Watch the recording
On 12 July, the Hub, the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the European Union, Mexico and South Africa will convene a side event at the UN Headquarters in New York. This event, “The catalytic role of policy integration and inclusive governance for food systems transformation and SDG acceleration”, will occur in Conference Room 9 from 13:15 to 14:30 (held in New York time).
The side event will feature experiences and innovative solutions on how countries, development partners and other stakeholders are putting the priorities of the Secratery-General Call to Action into practice. It will facilitate an exchange of participatory processes and the catalytic potential of policy tools grounded in the right to food, including those developed by CFS. It will focus on policy integration and implementation as well as inclusive governance mechanisms by providing a space for dialogue between different stakeholders on approaches to National Pathway operationalization and how they support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, and 13.
The side event objectives are to:
- Exchange lessons learned on developing and implementing integrated, multisectoral policies to enable food systems transformation towards achieving the SDGs.
- Share successful experiences of inclusive governance mechanisms at all levels, highlighting their role in supporting policy integration and ensuring a whole-of-society approach to food systems transformation.
- Demonstrate specific cases of countries having this inclusive multisector governance structure in place.
A UN event pass is required for attendance.
