I traveled far west, deep into the western part of Kenya, with @dan_odero and @dallaadventures
I was amused by how these people live, how they use the lake water, fishing practices and impact of climate change on their livelihood.
I had a chat with one fisherman who told me, they have been witnessing low catch and that has really affected there business and lives that is dependant on fishing. And that to me was shocking, it was evident that they were experiencing hunger at a time where there is rise in food prices and commodities.
Sustainable livelihoods are rural people’s best asset against hunger and malnutrition. Building more resilient livelihoods is one of the most powerful means to mitigate and prevent food security crises.
Food security, nutrition, and livelihoods sustainable interventions can save lives.

Adopt measures to ensure the proper functioning of food commodity markets and their derivatives and facilitate timely access to market information, including on food reserves, in order to help limit extreme food price volatility.
Enjoy..

Alleviating Food Hunger and Reducing Food Waste with Innovation.
“Food waste is this massive and very overwhelming challenge, but itʼs actually something that every single one of us can start to address in our own homes,” Shukla says, noting how shocked she was when she first learned how much of the worldʼs food supply spoils on a daily basis.
“The worldʼs farmers actually grow enough food to feed everyone on the planet, but over 800 million people still go hungry every single day.”
While the food waste challenge is daunting, she also sees it as an
opportunity to prove how small innovations can make a big difference. Her journey started early and is a story of simple beginnings and empowerment. When visiting her grandmother in India as a 12-year-old, Shukla drank water believed to be contaminated, but thanks to her grandmotherʼs homemade
remedy, she didnʼt get sick. She was intrigued and began studying her grandmotherʼs remedy, and was able to figure out why it worked and how to replicate and advance its effects. She now uses this knowledge to prevent food spoilage and relieve hunger around the world. Shukla holds four US patents and an Index Design to Improve Life award, a leading international prize for design. Her product is used by farmers and families across the globe, and Freshglow has also partnered with retailers such as Whole Foods and Walmart.

Tourism and Rural Development: A Policy Perspective.
Tourism has high potential to stimulate economic growth and social change in rural areas because it contributes to local economies, support other products value chains, distributes benefits across both seasonal and geographic grounds, and promotes the conservation of cultural and natural heritage. Through the UNWTO Tourism for Rural Development Programme, the Organization seeks to enhance these and other opportunities that tourism can bring to rural areas. To devise adequate actions and develop impactful initiatives, it is essential to have solid knowledge and data to help support and monitor the evolution of this important agenda.

Financing social protection and care systems for the fulfilment of human rights, gender equality and poverty reduction (CSW68 Side Event).
UN Women is convening a high-level panel of diverse leaders for this CSW68 side event to explore how financing social protection and care systems can realize human rights, promote gender equality, and eradicate poverty amidst multiple crises.
Social protection and care systems are recognized as crucial tools to combat poverty (SDG1), ensure universal health coverage (SDG 3), and promote human rights and gender equality (SDG 5). However, cascading crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, environmental emergencies, and conflicts have reversed progress on poverty eradication and gender equality, leaving 1 in 10 women in extreme poverty and triggering a cost-of-living crisis amid a looming debt distress. These shocks are intensified by underlying structural crises in jobs, livelihoods, and care. If current trends continue, by 2030, an estimated 8% of the world's female population – 342.4 million women and girls – will still be living on less than $2.15 a day. Against this backdrop, UN Women's corporate side event will explore how social protection and care systems can advance human rights, gender equality, and poverty eradication. As the world prepares for the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration, the event aims to accelerate progress in expanding social protection, strengthening resilience, and integrating social protection with employment and livelihoods. Additionally, this event seeks to bridge thematic linkages between the priority theme of CSW68 'Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing' with a gender perspective and the review theme on 'Social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.'

