The Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum 2024 was held in Rome during the World Food Forum.
- Total 72 countries joined the Hand-in-Hand Initiative, a signature scheme launched by QU Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
- The Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum is the crux of the Initiative’s partnership-building effort, as it brings investors, multilateral development banks, the private sector and development partners, foundations and impact funds to a platform where FAO Members can directly present their prioritized agrifood investment opportunities in their agrifood systems and value chains.
