Share your experience on the implementation of the SSF Guidelines

This call is an important stock taking opportunity for all and the results are expected to further inform FAO, governments, SSF organizations, NGOs development partners, CSOs, research and other partners initiatives to implement the SSF Guidelines at national, regional or global level.

The FAO SSF Guidelines team invite stakeholders to:

1. Share experiences, lessons learned and good practices on the implementation of the SSF Guidelines.

3. Suggest recommendations for improvements in implementing the SSF Guidelines.
4. Share concrete plans to (further) use and implement the SSF Guidelines.

Tell us why the SSF Guidelines are important.
