The Rome-based Agencies (RBAs) – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP); in collaboration with UN Women – are pleased to invite you to their joint celebration of this year’s United Nations Day for South South Cooperation (SSC). The celebration, to be marked with a high-level webinar, aligns with the 2026 International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF) and is centred on the theme of “Scaling Impact, Sowing Equity: Rural Women Driving South-South and Triangular Cooperation for Sustainable Agrifood Systems”.
The webinar will highlight effective approaches to advance gender equity and rural women’s empowerment in pursuit of agri-food systems transformation, which can be taken forward through SSC. With the spotlight on the Joint Programme on Accelerating Progress Towards Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment (JP RWEE), which is implemented by the four agencies in thirteen countries, speakers will discuss some best practices and lessons learned from the Programme and opportunities for exchanging knowledge and technical expertise through partnerships.
