Identifying Stakeholders

• united nation for food program

• hands for hunger

• CRFM

• NASSAU

• Global water partnership- Caribbean 

• Inter-American Development Bank

Stakeholders on behalf of the Bahamas have different viewpoints. Such as Hands for hunger which is a humanitarian organization committed to the elimination of unnecessary hunger and the reduction of food waste through the creation of meaningful and engaging partnerships formed amongst all sectors of the Bahamian community. Also, World food programme which is the food aid arm of the United Nations system. Food aid is one of the many instruments that can help to promote food security, which is defined as access of all people at all times to the food needed for an active and healthy life. The policies governing the use of World Food Programme food aid must be oriented towards the objective of eradicating hunger and poverty. The ultimate objective of food aid should be the elimination of the need for food aid.

• WFP is well placed to play a major role in the continuum from emergency relief to development. WFP will give priority to supporting disaster prevention, preparedness and mitigation and post-disaster rehabilitation activities as part of development programmes.

• Provide bilateral services to donors, UN agencies and NGOs on the basis of full cost recovery.

• Women in particular are key to change; providing food to women puts it in the hands of those who use it for the benefit of the entire household, especially the children.
