Civil Society Organizations
Civil society organizations have been instrumental in shaping ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç’s 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 ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç’s work.
Civil society is formally represented in ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç’s Steering Committee. The three civil society seats on ÂÒÂ׺£½Ç’s Steering Committee—representing Africa, Asia, and OECD countries—are currently held by:
