About the Food and Nutrition Security Community
The space created by Food and Nutrition Security Community (FNS) hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is a first of its kind forum of the development practitioners to share knowledge, seek solutions to everyday challenges, clarify doubts, throw up new ideas and have a open discourse on country’s key developmental challenges and processes. The forum also fosters focused and constructive collaborations and facilitates live networking.
The community aims to:
- Become internationally acknowledged as key forum for development practitioners to connect and collaborate
- Catalyze collaborative efforts to have a demonstrable impact on MDG and national development targets
- Establish a publicly available “knowledge repository” for storing and accessing solution to day to day issues and challenges
