CFS invites stakeholders to share their experiences and good practices in applying the CFS-RAI to inform the GTE. This call is open until 15 April 2022.

Link to the Call

The CFS-RAI were developed by an Open Ended Working Group over the course of October 2012 – October 2014. They are based on an inclusive process of consultations that occurred from November 2013 – March 2014, as well as regional consultations and workshops held in several regions of the world. Consultations included governments, UN agencies, civil society and non-governmental organizations, international agricultural research institutions, private sector associations and private philanthropic foundations, and international and regional financial institutions.
