The Guide to Facilitation was launched by the Facilitation Working Group in May 2021. It aims to help support facilitation practices in the CSIPM and increase awareness of the CSIPM’s distinctive facilitation approach.
Available in English, Spanish and French, the Guide to Facilitation is designed to be a resource that facilitators and participants in the CSIPM – no matter how familiar they are with the CSIPM context – can continually reference in support of their work.
The CSIPM Facilitation Working Group was mandated, as part of the response to the CSIPM Evaluation of 2018, to draft a common understanding of Facilitation, in principle and practice, which was endorsed in 2019.

Its three key sections address:
- the key principles that underpin the CSIPM’s facilitation approach;
- the context for the CSIPM’s facilitation effort: the United Nations Committee on World Food Security;
- an overview of how facilitation is achieved in practice in the CSPM.
The Guide also contains a ‘Spotlight on Youth’, a special section that introduces the CSIPM’s Youth Constituency and Working Group, its history, and recent activities.
Members of the Facilitation Working Group are available to give presentations or host workshops on this new Guide to Facilitation.
