SKI Farmers Rights Campaign – On 23 November 2023, SKI hosted a side-event during the week of the International Treaty for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) GB 10 meeting at the FAO headquarters in Rome. The side-event was titled ‘A decade of working towards realising Farmers’ Rights in southern Africa’, with presentations and a panel discussion from SKI partners BCI, CTDT, UCT and ZAAB as well the SKI regional coordination desk. With about 30 delegates from governments and CSOs from around the world in attendance who expressed a lot of interest, the event allowed us to not only increase the visibility of SKI’s work at the international level but also reaffirm the relevance of our approaches.
