Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

The Small Island Developing States (SIDS)  share unique and particular vulnerabilities, resulting in a complex set of environmental, food security and nutrition challenges. Learning from SIDS on how they cope with climate change related impacts in these respects, could be instrumental to not only other Small States but also to the rest of the world. The results gathered here will feed into an ongoing work to support countries to address the interrelation between poverty and climate change in coastal areas, coastal communities and SIDS.

With this online discussion, we would like to invite you to reflect on the nexus between extreme poverty and food insecurity.

While there is little doubt that hunger and poverty are closely linked, policies and interventions addressing hunger and extreme poverty are often sector-specific and look at either of the two problems.

During its 43^rd 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.

This online discussion invites you to reflect on the current understanding of gender dynamics of rural livelihoods and share information, views and experiences in preparation for the 62nd Commission on the Status of Women. The main objective is to highlight critical gaps and priority areas for action on how to accelerate gender transformative impacts for rural women.

We invite you to contribute to the identification of challenges and opportunities related to Nutrition-sensitive value chains (NSVC) development, the collaboration among partners, as well as identifying good practices and lessons learned from past or on-going NSVC experiences on the ground.
