What are Collective Actions?
A GFAR Collective Action is a multi-stakeholder programme of work at local, national, regional or international level, initiated by three or more partners and prioritized by GFAR Partners, always including producers and with a particular focus on women and youth. Work formulated through consultative processes of GFAR is delivered by our constituent partners.
Partners agree to commit and generate resources together, to catalyze actions or advocacy towards shared, demand-driven development aims. These actions are fostered and supported through the GFAR Secretariat.
