Mailing List on Right to Food
Mailing List on Right to Food aims
to share information among the members of Right to Food Network
- Nepal as well as other like minded people.
What is RtFN?
The National Network on Right to Food Nepal
(RtFN) is a national level loose network for undertaking collective
efforts and coordinating individuals and organisations who
are engaged in promoting the human Right to Food in Nepal.
It was formed in July 2007. The RtFN is to serve as a watchdog
in the cases of human right to food violations and advocate
for inclusion of human right to food as a fundamental right
in the new Constitution of Nepal and thereof policies, and
hold the State and other relevant parties accountable for
realization of the obligations to respect, protect and fulfil
the human Right to Food as stated in Article 11 of the General
Comment 12 on the International Covenant of Economic, Social
and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) of 1966.
The RtFN, thus, focuses its strategic interventions
towards policy advocacy, networking, lobbying and campaigning
at national, regional and local levels for promoting and strengthening
the human Right to Food and food sovereignty in Nepal. Its
thematic areas of intervention are: raising awareness on the
issues and concerns of human Right to Food and the cases of
its violations; facilitate capacity building of CSOs on the
issues of food sovereignty and mainstreaming of the human
Right to Food in government policies; facilitate implementation
of campaigns, seminars, workshops and roundtables; and share
relevant information and learning among different stakeholders.
Interested individuals and organisations
who subscribe to the internationally accepted principles and
philosophy of human Right to Food are always welcome to join
this network and contribute towards promoting and protecting
the human Right to Food of Nepalese people.
