UNDP National Commodities Program - Phase II

Projet terminé

Agro-commodity production is an essential economic development driver for our partner countries and exports are top foreign income earners. However, commodity production is also driving some of the most important development problems today, such as causing deforestation or sustaining smallholder production model and inferior production practices that traps producers in poverty. Acknowledging this dilemma, the global demand for sustainably produced commodities is growing.

Contexte

Importing countries are formulating policies and setting goals for sustainable trade. Buying companies are taking steps to address unsustainable conditions in their supply chains. Awareness on the importance of commodity sustainability in producing countries has risen as well and corresponding policies are put in place. SECO supports since 2015 the UNDP in establishing National Commodities platforms in Indonesia for the palm oil sector and in Peru for coffee sector. These platforms are forums where all stakeholders meet, dialogue and establish a consensus on sector specific issues that must be addressed for sustainable production.

Objectifs

The objective of the second phase is to contribute to building long-term sustainability of multi-stakeholder engagement in the National Commodity Platforms process. It aims at coordinating multi-stakeholder actions to implement the National Action Plans in Indonesia and Peru and at sharing successful practices for replication in other agro-commodity sectors around the world.

At the global level, the project formulates strategy, develops partnerships and provides guidance to country level interventions. At country level, support focuses on i) facilitation and coordination of actions on behalf of all stakeholders, help build systems to monitor progress and support decision-making related to National Action Plan implementation- and ii) anchorage of the local dialogue forum in a long-term institutional arrangement with increased capacity to lead stakeholder dialogue nationally.

Effets à moyen terme

Joint and coordinated action are taken by all major stakeholder groups in Indonesia?s palm oil sector to implement the National Action Plan, which is driven and coordinated by a nationally owned palm oil platform structure (FOKSBI)

Joint and coordinated action are taken by all major stakeholder groups in Peru?s coffee sector to implement the National Action Plan, which driven and coordinated by a strong and active National Coffee Council

Global support to Green Commodities Platform Community is strengthened and its members increasingly interact.
