Synopsis (short abstract) FAO has partnered with the Government of Malawi since a country representation was established in 1986. Assistance is focused on food security and agriculture-related policies, and programmes with a wide range of field programmes and an emphasis on technical advisory services and capacity building. Emergency and rehabilitation operations are an important feature of cooperation as is the mainstreaming of action to address HIV and AIDS, climate change and gender issues. This publication provides readers with a broad overview of the ongoing collaboration between FAO and the Government of Malawi.

    The fall armyworm (FAW), which originated in the Americas, has invaded more than 80 countries in Africa, the Near East, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe. It reduces maize yields byup to 73 percent and inflicts economic losses worth USD 9.4 billion in Africa alone. To address these challenges, Director-General Qu Dongyu launched the Global Action on FallArmyworm Control in 2019 to coordinate efforts while adopting an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. Since then, FAO has been working with stakeholders andpartners through this programme to reach impact on a scale – at global, regional and national levels. Outcomes were showcased at the FAO Global Symposiumon Sustainable Fall Armyworm Management held in Beijing, China, from 31 October to 2 November 2023. The symposium focused on “Charting a global response tofuture invasive pests” and brought together more than 40 speakers and 200 worldwide participants. They shared their best practices and exchanged valuable knowledge,drawing lessons from the past and laying a robust foundation for the active prevention and sustainable response to future biological invasions. These proceedings reflect this symposium.
