The Global Donor Platform for Rural Development (GDPRD) and the Shamba Centre for Food & Climate will co-host a virtual seminar and discussion on the State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) Report 2024 – Financing to End Hunger Food Insecurity and Malnutrition in All Its Forms and its implications for donors and development partners.
With only six years until 2030, the report draws urgent attention to the need for governments, donors, the private sector and other actors to accelerate and scale up financing and investments towards ending hunger, malnutrition and food insecurity.
The report highlights the fragmented and siloed nature of the financing architecture and calls for a more holistic approach. A new definition of financing for food security and nutrition is provided to help guide future investments. The report offers a comprehensive set of recommendations for reform and the use of innovative financing tools. It calls for enhanced transparency, coordination and harmonization among different actors to improve the effectiveness and targeting of financing to achieve SDG 2 (Zero Hunger).
