Resumen
Descripción
Many of the world’s poorest and most food insecure people live in mountain regions, which are some of the most fragile ecosystems on earth. A sustainable and integrated economy needs to be developed in mountain areas, which can promote and foster the well-being of local communities, granting access to a decent quality of life, reducing hunger, poverty and outmigration. However, current levels of cooperation and funding for development and conservation activities in mountains are inadequate. Against this background, the project supported the Mountain Partnership Secretariat (MPS), whose central coordinating unit is hosted at FAO, to establish an inclusive, multistakeholder platform for initiatives related to sustainable mountain development, and provide a more integrated, cohesive and harmonized mechanism, in order to stimulate stronger engagement and support from concerned member countries and mobilize additional resources.
