    World Pulses Day - Agenda (WPD 2023)
    Pulses for a Sustainable Future
    2023
    Also available in:
    The International Year of Pulses (IYP) helped to raise awareness on the importance of pulses. In order to continue heightening public awareness on the benefits of pulses, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), at its 73rd session in December 2018, endorsed the proposal made by Burkina Faso regarding the annual observance of the World Pulses Day on 10 February (A/RES/73/251). The UNGA invited the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to facilitate the observance of the World Pulses Day. Based on the benefits that pulses provide to agrifood systems and the environment, the Steering Committee selected “Pulses for a Sustainable Future” as the theme for the 2023 celebration.

    As an important UN agency, FAO is serious in embarking on the implementation of the UN reform including active participation in the UN coordination and collaboration mechanisms at HQ levels and the regional level. PSU has created a new unit, PSUU - UN collaboration, whose objective is to interface with the UN Sustainable Development Group and to strengthen UN collaboration at HQ, Regional, and country levels. One area of PSUU work is with the RBAs (Rome Based Agencies): FAO, IFAD, and WFP. FAO and IFAD are specialized UN agencies funded by their own respective Member States who form their governing bodies. WFP is the operational arm of the United Nations system for the provision of food assistance and a member of the United Nations Development Group with its own Executive Board of Member States.
