Partnership with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) is inherent in the SPFS approach. The SPFS offers opportunities to compare and learn from the experiences of both FAO and CSOs in the field.

In some countries like Senegal, farmers' organizations have been involved from the earliest identification and planning phases, and CSOs are being subcontracted to implement specific activities.
