RE : Invitation to Answer COVID-19 Survey on Local Food Systems

The Office of the Representative in the Philippines of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has an online survey on responses of cities and municipalities to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, particularly in relation to the local food systems. It wants to raise the profile of actions by local governments to provide support to them. 

 

Specifically, the initiative aims to map the actions taken, identify challenges that local governments face, and give opportunity to make recommendations on how the response could be better managed. You may click the link below to access the questionnaire:
