Multistakeholder Partnerships to Finance and Improve Food Security and Nutrition in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda - HLPE e-consultation on the Report’s scope, proposed by the HLPE Steering Committee
During its 43rd Plenary Session (17-21 October 2016), the CFS requested the HLPE to produce a report on “Multistakeholder Partnerships to Finance and Improve Food Security and Nutrition in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda” to be presented at CFS45 Plenary session in October 2018.
As part of its report elaboration process, the HLPE is launching an e-consultation to seek views and comments on the following scope and building blocks of the report, outlined below, as proposed by the HLPE Steering Committee.
Please note that in parallel to this scoping consultation, the HLPE is calling for interested experts to candidate to the Project Team for this report. The Project Team will be selected by end of March 2017 and will work from April 2017 to June 2018. The call for candidature is open until 31 January 2017; visit the HLPE website www.fao.org/cfs/cfs-hlpe for more details.
Proposed draft Scope of the HLPE Report
by the HLPE Steering Committee
Multistakeholder partnerships (MSPs) combine resources and expertise of different actors, which has made them attractive as a way to address complex issues that cannot easily be solved by a single actor. MSPs are identified in SDG 17 (in particular articles 17.6 and 17.7) as a central tool in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. They will be key in sharing experiences, technologies, knowledges, and in mobilising domestic and foreign, public and private resources, in line with the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) and with the CFS principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food systems (CFS-RAI).
The report shall explore the notion of multistakeholder partnerships related to food security and nutrition, looking at both processes and outcomes. The report shall assess the effectiveness of MSPs in realizing their objectives, in financing and improving FSN outcomes, as well as their contribution to the governance of food systems. The report shall suggest methods to map the different categories of MSPs, and criteria to assess them against the objective of improving their contribution to FSN in the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
The report shall address the following questions:
- Who are the stakeholders in food security and nutrition? What are the interests and motivations of each stakeholder? How to attract and retain partners? What are their various levels of responsibility?
- How to define “multistakeholder partnership” for food security and nutrition? What are the existing types of partnerships for financing and improving food security and nutrition? What are the tensions between the nature of these stakeholders and the functions of the partnerships?
- What are the goals, effectiveness, impact and performance of various forms of MSPs in reaching FSN objectives, in the context of the 2030 Agenda? What criteria, indicators, qualitative or quantitative approaches and methodologies could be used to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability, and value added for different types of MSPs?
- To what extent do existing MSPs influence national, regional and international policies and programmes for FSN?
- What are the potential controversies related to MSPs?
- What are/should be the respective roles and responsibilities of public, private stakeholders and civil society in such partnerships? What should be the respective contributions of each in the financing and improvement of FSN?
- How to ensure to all stakeholders a “fair” representation in multistakeholder decision making process? How to ensure meaningful and effective participation of the people affected by the MSP, in the decision-making process, including in the setting and implementation of priorities?
- How to improve MSPs in order to better implement the SDGs and improve FSN? What incentives mechanisms and legal and financial tools could be the most effective, efficient in this perspective? How the choice of the tools impact on the governance and on the effectiveness of MSPs?
Do these questions correctly reflect the main issues to be covered?
Are you aware of references, examples, success stories, innovative practices and case studies that could be of interest for the preparation of this report? What are the existing MSPs related to FSN that you consider more relevant and why?
The report shall provide a concise and focused review of the evidence-base, coming from diverse forms of knowledge and suggest concrete recommendations directed to different categories of stakeholders, in order to contribute to the design of policies, initiatives and investments required for MSPs to contribute to successfully finance and implement the 2030 Agenda.
On the basis of the analysis, the report will identify the conditions of success of MSPs and elaborate concrete, actionable, actor-oriented policy recommendations to fuel CFS policy discussions in October 2018.

We look forward to a rich and fruitful consultation.

Dear FSN Forum,
Attached please find my comments to the scope draft, highlighted in blue.

Para financiar y mejorar la seguridad alimentaria en el contexto de los países de américa latina, es necesario partir de la base de mejorar la inclusión financiera especialmente en sector rural. Muchos campesinos no tienen una cuenta bancaria la cual es fundamental para acceder diferentes tipos de incentivos institucionales y crédito para cultivos. La cobertura e infraestructura de servicios de internet es escasa en el campo y limita también el acceso a información relevante tanto para la producción como para acceso a políticas de incentivos.
A nivel de instituciones financieras debe desarrollarse un sistema de micro créditos especialmente para cubrir el agro. Gran parte de los campesinos requiere financiamiento por cantidades muy pequeñas que el sistema bancario actual no cubre y no se adapta a estas necesidades, a excepción de pequeñas entidades financieras.
Finalmente, para contribuir a la seguridad alimentaria también debería existir políticas públicas e incentivos en el uso de semillas mejoradas y certificadas, acceso a tecnologías de riego y conexión directa con los canales de comercialización.
I want to draw your attention to the recently completed research by SPRING on the influence of multi-sectoral nutrition plans (and the stakeholders who implement them) on nutrition activity prioritization and financing. Our findings on the drivers (or motivation) of change, including multi-sectoral coordination, advocacy, ownership, and identity among other things, could be quite useful to answering the questions laid out for this report.
Please find these reports at our website (www.spring-nutrition.org/pbn) or in the latest supplement in Food and Nutrition Bulletin (http://fnb.sagepub.com/content/37/4_suppl.toc), alongside similarly relevant research from our colleagues at Nutrition Innovation Lab.
Finally, other colleagues on SPRING have done some formative work on coordination and integration specifically for agriculture and nutrition programs - this work can be found here: https://www.spring-nutrition.org/technical-areas/ag-nut/agriculture-and…

Criteria of Project Farmers’ Selection
· Farmers should be progressive and educated
· Farmers should be innovative
· Farmers should be cooperative
· Farmers should be participatory
· Farmers should be hard working
· Farmers should have leadership capacity
Farmers are not so aware about the rapid change in agricultural technology and information. For them to keep track of these rapid changes, extension will play a big role in terms of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) development. To strengthen the capacity of small-scale farmers, it is necessary to integrate the following factors: agricultural credit, production inputs and organized marketing strategies through a comprehensive agricultural extension programme.
The technology disseminated must meet the needs of farmers and has to be modified and adapted to the farmers’ condition in each locality to make it more appropriate and relevant. KAP development must build upon farmers as the learning base for enhanced capacity building. Farmers need to participate in the development of work plan to adopt a new innovation.
The best way to better implement the SDGs is by giving education and awareness to stake holders involved. Food security is a multi factorial factor with multiple stake holders and everyone should be brought on one table to bring a effective strategy and to implement it for beneficial results.
Research & development is a dedicated job in the greater interest of others. I sure when you do the job for the prosperity of other people, you will get own prosperity in the return. When I started work on postharvest technology in 1992 people did not take interest in it because mostly people earn higher degrees as a cosmetic of basic education. Now I am seeing people just write a thesis or a scientific paper with a word "postharvest" and try to prove they know each and every thing. Being a postharvest technologist I feel it is not good and does not favor the task. Postharvest starts journey from commodity maturity level and end at processing. During this travelling many stations come and each and every station has its own requirements for specific time. This is known as postharvest technology of specific commodity.
