The results of this exercise will inform CFS policy development work on nutrition to align CFS efforts to foster global
policy convergence with identified gaps, country needs and realities, and contribute effectively to the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition.
A selection of the submitted experiences and examples will be compiled in a background document for discussion in the
CFS 44th Plenary meeting (CFS44) in Rome on 10 October 2017.
In the selection process, we will consider diversity in terms of geography, actors and perspectives, food systems, investments
and nutrition issues addressed. We will also consider the lessons learnt in terms of their relevance for policy making, the evidence of how nutrition outcomes changed or are expected to change alongside the extent to which the examples present lessons (positive
and negative) that could inform future investments. Examples jointly submitted by stakeholders are encouraged.
To make your contributions as relevant as possible, we would like to invite you to focus on:
·
Food systems: describe the food system your example belongs to, the nutrition challenges and inter-linkages and complementarities among the system’s
components;
·
Nutrition: describe how the example addresses nutrition issues in the context of the food system considered;
·
Investments: describe the investments and their objectives, as well as their intended and unintended outcomes, on nutrition in particular;
·
Inclusiveness: describe to which extent the investment considered was developed through a multi-stakeholder and participatory approach;
·
Learning: describe the lessons (positive and negative) that can be learned from your case and whether these could be replicable in contexts having
the same/similar characteristics and how gaps, obstacles and any other adverse conditions were addressed;
·
Diversity: describe the geographic scope and the different stakeholders involved in your example;
·
South-south or triangular collaboration: If applicable, describe whether the example has benefitted from a south-south or triangular cooperation
approach.
The call will be hosted on the
FSN Forum
where all submissions will be made available. The selected experiences and examples and the resulting background document will then be published on the CFS website.
The deadline for submissions is 5 May 2017.
Please use the submission
form (http://bit.ly/2nAitb1) to share
your examples and experiences.
You can upload the completed form to the
FSN Forum (http://bit.ly/2p1dvUw) or send
it via email to [log in to unmask].
This call is also available in
French and
Spanish and you are
welcome to share your contribution also in these two languages.

The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is the foremost inclusive international and intergovernmental platform for
all stakeholders to work together to ensure food security and nutrition for all. The Committee reports to the UN General Assembly and to FAO Conference. With a membership of 135 countries and using a multi-stakeholder, inclusive approach, CFS develops and
endorses evidence-based policy recommendations and guidance on a wide range of food security
and nutrition topics. CFS holds an annual plenary session every
October in FAO, Rome.
