Major Activities

Activity 2

Hunger-free communities - in 2011, the hunger-free communities initiative took on a life of its own. In march, the alliance hosted the first annual hunger-free communities summit; a one day event that provided current and aspiring hunger free community organizers - nonprofit, religious, private sector and public sector leaders committed to ending hunger in their region - a forum to hear from experts about innovative models for building community coalitions to end hunger; share lessons learned and successful strategies; and learn about best practices to coordinate hunger relief, leverage available resources and implement multi-year plans. We also established an online portal, [www.hungerfreecommunities.org] the hunger-free communities network, for coalitions, campaigns and collaborations committed to ending hunger in their localities to learn from each other and share their knowledge and experience with other hunger free organizers.

Activity 3

National alliance partnerships - in july 2011, the alliance to end hunger announced the launch of a new initiative aimed at reducing global hunger and malnutrition by strengthening civil society in the developing world. This new initiative, called the national alliance partnership program, is made possible by a grant from the international fund for agricultural development (ifad). The goal of the program is to strengthen the capacity of civil society to participate, in a sustainable way, in the development, implementation, and monitoring of country-led agricultural development, food security and nutrition activities. The alliance is partnering with existing or nascent alliances in three developing countries (ghana, kenya and uganda) to help them build their organizational and financial capacity; diversify their coalitions, with emphasis on engaging farmers and other food producers; and increase their capacity for advocacy and policy analysis in the areas of agriculture, food security and nutrition.
