Civil Society Organizations
Civil society organizations have been instrumental in shaping ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s direction—helping to secure dedicated funding for farmers’ and producer organizations, guiding the inclusion of climate principles such as agroecology, and ensuring that smallholder perspectives are reflected in decision-making. Through regular regional consultations, civil society and farmer organizations bring field-level realities of agriculture, food security, and resilience into global policy and financing discussions, strengthening both the relevance and the impact of ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s work.
Civil society is formally represented in ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s Steering Committee. The three civil society seats on ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s Steering Committee—representing Africa, Asia, and OECD countries—are currently held by:
