"The UN system on Rural Development and Food Security and the IAAH are very significant instruments that can be used to make the partnership between FAO and ILO effective on the field"
In this interview Mr. Maximiliano Cox, Director of the FAO Rural Development Division gives an insight on the future collaborations between FAO and ILO in the framework of the issues raised by the report prepared by the World Commission and entitled "A Fair Globalization: creating opportunities for all."
"A main outcome achieved during these consultations has been the capacity to address local governments with proposals prepared by different social actors while maintaining, through the IPC, a consultation with the different FAO conferences." - Antonio Onorati
"The UN System Network should consult civil society through the various "networks of networks" at the global and regional levels - such as the IPC, the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, and the Major Stakeholders Groups - to identify and discuss the key topics for future forum and publications."
- Thomas Price
