The World Food Program has commenced a significant initiative in sub-Saharan Africa to address the post-harvest food losses in this region. With a major focus on preserving existing food production (moreso than increasing agricultural production), WFP is providing three important stages of farmer support; Capacity Development (Farmer Education); Action Research; and Project Implementation (Up-scaling). Working closely with fellow UN Agencies (WFP, FAO and IFAD recently signed an inter-agency project to mainstream food loss reduction initiatives), Governments and Country Offices in Uganda and Burkina Faso, the project aims to increase the food security, nutrition and financial income of smallholder families in these two countries. We are gathering a significant amount of information relevant to your HLPE which we are happy to share, however we will need to liaise regarding the most appropriate way of disseminating this information. Please advise.
Best regards,
Simon