Opening plenary (SDG Action Weekend, Mobilization Day).
As the opening to SDG Action Weekend, the opening plenary of the Saturday proceedings will emphasize the urgency of this moment. Halfway to the 2030 Deadline, we are not halfway there –many goals remain off-track and global economic, geopolitical, and environmental headwinds threaten progress in other areas.
The 2030 Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee, and humanity is in the hotseat. In the face of these challenges, participants will be reminded by speakers that transformation, at scale, is possible. We have the right tools and capabilities but now we need everyone, individually and collectively, to channel these resources more efficiently to deliver on the SDGs. This session will feature a keynote speech from a former Head of State, providing a sober reality check of the moment and emphasizing the possibility for us to achieve our promise. To close, an empowering performance from Yemi Aladewill set an uplifting tone as stakeholders head into the programming of SDG Mobilization Day.

Galvanizing MSMEs worldwide by supporting women and youth entrepreneurship and resilient supply chains.
(Part 2) micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises Day 2023
Multiple simultaneous shocks and crises have disturbed the global working environment for entrepreneurs and micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). In addition, conflicts, commodity dependence, geopolitical tensions, and pandemics drive social and economic instability, making MSMEs extremely vulnerable to rising inflation and supply chain disruptions.
Among the most vulnerable, women- and youth-owned enterprises are often at risk of external shocks. This is when the percentage and overall number of business formations by women and youth are increasing worldwide. However, facing limited access to affordable finance, capacity-building support, partnership networks, and global markets, women and young entrepreneurs need help to overcome the numerous challenges that frequently stifle the growth of their businesses, confining many of them to informality or necessity entrepreneurship.
Policies that strengthen capacities and support MSMEs development and entrepreneurship for women and youth need to be at the forefront to address those challenges, lower and remove barriers, and provide an operating environment for women- and youth-owned businesses to grow, thus contributing to the full achievement of SDGs 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and the "leave no one behind" promise of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals.
This MSMEs day will also focus on supporting resilient supply chains to ensure workers and the environment benefit. Supply chains are a critical component of global trade and commerce, and conflicts, disasters, and pandemics can quickly impact their functioning, increasing costs and making transactions more difficult. Therefore, policymakers and businesses must join forces to ensure economically viable, socially, and environmentally sustainable supply chains.

Learn how countries are supporting the SDG Agenda through rural tourism - Rural tourism and the SDGs.
Among 79 countries responding to the first survey of UNWTO member states on tourism and rural development, conducted in 2023, five SDGs emerged as the most popular when planning for or implementing rural tourism activities: SDG 8 ‘Decent work and economic growth’ is the most significant SDG for rural tourism, followed by SDG 1 ‘No poverty’, SDG 11 ‘Sustainable cities and communities’; SDG 5 ‘Gender equality’ and SDG 12 Responsible production and consumption.
At a policy level, tourism can serve as a powerful driver for achieving SDGs in rural areas.

Towards a Rights-centred Gender Transformative Economy, Including a New International Financial Architecture.
This side-event will feature a diverse and intersectional group of thought leaders and practitioners, including feminist & women's rights organizations, LGBTI+ organizations, United Nations entities and Member States & other relevant stakeholders and will explore the gendered implications of the current financial architecture and discuss how the reforms proposed by civil society, Member States, the World Bank Evolution Roadmap and the Secretary-General can be designed and expanded to accelerate progress toward the SDGs.
Lead Facilitators:
Women's Major Group, with the support of UN Women.
Established during World War II, the institutions of the international financial architecture are no longer fit to address the challenges of our time. In their current structure and operational models, they have amplified structural inequalities, jeopardized social, economic and environmental rights and led to the fragmentation of international financial and economic relations, hampering the implementation of the SDGs. Conditionalities imposed by international financial institutions and austerity policies, in particular, have constrained fiscal space and concentrated wealth at the top.
Participants will discuss and give concrete suggestions for how the resources unlocked through debt relief and these reforms should support gender-responsive fiscal and financial policies, including investments in social protection, care, health and education, and reductions in occupational, wage and other gender gaps. The event will encourage commitment by Member States and financial institutions towards an economic model for gender transformative results at all levels. ---
