FAO: More funds for new strategies - News: FAO | Devex: "Representatives of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization member states gathered in Rome this week to open the debate for the 2014-2015 budget as well as discuss innovative strategies to address food security, with a new role for African countries.
On the table for the debate — to be concluded by June, when the conference of member states will have to approve the budget — are a proposed 1 percent budget increase and reallocations of resources to strengthen technical cooperation and social protection initiatives.
But this is not only a forum but budget negotiations. Also up for discussion are innovative approaches to food security: a reviewed strategic framework, two new plans to engage the private sector and civil society, and a new role for the African countries.
“Based on the reform process, it is a more cohesive and participatory approach,” Ethiopia’s deputy permanent representative to FAO Abreha Aseffa told Devex."
