FAO as one of the leading UN development agencies can create a platform to enable regular interation with CSOs under different themes / SDGs of interest. This will enable regular (deliberate) sharing of ideas with CSOs. CSOs are at the frontline of development, but increasingly under spaces that are reducing.
FAO as a Partner ought to speak out in this negative trend, pointing out the implications of this on achievements made on different fronts including SDGs
FAO also needs to promote and share technology that can offset climate change, unsustainable practices like forest degradation. For example, FAO is well placed to highlight these practices to other areas of need and support technology transfer to make this happen
