The programme aims at supporting the implementation of their respective HGSF programmes, benefitting from the knowledge and expertise of a wide range of partners in the Global South. Whilst these five countries are provisionally identified as the initial set of participants, the RBA aim at expanding the programme to respond to increasing country demands. This session at the Thematic Solution Forum (TSF) of the Global South-South Development (GSSD) Expo will enable the RBA to officially launch this RBA SSTC initiative by facilitating a dialogue between Member States, UN Agencies, and partners on how HSGF programmes can support achieving food security and nutrition for all, especially in the context of the global food crisis. -

Under the framework of its Regional Network on Nutrition-sensitive Food System, FAO Regional Office for Near East and North Africa (FAORNE) is co-organizing a special virtual event on “Harnessing local agriculture production system for healthy diets” - Sharing experiences between Asia, Africa and the Near East”, with FAO Regional Offices for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP) and for Arica (FAORAF). The meeting will take place virtually and it is expected to have leaders and experts from different regions to share and learn on science and research based solutions, innovation and technology in agriculture to ensure access to affordable, safe and nutritious diets for all. It will also discuss science based effective multistakeholder policies and investments that can harness potential of agriculture production system to deliver healthy diet. The meeting will explore opportunities for collaborative work between three regional offices on nutrition-sensitive food system.
