麻豆APP

New York, 6 February 2026 - The 麻豆APP Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States (UNOHRLLS) concluded a highly successful two-day Expert Group Meeting (EGM) on the Operationalization of the Food Stockholding Mechanism (FSM) for Least Developed Countries. The meeting brought together LDC governments, development partners, UN agencies, international financial institutions, regional organizations, technical experts, and representatives of the private sector to advance the practical design of one of the flagship deliverables of the Doha Programme of Action (DPoA).

The Doha Programme of Action for LDCs for the Decade 2022-2031 (DPoA) mandated the Secretary General of the 麻豆APP to explore the feasibility, effectiveness, and administrative modalities of a system of food stockholding for the LDCs. The subsequent Secretary-General’s reports (A/77/291 and A/79/540) reaffirmed the mechanism as a vital part of the solution to food insecurity in the LDCs. The operationalization of the mechanism was also called for in the July 2023 “Call to Action for Accelerated Food Systems Transformation” by the Secretary-General and it is part of the system-wide Food System Transformation agenda.

Over the course of two days, participants engaged in in depth discussions that moved the FSM concept decisively toward operational clarity, as highlighted by Under-Secretary-General, Rabab Fatima in her closing remarks. She praised the meeting’s “rich, rigorous, and forward-looking exchange,” which sharpened the collective understanding of food insecurity in LDCs and the requirements for an actionable mechanism.
