Dear HLPE colleagues,
Please find attached WFP comments on the proposed draft scope of the HLPE Report on “Sustainable agricultural development for food security and nutrition, including the role of livestock”.
In particular, we would like to highlight the following general comments on the document:
- It would be helpful to include an introduction section prior to the context on the scope of the HLPE report, explaining what is within and outside of the scope of the report.
- It would be useful to document and provide an overview of other processes / reports / platforms, and overlap (if any) with the ongoing work of, for example, the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and explain the value added by this report.
- Access, affordability and needs should be considered for the role of livestock in nutrition, and opportunities for nutrition sensitive agriculture in addition to productivity gains should be explored.
Further comments are found in the attached. Kindly acknowledge receipt of this email.
Best Regards,
