Invitation to an open discussion on the ICN2 Framework for Action zero draft to implement the Rome Declaration on Nutrition
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), in cooperation with IFAD, IFPRI, UNESCO, UNICEF, World Bank, WFP, WTO and the High Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis (HLTF), are jointly organizing the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), a high-level inter-governmental conference at FAO Headquarters, Rome, from 19 to 21 November 2014. More information is available at: www.fao.org/ICN2 and www.who.int/mediacentre/events/meetings/2014/international-conference-nutrition/en/.
A Preparatory Technical Meeting was held in Rome, 13-15 November 2013 that drew upon a series of regional conferences and technical background papers and other relevant documents and analyses as well as from three online thematic discussions (Social protection to protect and promote nutrition; Nutrition-enhancing agriculture and food systems; and The contribution of the private sector and civil society to improve nutrition).
Taking into consideration of the outcomes of the Preparatory Technical Meeting and following the mandate received from FAO and WHO Governing Bodies, the Member States of FAO and WHO have been discussing and reviewing a draft Declaration and an accompanying Framework for Action (FFA) to guide its implementation.
To follow up on two rounds of online discussions on the draft Declaration held earlier this year, we would now like to receive your comments and inputs on the zero draft of the Framework for Action (FFA) available in the six UN languages. This open consultation will give you, as stakeholders, an opportunity to contribute to the Conference and to its outcome.
The comments received will be compiled by the Joint FAO/WHO ICN2 Secretariat and will be used to further revise the Framework for Action (FFA), ultimately helping to ensure the success of the Conference.
We invite you to access the document here (AR, EN, ES, FR, RU, ZH) and to share your observations focusing on the set of questions formulated below.
Questions:
- Do you have any general comments on the draft Framework for Action?
- Do you have any comments on chapter 1-2?
- Do you have any comments on chapter 3 (3.1 Food systems, 3.2 Social Protection; 3.3 Health; 3.4 International trade and investment)?
- Do you have any comments on chapter 4-5?
- Does the Framework for Action adequately reflect the commitments of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition, and how could this be improved?
- Does the Framework for Action provide sufficient guidance to realize the commitments made?
- Are there any issues which are missing in the draft Framework for Action to ensure the effective implementation of the commitments and action to achieve the objectives of the ICN2 and its Declaration?
We thank you in advance for your interest, support and efforts, and for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
We look forward to your contributions.
Joint FAO/WHO ICN2 Secretariat

Bonjour, merci pour l'opportunité de consultation ouverte.
Ci-dessous mes commentaires:
1. Avez-vous des commentaires généraux à formuler sur le projet de Cadre d'action ? Cadre d'actions assez cohérent et bien articulé
· Avez-vous des commentaires à formuler sur les chapitres 1 et 2 : N/A
· Avez-vous des commentaires à formuler sur le chapitre 3 : (3.1 Systèmes alimentaires - 3.1.1. Environnements alimentaires: il je suggère un autre point spécifique sur "informer/communiquer sur les normes alimentaires ou nutritionnelles fixées" ou sinon l'inclure à chaque fois sur les lignes où il est mentionné l'établissement de normes, parce que une chose est qu'on fixe des normes et une autre est que les consommateurs, utilisateurs et autres en soient bien informés ; 3.3 Santé - 3.3.4. Education nutritionnelle : je suggère que les recommandations pour l'éducation nutritionnelle soient bien identifiées en Actions prioritaires pour les programmes d'éducation nutritionnelle en milieu scolaire, la communication pour le changement de comportement des consommateurs/utilisateurs dans le gaspillage alimentaire, et pour les pertes post-récolte )
· Avez-vous des commentaires à formuler sur les chapitres 4 et 5 ? N/A
2. Le Cadre d'action reflète-t-il de façon adéquate les engagements contractés dans la déclaration de Rome sur la nutrition, et que suggérez-vous pour améliorer cet aspect ? Tout a été mentionné, cependant certains bien approfondis et documentés pour des actions concrètes, d'autres sont restées superficielles (exemple des lignes d'actions prioritaire pour l'éducation nutritionnelle et des efforts pour réduire les pertes après récolte et les gaspillages)
3. Le Cadre d'action fournit-il assez d'orientations pour matérialiser les engagements contractés ? : A mon sens , Oui!
4. Y a-t-il des éléments manquants dans le projet de Cadre d'action pour garantir la mise en œuvre effective des engagements et des mesures à adopter pour parvenir aux objectifs de la CIN2 et de sa Déclaration ? : Voir nos commentaires et inclure les plus pertinents
Merci.

