Descripción
Since its creation, the Economic Cooperation Organization has identified food security as one of the primary concerns of its member states. The Organization’s ministerial meeting in 2002 requested the formulation of a regional agricultural development and food security strategy in collaboration with FAO. With the agreement in 2010 by the Economic Cooperation Organization to establish a Regional Coordination Centre for Food Security, member countries felt it necessary to address food insecurity in the region by coordinating efforts across national boundaries in order to share experiences and expertise and seek international partnerships both within and outside the region. Under the framework of the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme (FTPP) funded by the Government of the Republic of Turkey, the project was designed to help member countries of the Economic Cooperation Organization to strengthen coordinated efforts to address food insecurity and to share relevant knowledge, information and experience. In particular, the project aimed to establish the Economic Cooperation Organization ECO Regional Coordination Centre for Food Security, y (ECO-RCC), thereby facilitating the identification and prioritization of the main impediments to food security at national and regional levels.
