Organisation

Welcome to the Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the United Nations in Rome!

The Permanent Mission of Switzerland to the United Nations organisations in Rome is representing Switzerland at the United Nations Rome based agencies. Rome is the headquarters of the United Nations’ three main international organizations dealing with food and agriculture.

In 2009 the Committee went through a comprehensive reform process with the goal of increasing its efficiency by including a wider group of stakeholders, including civil society, private sector, research and other UN-organisations, amongst others, which is unique in the UN system and of increasing its ability to promote policies that reduce food insecurity. The reformed CFS is the most inclusive international and intergovernmental platform for all stakeholders to work together in a coordinated way to ensure food security and nutrition for all. The CFS is made up of the following units: the CFS Bureau and Advisory Group, the Plenary, the High Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) and a secretariat.

Here we provide a list of partners for the current year with the sponsored events and/or projects.
