The work of the Global Coordination Project is organized through four thematic support hubs, which help strengthen coordination, learning and delivery across the Food Systems Integrated Program. The hubs also support gender equality and social inclusion across the program, helping ensure that women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, small-scale producers and local communities can participate in and benefit from food systems transformation.
The hubs:
- Provide demand-driven guidance and support to country projects, including access to global best practices, tools and approaches for food systems transformation.
- Connect FSIP countries with food systems actors at national, regional and global levels, helping them access knowledge, investment and value chain opportunities.
- Mobilize support and engagement from public and private food systems actors to strengthen collective action across the program.
- Support alignment across country projects and target sectors, helping the program move from individual project results to impact at scale.
- Strengthen knowledge-sharing, communications, and outreach, ensuring that lessons, innovations, and results from country projects are shared across the program and incorporated into global dialogue.
Policy and Governance Hub
This Hub supports efforts to place food systems transformation on the agendas of national, regional and global policy fora. It helps ensure that policy frameworks are informed by science, evidence from the ground and inclusive dialogue.
The Hub also supports participating countries in strengthening and harmonizing national policy, legal and governance frameworks for sustainable food systems, and in aligning national action with global commitments.
Private Sector Engagement and Investment Hub
This Hub supports the development of investment pathways, financial services, value chain partnerships and innovative business models for food systems transformation.
It works to strengthen collaboration among public and private actors, helping mobilize resources, improve access to finance, and create stronger links between supply and demand for sustainable products.
Innovation and Technical Support for Landscape Level Interventions
This Hub provides demand-driven technical support to country projects working in target landscapes, farming systems, markets and value chains.
It supports integrated landscape management, farmer organization, participatory approaches, agri-tech and sustainable production practices. The Hub also contributes technical guidance and practical learning to communities of practice and learning exchanges, helping countries apply innovations that can be adapted and scaled across the program.
Management Support, Knowledge Management, M&E and Learning Hub
This Hub helps ensure that the program is managed effectively as a coherent global program. It supports country projects with tools and guidance on project management, knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation, stakeholder engagement, coordination, communications and outreach, and scaling of results.
The Hub also coordinates knowledge sharing across the FSIP portfolio, including communities of practice, learning exchanges and collaboration with research and knowledge institutions. It helps document and share lessons, innovations and country experiences so they can inform adaptive management, program-wide learning and global dialogue on food systems transformation.
