SCN News No 23 - Civil Society and the UN system: Debate in the Food Security Arena

UN Standing Committee on Nutrition

Published in : 2001

Available in : English

This issue of SCN News focuses on the interface between NGOs/civil society and the UN system concerning food security. SCN News 23 tries to take stock of what has not happened since the World Food Summit (WFS) in 1996. The postponement of the WFS: five year later meeting gives us a good window of opportunity to focus on what are still unanswered questions and to engage in the much needed lobbying to, this time, obtain more meaningful commitments.
