Mereka juga menyambut baik beberapa inisiatif global, regional dan nasional untuk ketahanan pangan seperti yang dibuat Sekretaris Jenderal PBB Global Crisis Response Group on Food, Energy and Finance, serta Bank Dunia dan IMF dalam tanggapan ketahanan pangan.
Global Agriculture and Food Security Program?
Launched by the G20 in the wake of the global response to the 2007–08 food price crisis, GAFSP works to build resilient and sustainable agriculture and food systems in low-income countries, in times of crisis and beyond. We provide countries, agribusinesses, and smallholder farmers with financial and technical resources to design and implement projects across the food value chain, from ‘farm to table’.
As the world faces multiple and overlapping stresses and shocks – pushing millions of people, including smallholder farmers, deeper into hunger and food insecurity – GAFSP’s mandate is now more relevant than ever.
GAFSP provides grants to low-income countries to support national agricultural and food security investment plans that governments developed with farmers, agribusinesses, technical experts, and civil society organizations. These grants typically range in size from US$5-50 million and support innovative public and private sector activities focused on smallholders.
As of December 2021, our public sector portfolio had financed over $1.5 billion to 75 country-led projects in 47 countries
GAFSP launched the Missing Middle Initiative (MMI) pilot in 2016 to provide funding and technical assistance to farmers’ organizations, producer organizations, and small and medium enterprises. Now, five years after successfully testing the MMI model and learning from the experience, GAFSP is providing small-scale grants directly to producer organizations to help them meet the demand for agricultural financing.
Why?
Confronting global food insecurity must begin with smallholder farmers. Respecting their agency and strengthening their capacity are essential to ensuring sustainable and secure livelihoods for all.
How?
GAFSP provides small-scale grants for projects that are designed and led by farmers’ and producer organizations, together with an implementing agency partner of choice.
What?
GAFSP provided $15.9 million to five pilot projects in Mali, Senegal, Uganda, Rwanda, and Bangladesh. In 2021, GAFSP allocated $30 million to 12 producer organization-led projects.
