In April 2022, the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development released a white paper to provide global donors with options to transform our food systems, to make them more resilient and sustainable. Global donors have a critical leveraging role in catalysing food systems change and this paper attempts to provide clear directions, under seven action areas to focus their attention and efforts.
A high-level event to discuss how donors can collectively respond to the skyrocketing food prices and the conflict in Ukraine. The Platform's white paper on "Transforming Food Systems - Directions for Enhancing the Catalytic Role of Donors" was presented as a menu of options for donor engagement in food systems transformation.
