Background
Within the framework of its 38 regional conference, FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean will conduct consultations (one online consultation and three sectorial consultations (of a hybrid nature) with non-state actors (NSAs): the Civil Society, Private Sector, and Scientific and Academic sector. These instances are expected to gather relevant information for the regional conference.
The FAO Regional Conference is an official forum where ministers of Agriculture and senior officials from the Member States of the region come together to discuss
challenges and priority issues related to food and agriculture, aiming to promote regional coherence in global policy matters. The Regional Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean will take place from March 18 to 22.
The role of non-state actors (NSAs) in the regional conference is to transparently contribute to the dialogue of countries with information, experiences, data, and knowledge from each of their sectors. These actors are represented by individuals and institutions from civil society, the private sector, and individuals from the academic and scientific community who are part of academic institutions in the region.
Prior to LARC38, there will be a space for consultation and dialogue between representatives of the private sector and FAO’s regional representative and technical leaders from the main working areas, on February 6th (between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. Chilean time). Additionally, a coordination session will take place (between 12:30 and 15:00 Chilean time) for private sector participants, which will serve to prepare a statement with the positioning of the sector, to be delivered to the member countries during the LARC38, and to define the names of those who will represent the sector within the conference itself in March 2024. To participate, either on-site or online, please register in the following link.
