🌱✨ Recap of the Inception Workshop on FAO Project FVC/GLO/184/MUL: “Scaling the Implementation of the One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) Initiative”, virtually held on 3 April 2024, brought together over 110 participants from 11 Countries across five Regions, representing the tropics, drylands, mountainous zones as well as the Small Island Developing States.
This project, with a total budget of USD 1 million, builds upon the experience and lessons learned from previous initiatives.
As the project manager, I am honored to coordinate both the first OCOP global demonstration project and this follow-up global project funded by FAO Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC).
With the aim of improving food security, livelihoods, environment, and income of rural populations, our goal is to promote sustainable, productive, resilient, and competitive value chains of Special Agricultural Products (SAPs). The workshop showcased progress and fostered insightful discussions, laying a solid foundation for future collaboration and success. Let’s forge ahead together towards more sustainable agrifood systems! 🌾🌍
