Parliamentarians are fundamental custodians of political commitments on food security and nutrition; therefore critical partners in achieving food and nutrition security. FAO is supporting Parliamentarians as follows: 

• Facilitating the sharing of information such as good practices on legal frameworks and public policies,  among others;
• Providing support to Members of Parliament on the development of legislation and public policies;
• Providing technical information, including statistics, on relevant issues of food security to support the measures taken by the respective Parliamentary body;
• Providing capacity building for Parliamentarians on key issues of food and nutrition security;
• Facilitating linkages amongst Parliamentarians and Parliamentary bodies through exchanges (e.g. South-South cooperation) as required.
