Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC) is a pooled funding instrument, directing voluntary funds where and when they are needed most. This flexible funding has allowed financial resources to more efficiently and effectively support over 130 of FAO’s projects, focusing on initiatives ranging from women’s empowerment to sustainable agrifood systems. FAO FVC assists its partners in responding to development challenges in a timely manner, promoting innovative solutions and stronger partnerships. FVC-funded programmes align with FAO's four betters and Strategic Framework. Projects are chosen based on their innovative qualities and alignment with the four betters. This brochure introduces and further highlights the impact of FVC funding. It outlines the FVC instrument, presenting its function in a digestible format. The brochure includes explanations of FVC's relationship with the four betters, as well as examples of FVC-funded project stories. Ultimately, this brochure introduces readers to the FVC instrument, its rationale, and how funding is utilized.
