HLPE consultation on the V0 draft of the Report: Multi-stakeholder Partnerships (MSPs) to Finance and Improve Food Security and Nutrition in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda
During its 43rd Plenary Session (17-21 October 2016), the CFS requested the HLPE to produce a report on “Multistakeholder Partnerships to Finance and Improve Food Security and Nutrition in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda” to be presented at CFS45 Plenary session in October 2018.
As part of the process of elaboration of its reports, the HLPE is organizing a consultation to seek inputs, suggestions, and comments on the present V0 draft. This open e-consultation will be used by the HLPE to further elaborate the report, which will then be submitted to external expert peer-reviewers, before finalization and approval by the HLPE Steering Committee.
HLPE V0 drafts are deliberately presented early enough in the process – as a work-in-progress, with their range of imperfections – to allow sufficient time to give proper consideration to the feedback received so that it can play a really useful role in the elaboration of the report. It is a key part of the scientific dialogue between the HLPE Project Team and Steering Committee, and the rest of the knowledge community.
In order to enrich and illustrate the report with a variety of examples, participants are invited to submit concrete, practical, well-documented and significant case-studies of existing MSPs, as defined in the V0 Draft, through the use of the dedicated Questionnaire provided both as an annex to the V0 Draft, and as a separate editable word file.
The HLPE also encourages the submission of further material, references and evidence on the performance and impact of existing MSPs in the field of FSN.
In order to strengthen the report, the HLPE welcomes all the suggestions, including contributions regarding the following questions:
- The purpose of the report is to analyze the role of MSPs in improving and financing FSN. Do you think that this draft is striking the right balance and give enough space to finance related issues? What are the constraints to raising funds for FSN?
- Is the structure of the report comprehensive enough, and adequately articulated? Are the concepts clearly defined and used consistently throughout the report? Are there important aspects that are missing? Are there any major omissions or gaps in the report? Are there topics under-or over-represented in relation to their importance? Are any facts or conclusions erroneous or questionable? If any of these are an issue, please send supporting evidence.
- The report suggests a classification of existing MSPs in broad clusters, in order to better identify specific challenges and concrete recommendations for each category. Do you find this approach useful for identifying specific policy responses and actions?
- The report suggests a methodology, and key criteria, to describe and assess existing MSPs. Are there other assessment tools and methodologies that should be referenced in the report?
- The report has identified some of the main potential and limitations of MSPs, with regard to other non-multistakeholder processes. Do you think that there are other key challenges/opportunities that need to be covered in the report?
- The last Chapter analyzes the internal factors and enabling environment that could contribute to enhance the performance of MSPs in improving and financing FSN. Could you provide specific examples of successful or unsuccessful policies and programmes designed to shape such enabling environment that could contribute to illustrate and strengthen the Chapter?
We thank in advance all the contributors and we look forward to a rich and fruitful consultation on this early draft of the report.
The HLPE Project Team and Steering Committee.

Dear Colleagues,
I attach a response to this draft from the CGIAR System Organisation.
The comment is structured according to the 6 Questions raised by the HLPE for this e-consultation. I hope that these observations are useful in contributing to strengthening the next version of this important report.

