The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development has just launched a new Declaration of Intent on Food Systems Transformation. The Declaration signals the intention of the GDPRD and its members to work proactively and in a coordinated way to help take forward the outcomes of the UN Food Systems Summit.
All Board Members of the GDPRD (Australia, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, European Commission, Finland, France, Germany, IFAD, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Switzerland) have endorsed the Declaration, which will soon be open for endorsement by GDPRD members and partners.
The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development (GDPRD) organized a virtual round table that explored the actions donors can take to assist countries in their national pathways for food systems transformation.
The event, which followed Chatham House rules, provided an open discussion space on the opportunities and challenges for donors in helping to catalyze food systems change.
This GDPRD stocktaking report provides a mapping of the patterns and scale of food systems-related funding and an assessment of the extent donors are embracing a food system framing and aligning their investments to the UN Food Systems Summit Action Tracks.
The report provides an overview of the scale of food systems-related funding and actions currently supported by donors, contributing to one of the core objectives of the GDPRD’s engagement in the UN Food Systems Summit (UN FSS), which is to help optimize donor coordination and alignment.
