GCP/GLO/949/EC PROJECT “Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance” - September 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.This report synthesizes key findings, strategic priorities, and capacity-building needs identified through national Food Control System (FCS) assessments and strategic action plans developed by ten countries participating in the project GCP/GLO/949/EC, "Strengthening Food Control and Phytosanitary Capacities and Governance." It highlights common strengths and challenges across countries, as well as variations in national strategies, offering a regional perspective on priority areas for strengthening FCSs.The report aligns national-level actions with the strategic objectives of the African Union, illustrating how country-specific efforts contribute to broader continental goals in food safety and trade facilitation. It supports the FAO Strategic Framework by promoting better production, nutrition, environment, and life through safer and more effective food systems.Targeted at policymakers, regulatory authorities, regional bodies, and development partners, the report provides a foundation for harmonized capacity-building and regional collaboration. It identifies cross-cutting trends and shared priorities, helping guide evidence-based policymaking and coordinated technical support.By facilitating knowledge sharing and informed planning, this report aims to strengthen regional cooperation, enhance the visibility of FAO and its partners, and support the development of tailored capacity-building initiatives. Ultimately, it contributes to a more unified, resilient, and effective approach to food control across the region. -

No results found.The Arab Republic of Egypt became a Member Country of FAO in 1945 and FAO opened a representation office in the country in 1978. During the past decades, the country has benefited from FAO’s technical assistance to agricultural development through identification, preparation and appraisal of investment projects, financed from both regular and field programmes funding and which covered food security, rural and agricultural development, policy advice, strategy planning and capacity development. FAO activities in Egypt have generally been demand-driven, attempting to respond to the continuously shifting national priorities. -

Country programme evaluation series - Final Report
2018Also available in:
No results found.Egypt experienced instable political situation during the past years. As a result, its food security was heavily affected. FAO’s programme focused on sustainable agricultural development for food security and nutrition. Enhancing food security also requires addressing socio-economic aspects, particularly the role of women. With FAO support, the Law Governing Agricultural Cooperatives was reformed to revive its function, reducing the control of the government and collaborating with the private sector. This was critical for extending effective support to small farmers. Animal health and disease control was up-scaled to reduce the threat to the livelihoods. Wheat sector was reviewed, and the reforms will start with the local bread (Baladi) production. The 1.5 Million Feddan Programme, to which FAO provided policy advice, is shaping the agricultural development of the land. Throughout the country programme however, the role of women in food security was not sufficiently considered and the project design was not systematically gender-mainstreamed. In the future, FAO could focus more on policy advice and food-security reform initiatives.

ProjectProgramme / project reportPrivate sector roundtable on climate action in Egypt's livestock and dairy sectors
Country workshop report, April 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.FAO organized a roundtable with the Egyptian dairy industry in Cairo to discuss the impacts of climate change and to discuss how joint action can enable and accelerate the implementation of agrifood priorities in Egypt. The aim of the meeting was to explore how livestock and dairy sector actors are affected by climate change, what climate-friendly practices they are pursuing, what barriers exist to implementing such practices, and what kind of support is needed to encourage them to invest in climate action. The discussion aimed to survey financing options available from investors and financiers to support climate change adaptation and mitigation actions in the livestock and dairy subsectors in Egypt. Stakeholders such as producers, associations, cooperatives, feed manufacturers and companies in the dairy value chain, highlighted climate-related challenges such as the impact of heat stress on the dairy industry and livestock, as well as the increased costs due to climate-induced changes in price of input, feeds, amongst others. Private sector stakeholders also shared innovative practices that companies are adopting to mitigate emissions.This report is a summary of the discussions and recommendations from stakeholders that participated in the meeting. -
Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -
