G20 Development Working Group Submissions
Developing agricultural risk management for the
most vulnerable can lead to improved resilience and
reduced vulnerability. For this reason,
PARM was
included in the Alliance Globale pour l'Initiative
Résilience (AGIR) in Sahel, West Africa, led by the
European Union and launched in Ouagadougou
in 2012, as well as in the New Alliance for Food
Security and Nutrition launched at the G8 Camp
David Summit in 2012.
Lesson Learned:
To date, PARM has been funded on a voluntary
basis by a few G20 donors and partner IOs,
currently including the AFD, IFAD, BMZ and the
European Commission. Regarding bottlenecks
encountered and lessons learned, the continued
mobilization of all G20 members and all
relevant IOs and the full involvement of LICs in
ongoing initiatives are of paramount importance
to ensuring further success, in particular through
the development of pilot programs.
