Abstract

AbstractThis chapter considers the background for potential tensions between the interests of agencies working under upward accountability and the interests of their staff working on the ground, facing conflicting demands for participation from local and donor interests. The need for positive communication between staff from donor organizations and small-scale and subsistence farmers representatives is emphasized. It is argued that sustained political will from policy makers of international and national agencies and national governments is essential if relevant action by local small-scale and subsistence farmers' organizations and groups, supported by donors' organizations towards vitally important food security, is to be successful.
