The Asia Pacific MDG Community of Practice (AP-MDG-CoP)
In response to challenges faced by countries in the region, a joint initiative by UNDP Regional Centre in Colombo, UNESCAP, and ADB will draw upon the collective knowledge, resources, and experience of practitioners working in the region. The AP-MDG-CoP is a network where MDG practitioners exchange knowledge and find partners, synergies, and solutions to reach the collective goal of achieving the MDGs.
Consolidated Reply: MS Swaminathan's Query on Hunger
In many developing countries including India, chronic hunger is related to a famine of work and purchasing power and not to a famine of food in the market. It is therefore clear that there is need to achieve “Work for All” for the purpose of ensuring “Food for All”. China has tried to promote opportunities for non-farm employment through the Village–Township Enterprises. Are there good examples in your area of concurrent attention to on-farm and non-farm employment, thereby creating multiple livelihood opportunities for the poor?
