Strategic Investments for Resilient Agrifood Systems: Driving SDG Progress through Partnerships
Co-organized by the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Global Donor Platform for Rural Development, the Asian Development Bank (AIIB), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
This is an official off-site side event of the 2026 ECOSOC Partnership Forum. The aim is to demystify the roles of each sector – public, private and multilateral actors – in financing agrifood systems through a coordinated and field-tested process. A follow-up policy guide will be developed, synthesizing recommendations for integrated SDG action.
The 2026 ECOSOC Partnership Forum will take place on 27 January 2026 at the UN Headquarters in New York under the theme “Transformative, equitable, innovative and coordinated actions for the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs for a sustainable future for all”. The Forum will place a special emphasis on the Sustainable Development Goals under in-depth review at the 2026 high-level political forum on sustainable development (HLPF), namely Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 9 (Industry Innovation and Infrastructure), Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
