Astoria Plaza, Ortigas Business District, Pasig City
21-22 May 2026
The Alliance of Cooperatives Against Hunger and Poverty (ACAHP) participated in the two-day National Inception Workshop for the Joint SDG Fund Project: Zero Hunger Accelerator – Catalysing Local Investments for Food System Transformation and Green Transition. The activity served as a platform for key stakeholders to discuss strategies, strengthen partnerships, and align initiatives aimed at advancing sustainable food systems, promoting local investments, and accelerating the country’s transition toward food security and green development.
The Zero Hunger Accelerator is a joint programme of FAO, UN Women, and WFP, implemented in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP), and with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR) through the BARMM Food Security Task Force (BFSTF).
The programme supports the development of inclusive and climate-resilient food systems in the Philippines by using innovative blended financing solutions aligned with national and local priorities. It is anchored in institutional markets such as social protection programmes and school meals, and aims to improve access to finance for smallholder farmers, fisherfolk, cooperatives, and women-led food enterprises.
