Focus is put on advancing youth and women’s empowerment. Research, technical assistance, partnerships and communication and advocacy are the four pillars of CERFAM. These pillars are the foundations to leveraging CERFAM’s visibility, positioning, engagement and partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to bring about the transformation needed towards zero hunger.
