A/HRC/22/50/Add.2 southern and eastern Africa that are already moving in this direction. The Special Rapporteur stands ready to work with the authorities to take this process forward. VII. Recommendations 73. The Special Rapporteur recommends that the Government should: (a) Establish a framework-law on the right to food that includes, inter alia, elements of a framework law on agriculture, with a view to creating a legislative and institutional framework to foster the gradual realization of the right to food; improve coordination between different governmental departments (the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Development, the Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Labour and Social Services, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry for the Advancement of Women); strengthen dialogue with civil society and producers’ organizations on the formulation of food security policies; define more precisely the time limits for the adoption of measures, the responsibilities of different actors and the remedies open to beneficiaries in the event that commitments are not honoured; (b) Adopt measures to improve the situation of marginalized and vulnerable groups in respect to food, and, in particular: • Ensure that the definition of indigenous peoples set out in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is incorporated into the laws of Cameroon; • Ensure that the views of communities are taken into account in decisions concerning the concessions of the land on which they depend for their livelihood; • Improve, with immediate effect, the food provided to prisoners; (c) Meet the Government target, as set out in the Strategy Document for Growth and Employment, of increasing budgetary allocations for agriculture, by clarifying how public resources are to be allocated to different categories of producers (small producers, large businesses and agrifood companies); (d) Invest in programmes, practices and policies to scale up agroecological approaches, as recommended by the Human Rights Council in resolution 16/27; (e) Develop a programme to introduce structural improvements in the northern region, which is vulnerable to climate change, by, inter alia: formulating an ambitious policy on the creation of village grain stores; establishing large-scale programmes to plant fodder/fertilizer trees; and supporting measures, such as the installation of anti-erosion strips and micro-dams, to maximize both fodder production and rainwater collection; (f) Stimulate local production by improving access to markets for farmers who belong to producers’ organizations; pursue efforts to end the isolation of certain remote regions; promote the development of “magasins-témoins” in rural areas and, with a view to supporting local producers, ensure that local produce such as cassava, millet and maize is included among the price-controlled foods on offer at these outlets; (g) Implement the advertised redeployment of agricultural outreach services provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development advisers and involve more women in the delivery of the services; and create the right conditions for a genuine partnership between the advisers, farmers’ organizations and IRAD researchers, whose research deserves to be disseminated more widely; (h) Review the tenure systems with a view to the implementation, in the context of national food security, of voluntary guidelines on responsible governance of tenure 18 GE.12-18864
