Published in : 2008 Available in : English In view of the present global financial crisis, it is more important than ever to strengthen the development finance architecture, not only to limit the negative effects of the crises and to enable countries to respond effectively, but also to ensure that the internationally agreed development goals can be met without diverting either external or domestic resources away from ensuring food security. The key challenge is to secure adequate resources for the required long-term investments in agriculture and rural development. This will require a well-coordinated effort by the international community that needs to be sustained over an extended period of time.
