World Bank Fragility Forum: Building resilient agri-food systems in fragile contexts - What can we learn from an HDP and climate nexus perspective?

FAO is pleased to invite you to the hybrid event on "Building resilient agri-food systems in fragile contexts: what can we learn from an HDP and climate nexus perspective?", organized at the World Bank Fragility Forum 2024.

The session will engage partners in a discussion on 1) Building resilience to reduce hunger: how focusing on agri-food systems can help vulnerable households and communities, especially in fragile contexts such as Somalia and Afghanistan; and 2) Data for action: how evidence and data support adaptive learning and improve coordination in food security crises, linking short-term aid with long-term investments.

John Ulimwengu, Senior Research Fellow at International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
