Background

The Strategic Partnership on Sustainable Diets for All (SD4All) was started by Hivos and IIED in 2016. This is one of the four programs of its Dialogue and Dissent strategic partnership with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The five-year program focuses on specific lobby and advocacy goals (influencing policies and practices of market and government actors) as well as on strengthening of advocacy capacities of civil society actors, specifically in the food sector. The long term goal is more sustainable, diverse, healthy and nutritious food available for low-income citizens.
