Published November 17, 2016, by Mologadi Makwela

The High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition has launched an eConsultation on the Draft V0 on Nutrition and food systems

At its 42nd session in October 2015, the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS) requested the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) to prepare a report on Nutrition and Food Systems. This report is expected to be presented at CFS 44 in October 2017.

As part of the process of elaboration of its reports, the HLPE is organizing a consultation to seek inputs, suggestions, and comments on the present V0 draft. This open e-consultation will be used by the HLPE to further elaborate the report, which will then be submitted to external expert review, before finalization and approval by the HLPE Steering Committee.

To participate to the e-consultation:

  1. See the introductory note from the HLPE Steering Committee
  2. Download the V0 Draft of the HLPE report
  3. Submit your comments through the eConsultation portal, or by clicking here.

Contributions are welcome in English, French and Spanish.

The eConsultation will run from 24 October to 5 December 2016
