The Coordination Committee is the governing body of the Civil Society Mechanism and has the main role and responsibility to facilitate participation of CSOs in the Committee on World Food Security.
The Coordination Committee is comprised of 41 focal points representing 11 constituencies and 17 sub-regions: 4 focal points from smallholder family farmer oraganistaions and 2 from each of the other constituencies, and 1 focal point from each sub-region. The breakdown of the Coordination Committee is meant to reflect priority to small-scale farmers and to ensure geographical and gender balance, with 50% of representation to be held by women

Background
During the 2010 Civil Society Consultation (8-10 October 2010), participants from each constituency (11) and sub-region (16) discussed and decided on what process to put into action to select their Coordination Committee member(s) and which constituency and sub-regional networks needed to be involved in the consultation process. A focal person was nominated, to be responsible for facilitating the consultation, nomination and selection process.
One year later, during the 2011 Civil Society Consultation, Coordination Committee members were endorsed, and plans to fill the remaining gaps in the Coordination Committee were put into action with the focal points.
