Evaluation of the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations
Since the endorsement of the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations in 2013, FAO has promoted more active civil society participation in global policy discussions, regional and national consultations, and international forums, resulting in several formal partnerships agreements being signed. While this is commendable, FAO should more effectively integrate partnership development activities within its programmes and workplans. Most partnership initiatives, particularly at the country level, are not focused on long-term relationship building and are limited in scope and magnitude, due to limited planning, lack of appropriate knowledge management and guidance. FAO should take necessary steps to map and identify potential partners, seek establishment of multi-stakeholder collaboration, and enhance strategy implementation by establishing robust monitoring and knowledge management systems, and streamlining relevant procedures and approaches for collaboration.
