Consultations are primarily held online, at key stages of the report development process, specifically on the scope of the report and on the first draft or version 0 draft (V0 draft). V0 drafts are deliberately shared early enough in the process – as work in progress, with their range of imperfections – to ensure transparency and allow ample time to consider the contributions received and foster meaningful dialogue.
In-person consultations can also be organized when appropriate in specific cases, to encourage direct dialogue and broader engagement. These consultations are a vital part of the HLPE-FSN’s inclusive and knowledge-based approach, enabling engagement of members and participants of CFS and of the wider scientific and knowledge community and the incorporation of diverse forms of knowledge and expertise.
The HLPE-FSN invites experts, practitioners, policymakers, and all interested stakeholders to explore the consultations and contribute their insights to help shape the global narrative on food security and nutrition.
The HLPE-FSN draws its studies based on existing research and knowledge already conducted by various expertise-providing institutions and adding value by global, multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary analysis, and translates the richness and variety of forms of expert knowledge from many actors that draw on both local and global sources, into policy-related forms of knowledge.
