Partners for Change (P4C) Network

Joint Advocacy for a Food Secure, Resilient and Sustainable Future

Germany is the world’s largest donor in the fight against hunger and a key shaper of global agendas for transforming agricultural and food systems. Partners for Change (P4C) is the central network for political partners and implementers within the BMZ core theme “Life Without Hunger – Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems.” This multi-stakeholder network connects on-the-ground implementation with global structural policy to promote more equitable, sustainable, and resilient agricultural and food systems – with the goal of enabling a life in dignity for all people. Partners from over 40 countries are part of the network.
