FINEXPO EVALUATION<br />
The programme of the Belgian Survival Fund (BSF) focuses on food security, in<br />
partnership with the BTC, Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and multilateral<br />
institutions. The BSF approach is the following:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
emphasis on agriculture,<br />
integrated approach to the food issue with other social services,<br />
capacity-building in grassroots organisations and decentralised authorities,<br />
focus on the problem of individual capacity of persons, and defensive<br />
strategies against external shocks.<br />
In addition, projects within the BSF are often test cases, laboratories for an innovative<br />
approach by means of which relatively scant resources can still tackle a complex issue.<br />
The Fund's resources come from an extra-budgetary allocation from the National Lottery.<br />
The 1999 Fund, which was added to the remainder of the 1983 Fund, makes up a total<br />
budget of almost €300 million for this ten-year period. Expenditures have increased since<br />
1999 from around €10 million a year to more than €30 million p.a. A new “Belgian Fund<br />
for Food Security” is being developed and the related law was scheduled to be submitted<br />
to parliament in 2009.<br />