Thank you HLPE project team for such an enormous task you accomplished. My only contribution is regarding promotion of bee farming or honey production, as it may. This industry has potential to contribute directly to improved nutrition through domestic consumption of the honey and income generation through honey sales. To promote the industry, land that is not suitable for agricultural production and has been left fallow over years in Africa could be turned into bee farms. Disused mining land could also be turned into massive bee farms. There are a number of possibilities within bee farming for smallholder farming households in Africa.
Dear HLPE
Thank you for giving us a chance to give give feed-back and input into this report.
Although it is clearly defined, we at Active Remedy believe that far greater emphasis needs to be given to the fresh water element of the FSN section of this report, as this underpins all long-term outcomes and success. A great many FAO Reports have identified and recommended this approach throughout the last 20 or more years.
“The concept of “water for FSN” designates water’s direct and indirect contributions to food security and nutrition in its four dimensions. It covers safe drinking water and sanitation, water used to produce, transform, and prepare food, as well as the contribution of water uses in all sectors to livelihoods and income and as such to food accessibility.
“Ensure sustainable management and conservation of ecosystems for the continued availability, quality and stability of water for FSN”
http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/hlpe/hlpe_documents/HLPE_Reports/HLPE-Report-11_EN.pdf
“Water is a renewable resource. Although the amount of precipitation falling on the land surface is highly variable in space in time, rainfall can be relied on to replenish reservoirs, the soil profile and aquifers. So water is unlike other natural resources that can be fully depleted (e.g. oil and gas).” (FAO, Coping with water scarcity, 2008)
http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3015e/i3015e.pdf
“Ensure continued availability, quality and stability of water for FSN through the conservation and sustainable management of landscapes and ecosystems, across biomes, including by using the ecosystem approach of the Convention on Biological Diversity.”
http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/user_upload/hlpe/hlpe_documents/HLPE_Reports/HLPE-Report-11_EN.pdf
If this crucial area is given greater priority and focus is given to securing and restoring the ecosystems, which maintain the global water cycle, then finances will be naturally created.
“Forests perform vital ecosystem services, including the regulation of the water and carbon cycles and protection of biodiversity, that are essential to sustainable food production and FSN in the long term.”
“Given their important role in water supply and regulation, the protection, sustainable management and restoration of mountain ecosystems will be essential.” (UNESCO, 2013,Climate Change impacts on Mountain Regions of the World.)
http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0022/002246/224605M.pdf
Otherwise even more finances and effort will be lost in continuously trying to deal with the on going damage and loss brought about by water scarcity issues and related disasters.
“FAO’s primary goals in implementing ecosystem-based approaches to land and water management are to equip society and governments with tools to asses, value, enhance and maintain the benefits of ecosystem services; to empower those in charge and users of ecosystems to better maintain and restore ecosystem services; and to strengthen governance for ecosystem approaches support through dialogue and policy actions, including the recognition of the rights of local communities and their knowledge systems.” ” (FAO Submission to the UNFCCC in the areas of ecosystems under the Nairobi work programme, 2016)

Active Remedy Ltd has created a ground plan for fast effective reforestation efforts throughout the world’s mountain regions. This considers FSN for local communities, improving ecosystem conditions and the reduction of poverty for about 25% of the worlds population. Also it is an inexpensive and effective cost saving method in real terms.

Thank you for your attention and consideration
Thanks for providing us an opportunity to access and comment on this very important report prepared by the HLPE.
The report no doubt will be an important means to bring all of us together to address the issue of Food Security,by helping us to understand the need for having the right kind of MSPs,willing to work together, over a considerable period of time,in a sustained manner to achieve the well-defined objectives and common public interest of ensuring FOOD Security, by overcoming all challenges.
Given below are the few comments and observations,we wish to share or raise
1) The need to consider and re-examine many more ways or basis of forming the clusters of MSPs, than just the once defined in the draft report.
For example it's very important to understand the driving force or the reason behind the formation of MSPs and absence of any power dynamics ( due to status,funds,etc.)so that all Partners have a good understanding and consensus about the common goal (public interest )and have the freedom and faith to work in harmony.
2) Page 48 of the draft report ,highlights Figure 3- MSPs for FSN: a logic model .
Here we wish to suggest that few important activities are to be included in the ACTIVITY column,like
Revival of good cultural and traditional knowledge and practices across borders to redefine our consumption patterns and to minimize food wastages.
Re-examination of present lifestyle and shift to sustainable lifestyle through behavioural change as part of energizing and empowering activities.
Optimal ulitization or management of available resources ( natural,capital,financial and Human)
Capacity building and training shoud be a specific part of Enabing activities
Communication and Cultural bonding as part of Engaging activities
3) It is also to be emphasised here that a special reference to the 10YFP Sustainable Food System (SFS) Programme, be made in the report.
Though being a relatively new MSP, 10YFP SFS programme has proven to be efficient it number of ways, in particular in pooling existing resources and promoting new partnerships and synergies. It is one of the most inclusive MSP in relation to FSN at the global level, with mixed government / non-government co-leadership and an advisory committee composed of five stakeholder clusters and that strives for regional balance.
In addition, the 10YFP SFS Programme’s mandate is based on the Rio+20 outcome document, and the Programme reports to ECOSOC and the High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). The implementation of the 10YFP itself is enshrined in SDG 12.1.
Hence, it's important that the 10YFP SFS Programme be included as a key example of an MSP in the area of FSN in this report.
Please excuse the delay in submitting our comments.Hope our submission are helpful in some way.
Thanks and best wishes ,
Dear HLPE Team,
Thanks for the great work you are championing on MSPs. We are convinced the outcome of the consultations and the final report will significantly contribute to realising the objectives of the 10FYP and FNS in the world.
In addition to ICED's case study (see attachment) and proposal that we learn from the Market Oriented Agricultural Project being financed by the European Union (EU), the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Government of the Republic of Ghana, we also wish to suggest that it may be useful to glean useful insights from the below references on multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable agriculture:
