On the second day of the fourth global meeting of the Farmers Forum on February 21, 2012, the Medium Term Cooperation Program with FOs in the Asia Pacific got a good review.
The IFAD social reporting blog says:
The results of the first phase of the MTCP were very encouraging. “Consultation with FOs in the design of new IFAD projects, and in the formulation of new Country Strategic Opportunities Programmes, is now the norm!”, said Sana F K Jatta, IFAD Task Manager for the Farmers’ Forum process in the Asia Pacific Division.
Maybe that’s because IFAD and FOs have a common objective, which is poverty reduction. As Nguyen Manh Hung, Director of International Cooperation in the Viet Nam Farmers’ Union, said: “When you have common objectives, you can shake hands.”
