Descripción
FAO has played an important role in supporting the Colombian Government in the implementation of comprehensive rural development. Along with the European Union and civil society organizations, FAO has been asked by the Government to help implement the Peace Accord 1 regarding the Comprehensive Rural Reform. While the peace accord was not approved in the recent plebiscite, integrated rural reform remains as a priority government policy. The session will discuss the content of the Comprehensive Rural Reform (that was part of the Peace Agreement 1), strategies to promote comprehensive rural development and the role of FAO and other partners in supporting this process and scaling up ongoing related initiatives, with a view to strengthening the link between peace and food security. Consequently, the discussion will focus on the following themes: a. Access to land and tenure security and their relevance to build the nueva ruralidad in Colombia, particularly to strengthen family agricultur e and ultimately, promote food security. b. The integration of the Voluntary Guidelines into the new policy and institutional framework regarding land, forests and fisheries to promote the Comprehensive Rural Reform, including the strengthening of the National Land Agency. c. How the international community (i.e. the UN system, donors and partners) can effectively contribute to the development of the Comprehensive Rural Reform and of territorial development plans and ultimately, to strengthening peace in Colombia.
