A Decade of the CFS VGGT: Impacts and Opportunities for Scaling Up

27 May 2022.  10th Year Anniversary of the CFS Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (CFS VGGT) - "A Decade of the CFS VGGT: Impacts and Opportunities for Scaling Up"

As part of the 10th anniversary commemoration of the CFS VGGT, CFS and FAO jointly organized a high-level event to assess lessons learned over the past ten years; remind policy makers and stakeholders of the potential these guidelines hold; and to re-confirm political, policy and financial commitments to accelerate their further implementation.

• Increase visibility and celebrate progress and achievements on responsible governance of tenure - 10 years after the CFS VGGT’s adoption;
• Critically reflect on obstacles encountered globally on VGGT’s uptake, political and economic challenges, and how to address them; and,
• Recommit to the VGGT guiding principles, in terms of funding and political support.
