ProjectUN Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2): Building Global Momentum for Food Systems Transformation - MTF/SFE/006/IKF 2025

No results found.East Africa is faced with one of the world’s largest and fastest growing humanitarian and forced displacement crises. In this context, refugees living in Kenya and Uganda have some access to farmland and rights to work; however, many remain dependent on food aid, are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and struggle to integrate into their local communities. At the same time, local food companies are struggling to buy quality farm produce, and private-sector partners are often not present in displacement context or aware of potential opportunities that the refugee population may provide. Against this background, the overall goal of the project was to increase self-reliance of refugees and host communities through economic integration in agricultural value chains. The project was implemented within the partnership memorandum of understanding between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), jointly engaged in strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors in agricultural value chains to build long-term solutions that mitigate the negative effects of forced displacement, uplift refugees and support host communities. -

However, persistent global hunger, rising food insecurity and compounding challenges from climate change, conflict and economic crises were threatening the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recognizing the urgent need to maintain momentum for food systems transformation and address implementation gaps, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in collaboration with the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub and other Rome-based Agencies (RBAs), including the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Food Programme (WFP), undertook this project to organize the first United Nations Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2). Supported by the Government of Italy, the UNFSS+2 represented a pivotal moment to drive progress toward the 2030 Agenda, under the theme "Sustainable Food Systems for People, Planet, and Prosperity: Diverse Pathways in a Shared Journey." -
