SIANI Expert Groups are cross-sector working groups established around SIANI’s vision and mission:
- SIANI’s overall vision is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal #2 and is to: “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture”.
- SIANI’s mission is to: “Promote a multi-sector dialogue, with participation from academia, the private sector, Swedish authorities and civil society surrounding SDG 2”.
Our
Expert Groups are manageable interdisciplinary groups whose purpose is
to support dialogues that capture, develop, consolidate and communicate
knowledge on emerging issues contributing to our vision. SIANI Expert
groups widen the network by nurturing interaction between the Swedish
Resource Base and SIANI connections across the World. Expert Groups have
shown that they are an important tool in facilitating cross-sector
work, and make a large contribution to the SIANI platform – moving
toward the realization of sustainable agriculture, food security,
improved nutrition and the ending of hunger.
All proposals must
clearly demonstrate how the proposed group will deliver on gender
equality and how its activities contribute to the alleviation of
poverty. In addition, proposals should clearly fit under one of the
following focus areas of the SIANI programme:
- Rural transformation
- Agricultural production and trade
- Landscape management
- Climate change, resilience, peace and conflict
- Nutrition and health
