No single government, organization or group can eliminate hunger on its own. FAO counts on the collaboration of world leaders, research organizations, farmers groups, charities and individual citizens to defend the rights of the world's citizens to be free from hunger.
FAO supports the International Alliance Against Hunger, which brings together the collective strength of all partners to end hunger. Country-level national alliances will form the basis of this effort. Already, more than 70 nations have expressed interest in forming these networks. Regional partnerships, such as the New Partnership for Africa's Development, and charities such as Caritas Internationalis, also have an important role to play.
FAO maintains close ties to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society groups, through the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC). Many NGOs are launching their own campaigns against hunger.