Dear friends at FAO,
You launched an e-consultation on this new document. Here is my contribution:
1. Do you have any general comments on the draft Framework for Action? Yes I do. Plenty.
· Do you have any comments on chapter 1-2?
The Introduction can be significantly shortened by referring to the Political Declaration where the content can be found already. No need to repeat.
· Do you have any comments on chapter 3 (3.1 Food systems, 3.2 Social Protection; 3.3 Health; 3.4 International trade and investment)?
I feel the introductions to 3.1 through 3.4 again are too wordy and repetitive of the Declaration.Suggest cutting with references to the Declaration.
A framework for action must go more directly to points of action expected of members states and particularly of public interest civil society organizations. Crisp is best.
As regards the priority actions recommended, nothing less than a paragraph by paragraph critique will do justice to the draft 0. It is often totally unclear whom the recommendations are made to... This being a framework for action its recommendations must be more precise --which they are not thus allowing for interpretation and loopholes. We went through that already in 1992!
So I have spent the hours needed to do the para by para review. See attached. Such a detailed analysis I think is needed for the JWG to get a feedback on their own text and to (hopefully) consider amendments.
· Do you have any comments on chapter 4-5?
Chapter 4 is unacceptably not human rights based. To enforce accountability, both rights holders and duty bearers need to understand what accountability is in the context of the right to food. Nothing is said about the massive HR learning that will be needed for this. I have made pointed comments on this in the text itself.
Chapter 5 on recommendations for follow up is weak to the point of only caricaturizing the role of public interest civil society in giving f/u to ICN2; we know little comes from top-down. Moreover, not a word is said about steps towards the progressive realization of the RTF. This is unconcionable in 2014 coming from a document to be backed by UN agencies.
2. Does the Framework for Action adequately reflect the commitments of the Rome Declaration on Nutrition, and how could this be improved?
Difficult for me to say since I expressed in writing my serious concerns about the contents of the Political Declaration in this same FAO forum. (Given the shortcomings of this Framework, I would say, yes, it reflects the shortcomings of the Political Declaration). Improvements will have to address a good number of the critiques that I make and others will be making in this forum. Will the JWG listen? (Our experience with the Political Declaration seems to indicate not).
3. Does the Framework for Action provide sufficient guidance to realize the commitments made?
To me, clearly not --and I point this out in many a place in the attached.
4. Are there any issues which are missing in the draft Framework for Action to ensure the effective implementation of the commitments and action to achieve the objectives of the ICN2 and its Declaration?
Many, many. They can be found in blue font in the attached so they are easy to find.

Dear friends, I do not see why a critique has to be a collection of niceties. With so little time left, I do think that one has to be direct --as much as it may hurt: Calling a spade a spade; asking incisive questions. I just want to assure you that no disrespect is intended from my part when I sometimes use mordent language. I know the JWG has worked hard and I salute them, the question is with what level of in-house expertise on these complicated issues, especially as relates to human rights and the RTF.
Worried,
Claudio Schuftan
Please consider the following points to be added in FFA
Hola!! quisiera que en el documento del marco de acción se tomara en cuenta a las comunidades de pueblos originarios quienes son los que siguen resistiendo en la producción como agricultores familiares que a pesar de los diferentes cambios, sociales, políticos, económicos siguen produciendo desde sus lugares aportando a los estados desde sus organizaciones como sus conocimientos, saberes para el desarrollo territorial.
En la educación nutricional el rol de los pueblos originarios es muy importante ya que muchos de los productos que son autóctonos del lugar y que tienen muchos nutrientes no son consumidos por la sociedad.
Hay que trabajar la alimentación territorialmente, falta más trabajo o mas participación en las políticas públicas de las diferentes organizaciones sociales, comunidades de pueblos originarios, etc.
