    Good practices in building innovative rural institutions to increase food security 2012

    Continued population growth, urbanization and rising incomes are likely to continue to put pressure on food demand. International prices for most agricultural commodities are set to remain at 2010 levels or higher, at least for the next decade (OECD-FAO, 2010). Small-scale producers in many developing countries were not able to reap the benefits of high food prices during the 2007-2008 food price crises. Yet, this upward food price trend could have been an opportunity for them to increase t heir incomes and food security. The opportunity that high food prices could have provided as a pathway out of poverty for small producers was not realized.

    The WFP Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean and the FAO Subregional Office for Mesoamerica, both located in Panama, organized the "Workshop on Exchange of Experiences in Community Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security" in September 2016 in Colombia. The aim was to exchange knowledge, experiences and tools regarding the development, validation and systematization of good practices in the construction of resilience in order to benefit the implementation of them in the different countries. The meeting served as a platform to identify future collaboration points between participating countries and organizations. The meeting was attended by experts on resilience issues from national governments and partners from Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru and the Dominican Republic, as well as from FAO, WFP and other NGOs working in the theme of resilience. The meeting took place in La Guajira, Colombia, a region where FAO and WFP have joint programs. Following this meeting, FAO and PMA decided to publish a publication to systematize good practices in resilience promoted in 3 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, showing the role, responsibility and added value of each agency.
