| Video Discription | 16 October 2013, Rome - FAO has signed a new partnership agreement with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC),the world's largest humanitarian network, to help improve food security and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities. FAO and the IFRC have agreed that FAO will provide technical guidance to complement IFRC's extensive network of 13 million volunteers - who in turn reach some 150 million people - to assist poor households cope with threats and disasters that impact agriculture, food security and nutrition. FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva said the partnership with IFRC was an important step towards addressing world hunger with greater coordination, focusing both on its root causes and on building more resilient communities. "Our organizations are committing to a partnership that can have a significant impact on the lives of the poor and marginal people, particularly those affected by crises, conflicts and disasters who suffer from hunger and malnutrition," said Graziano da Silva at a signing ceremony on World Food Day. "We are committed to taking our collaboration one step higher and reinforcing our voices and our work together for the most vulnerable farmers, herders, fishers, tree-dependent communities and people with livelihoods that depend on the access and availability of natural resources." IFRC Secretary-General Bekele Geleta said: "National Red Cross and Red Crescent societies have been responding to the effects of drought and disasters for decades. Through the work of our volunteers within communities around the globe, we see how hunger and malnutrition affect the lives of vulnerable people all through the various stages of their lives. "In addressing food insecurity, it is not sufficient to tackle the aspects of food production and access alone: we need to recognize collectively that we must change the way we work and the way we invest to address the underlying issues of vulnerability such as poverty and extreme weather events," Geleta added. © FAO: http://www.fao.org [l5-KbMpUmQY] |
