Descripción
With the world population estimated to reach nine billion by 2050, there is a significant strain on access to food, which must be increased if food security needs are to be met. Policy makers and government officials should be fully aware of the meaning and significance of the fundamental human right to adequate food, and ways to implement measures aiming at its full realization. There was an urgent need to address the absence of an institutional mandate and the lack of capacity of national stakeholders and resources to effectively protect and promote the right to food. In this context, assistance was provided to Mozambique, Bolivia, Nepal and El Salvador (2011-2015), as well as Cambodia, Senegal and Togo (2016-2017) in the interpretation and implementation of the Right to Food Guidelines, among other tools, from a practical perspective. A wide range of national stakeholders and institutions concerned with the right to food were involved in this process.
