Interviews
"ICARRD helped to bring the issues of agrarian reform and rural development back on the international agenda through participatory and multistakeholder approach."
In this interview, Parviz Koohafkan, Executive Secretary of the International Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (ICARRD), shares with us the main outcomes of the Conference and how he foresees its follow-up.
"In several countries, the national Thematic Groups of the UN System Network have worked along side the National Alliances. Being specialized platforms that group UN agencies and other actors working in specific food security issues and rural development, it makes sense that a strong synergy on the ground be sought."
In this interview, Mrs. Eva Clayton, former FAO Assistant Director General and Special Adviser on the World Food Summit Follow-up and Secretary of the International Alliance against Hunger (IAAH), shares the achievements made by the initiative, talks about the links between the Alliance with the UN System Network and makes recommendations to her successor as she steps down from her position in FAO.
