About the HLPE open e-consultations

Welcome to the electronic consultations of the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition.

Through this site, the HLPE seeks open feedback and contributions at different stages of elaboration of its reports. This entails two consultations per report: one at the scoping stage, and one based on the release of a preliminary, unapproved, draft version of the report (V0 draft). This is done to contribute to the transparency of the elaboration of the HLPE reports and its openness to all forms of knowledge from many actors (knowledge of local implementation, knowledge based on global research and knowledge of “best practice”) that draw on both local and global sources.
