Synopsis (short abstract) During the Global South-South Development (GSSD) Expo 2017 in Antalya, Turkey, the United Nations Rome-based agencies (RBAs) - namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) - emphasized that all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are interlinked, indivisible and interconnected, and that their approach to address these commitments must be multi-sectoral, requiring widespread strategic partnerships. This rationale informed the signature of the Joint RBAs Roadmap, in which the agencies committed to strengthen their collaboration to facilitate South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) for the effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda). This partnership leverages synergies and complementarities between the RBAs, as well as increases SSTC visibility. In light of the above, consultations at working and Directors’ levels are taking place regularly, creating the conditions for a more harmonized and structured collaboration.

Recognizing the urgency and importance of sharing lessons learned and leveraging its complementarities, the Rome-based Agencies (RBA) – FAO, IFAD and WFP – have come together to develop a joint SSTC programme aimed at responding to the demands of five countries – Kenya, Rwanda, the Philippines, Sao Tome e Principe and Senegal – all part of the Global School Meals Coalition. The programme aims at supporting the implementation of their respective HGSF programmes, benefitting from the knowledge and expertise of a wide range of partners in the Global South. Whilst these five countries are provisionally identified as the initial set of participants, the RBA aim at expanding the programme to respond to increasing country demands. This session at the Thematic Solution Forum (TSF) of the Global South-South Development (GSSD) Expo will enable the RBA to officially launch this RBA SSTC initiative by facilitating a dialogue between Member States, UN Agencies, and partners on how HSGF programmes can support achieving food security and nutrition for all, especially in the context of the global food crisis.

The Rome-based Agencies (RBAs), namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), are addressing this need through their work at different levels, building on their respective mandates and strengths. Examples include efforts to jointly promote SSTC in supporting family farming, creating opportunities for the rural youth, and empowering rural women for better access to markets. This brochure has been jointly developed to showcase concrete examples of how the RBAs promote South-South initiatives at the country level. Focusing on the theme of the joint celebration of the 2019 UN Day for South-South Cooperation, leaving no one behind in achieving SDG 2, the cases highlight opportunities to enhance collaboration in the fight against hunger and malnutrition to realize zero hunger by 2030.
