How are Thematic Group activities funded?
One of the principal objectives of the ACC Network Thematic Group is to increase project activities and investment in areas related to rural development and food security. Donors and/or financing agencies participating in the ACC Network fund Thematic Group activities at the national or regional level. Sources of funding are also identified by members of the Thematic Groups and representatives from the regional and central offices of partipating organizations. In Zambia, for example, the Thematic Group organized a National Food Needs Assessment undertaken by a number of Government institutions. Funds for the study were obtained from UNDP, UNICEF, FAO, WFP and USAID.
