboration in the fields of food security, nutrition and rural development. This initiative falls in line with FAOs commitment to promote and ensure food security using a sustainable, participatory approach. This information will be utilised to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses in the existing FAO-NGO collaborative mechanism so that it can be further developed.
