Resumen
Descripción
FAO’s work in 2013 helped to advance the global agenda for cooperatives and producer organizations (POs). Situated between two milestone years – the 2012 International Year of Cooperatives (IYC) and the 2014 International Year of Family Farming (IYFF) –, this has been a crucial year to build on key findings and ensure that cooperatives and POs remain high on the global development agenda. In 2012, the spotlight was placed on raising awareness about the contribution of cooperatives and other form s of collective action in achieving food security, eradicating hunger and fostering social and economic development worldwide. In 2013, global efforts were geared towards consolidating those messages. FAO continues to seize upon the opportunities from the IYC and IYFF to raise awareness about the important roles that cooperatives and POs play as key partners for the UN system and for decision-makers worldwide, especially in the context of the post-2015 development agenda. At the same time, gover nments have a crucial role to play in providing the enabling environment for these organizations to form and develop.
