Whether you are planning to attend CFS52 in person in Rome or to watch it online, you are welcome to join ICLEI, FAO and GAIN for an exciting session on the importance of multi-stakeholder governance for an effective transformation of urban food systems.
Building on successful examples of inclusive governance at local level (city of Lusaka, city of Courbevoie), the session will move to the global level to give an insight at the newly formed alliance of urban food systems actors which will bring together local and national governments, city networks, NGOs, UN agencies and other international organizations, to foster collective action on the transformation of urban food systems.
Speakers will include:
- Corinna Hawkes, Director, Division of Food Systems and Food Safety, FAO
- Zhimin Wu, Director, Forestry Division, FAO
- Grace Kaziya, Director, Department of Housing and Social Services, City of Lusaka (Zambia)
- Abel Dabula, Mozambique Programme Director, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition
