The Kofi Annan Foundation, with the support of The Rockefeller Foundation, has convened an eminent group of leaders – the Kofi Annan Commission on Food Security – to review the current challenges to the global food security architecture; develop policy recommendations and possible models for a transformed global food governance system; and mobilize political commitment to adopt a new system that is fit-for-purpose to achieve a world with sustainable, equitable and resilient food security.

Working for Public Interest, I along with Professor Simon Reid-Henry provided the intellectual support for the Commission. This included the production of a paper on learnings of multilateral governance transformations and another on re-imagining the global governance of food. A series of policy papers related to food and trade, climate change and social protection. We also led the writing of the final report that will be out in 2025.
