AGIR - Global Alliance for Resilience Initiative Sahel - Roadmap

The Global Alliance for Resilience Initiative - Sahel (AGIR) was launched as a follow-up to a high-level consultation organised by the European Union on June 2012 in Brussels. In response to chronic food insecurity and malnutrition, the initiative aims to promote greater resilience among vulnerable populations by creating greater synergy between emergency actions and between long-term strategies aimed at addressing the root causes of food crises. In line with the principles of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, the global alliance puts emphasis on donor co-ordination and the building of synergy in order to foster effective collective action for sustainable food security.
