The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the
Addis Ababa Action Agenda encouraged the use of multistakeholder partnerships (MSPs) to complement the
efforts of national governments and intergovernmental
organizations in ending hunger and poverty and achieving
sustainable development. In this context, MSPs are gaining
traction, as a part of a new approach to governance, and as
a topic for science. Yet, evidence and data are still limited
and quickly evolving.
This report highlights transparency and accountability as key conditions: to align MSPs’ work with the progressive realization of the right to adequate food; to better use existing resources for FSN and sustainable development; and even to potentially attract new resources. This report also suggests a set of criteria to enable governments and non-state actors to perform their own assessments of MSPs following a common methodology, as well as pathways to improve their contribution to financing and improving FSN.
