ProjectEnhancing Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems - GCP/INT/920/GER 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The achievement of the first two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the eradication of hunger and poverty by 2030, remains a significant challenge. It requires a significant increase in investment in agriculture and food systems. In some countries the investment gap is particularly important, including in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Liberia and Sierra Leone. In these countries, a big share of the population is employed in agriculture, yet the sector accounts for a disproportionally low percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) due to the lack of modernization and investment. Poverty and hunger are widespread, and increasing responsible investment in agriculture and food systems is among the most efficient strategies to tackle this. However, not all investments are equally beneficial and some may have significant negative impacts. It is therefore crucial to ensure that investments generate positive social, economic and environmental impacts. The overall objective of the project was to enhance responsible agricultural investment by strengthening the capacities of actors to create an enabling environment for the implementation of the Committee on World Food Security Principles for Responsible Investment in Agriculture and Food Systems (CFS-RAI) principles. -

Book (stand-alone)Screening for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems
Guidance and tools for government officials
2024Strong screening processes help to identify and avoid or mitigate risks associated with larger-scale investments in agriculture and food systems at the early stage of the investment assessment process before any commitment has been made, costs incurred, or harms suffered. They can also enable governments to identify and shape responsible projects, establish a country’s credibility as an investment destination with an effective enabling environment for responsible investment, establish good government – community – investor relationships, and lay the foundations for informed expectations and decisions about a proposed project. This publication seeks to unpack the “what, why, and how” of screening. Sections 1, 2, and 3 make up the “guidance” component of the publication and Annexes A and B contain a series of adaptable tools. These tools can be downloaded in Word and PDF formats below.
