Сеть фермерских организаций и сельскохозяйственных производителей Западной Африки (по-французски ROPPA) объединяет 147 низовых организаций производителей в 15 странах, в каждой из которых работает национальная платформа. Основная миссия ROPPA заключается в обеспечении того, чтобы политика в области сельского, лесного, пастбищного и рыбного хозяйства была основана на модели семейных ферм, которая может гарантировать продовольственную независимость.

В сотрудничестве с FFF ассоциация ROPPA повышает компетентность фермерских организаций в области устойчивого лесопользования, фиксируя инновационные идеи и практику отдельных семейных ферм. На основе полученного справочника инноваций и передовой практики организуются семинары по обмену опытом для повышения компетентности других членов сети.

Еще одна из целей ROPPA заключается в непосредственном влиянии на политику в области сельского, лесного, пастбищного и рыбного хозяйства путем разработки меморандумов с предложениями и организации дискуссий по вопросам охраны лесных территорий в законодательных органах.

Последний компонент сосредоточен на продвижении рыночной лесной продукции, что способствует защите общинных лесных территорий. В рамках этого направления организуются мероприятия для поощрения участия женщин и молодежи в торговых ярмарках и обмена визитами между жителями Западной Африки и работниками, занимающими аналогичные должности в других регионах Африки.

Global Alliance of Territorial Communities

The Global Alliance of Territorial Communities (GATC), is an alliance between the Alliance of Indigenous Communities of the Indonesian Archipelago (AMAN), the Mesoamerican Alliance of Forest Peoples (AMPB), the Coordination of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), the Network for Sustainable Management of Forests in Central Africa (REPALEAC), and the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB). In total, the Global Alliance represents indigenous peoples and local communities in 24 countries.

These alliances work together on five key messages:

• The rights of indigenous peoples and local communities over the lands they occupy must be recognized
• Any intervention in these territories must go through a process of free and informed prior consent
• Direct access of their organizations to climate funds for the protection and management of these territories
• Their leaders should not continue to be criminalized or killed
• All policies developed in their territories must take into account their traditional knowledge

An example of the Global Alliance’s work is the Shandia initiative, which involves setting up financing mechanisms, such as the Mesoamerican Territorial Fund (FTM) to strengthen or create local capacity to absorb climate finance, such as the $1.7 billion in financing that was pledged to reach local communities directly at COP26.

Inter-Continental Network of Organic Farmer Organisations

The Inter-Continental Network of Organic Farmer Organisations (INOFO) is a global leading organic farmers’ network. INOFO fosters a new connection among established associations of Organic farmers, harnessing the potential of a bottom-up, farmer-led approach. INOFO aspires to excel FFPOs as the key change agents in delivering climate resilience landscape and improve the livelihoods.

INOFO organic member FFPOs are present in 6 countries in Asia, 15 in Africa, 24 in the Asian Pacific, 3 in Latin America, 2 from North America and 27 in Europe. With the worldwide diversity of organic farmers growing a variety of crops, INOFO already contributing to one of the major solutions needed for climate-friendly, sustainable food systems. Harnessing the diverse skills, knowledge and connections of its members, INOFO devises strategies to ensure food security for present and future generations. Through advocacy, it champions shared objectives related to food sovereignty, including concerns like public policy, farmers' land rights, climate resilience, production standards, marketing negotiations, research, training, and education. INOFO also focuses on engaging youth in professional platforms to preserve social and environmental well-being in communities. Lastly, the organization aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by small-scale organic farming by openly addressing the global realities farmers encounter.

With FFF support, INOFO works on facilitating and promoting peer to peer knowledge exchange among INOFO’s organic farmers organisations’ value chain in member regions of Latin America, Africa and Asia.

World Rural Forum

The World Rural Forum (WRF) is made up of family farming federations and organizations and promotes family farming and sustainable rural development. Its work focuses on the fact that women represent an average of 43% of the agricultural labour force in developing countries but constitute less than 20% of landholders, and that almost 80% of the world’s extreme poor live in rural areas and work in agriculture. WRF groups entities that represent over 35 million family farmers.

WRF works with 10 member farmers’ organisations in five continents:

• Northern Africa (UMNAGRI, Union Maghrébine et Nord Africaine des Agriculteurs)
• Central Africa (PROPAC, Plateforme Régionale des Organisations Paysannes d'Afrique Centrale),
• South and East Africa (ESAFF, Eastern and Southern Africa Small Scale Farmers’ Forum and REFACOF, Réseau des Femmes Africaines pour la gestion Communautaire des Forêts)
• West Africa (CRU-BN, Coordinación Regional de usuarios y usuarias de los recursos naturales de la Cuenca del Níger)
• Central America (PDRR, Programa de Diálogo Regional Rural; AACARI, Agriculture Alliance of the Carribean)
• South America (COPROFAM, Confederación de Organizaciones de Productores Familiares del MERCOSUR), and
• Asia-Pacific (AFA, Asian Farmers Association, and PIFO, Pacific Island Farmers’ Organization).

With FFF support, WRF strengthens the capacities of FFPOs to promote policy and legal frameworks conducive to the economic empowerment and livelihood resilience of rural women, seizing the opportunity of the implementation of the United Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 (UNDFF). WRF also works to put smallholder FFPOs at the centre of climate and nature/biodiversity policy processes by strengthening advocacy capacities and FFPOs’ participation in local, national, regional, and global political dialogue spaces.
