Recent crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have exacerbated food insecurity and depleted fiscal resources in vulnerable countries, [GASFP Strategic Advisor] said in a panel at the Financing for Development Conference.
Ending hunger and transforming food systems may not have explicitly featured on the agenda of the Fourth Financing for Development Conference, or FfD4, in Sevilla, Spain, last week but these issues are actually core to reforming the international financial architecture.
Thats according to Gabriel Ferrero, Spains ambassador-at-large for global food security, who serves in the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the European Union and Cooperation. Ferrero was speaking at Casa Devex, on the sidelines of the conference.
FfD4 brought together a variety of people from government ministers to private sector leaders to multilateral development bank officials to hammer out a range of goals on issues such as tax reform and public-private cooperation.
