DEVCO co-hosted with CONCORD this conference aiming at facilitating a multi-stakeholder dialogue between the EU, civil society, representatives from the EU Member States and the European Parliament on the relations amongst EU policies and programmes and their coherence with food and nutrition security objectives in developing countries.
The conference contributed to build stronger ties between all the stakeholders involved. It was the occasion for civil society and the EU to present their vision on food security challenges and share understanding on key issues. It also explored ways to establish regular occasions for information sharing and exchange among the stakeholders. See: Meeting Agenda
