AFA attended the 5th meeting of the Steering Committee (SC) of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), conducted last June 6-9, in Washington, DC.
The meeting was attended by Soc Banzuela, who stood in for Dr. Sang Yang Koma (the regular CSO Asia representative), and Esther Penunia, for technical backstop to Soc as the support organization for Asia rep.
In the meeting, AFA was able to get some good feedback to its report and the work it is doing for GAFSP, get positive response to the CSO proposal on how to enhance CSO participation in the GAFSP, and get approval of the proposed GAFSP budget for FY 2012 in the amount of $85,000.
It was also able to come face to face with the members of the GAFSP SC, particularly the CSO reps and Northern CSO colleagues who are engaging in GAFSP processes.
