The MYPoW gives direction on which topics should be addressed by the Committee on World Food Security, the activities to be undertaken, and the expected outcomes. It also requests the High-Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition (HLPE) to provide scientific and knowledge-based reports on specific issues from the food security and nutrition perspective. It also considers the financial implications of the proposed work. The MYPoW 2024-2027 was endorsed during the CFS 51 Plenary in October 2023.
