Synopsis (short abstract) The imperatives to leave no one behind (LNOB) and endeavour to reach the furthest behind first – as pledged by the 193 Member States of the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – are gaining more traction among development practitioners as we approach the midpoint towards the 2030 deadline. Leave no one behind implies concrete actions to curb poverty and inequality, address vulnerabilities, and thus ensure that the prosperity of the furthest behind is fast-tracked. The focus of this guidebook is on the Europe and Central Asia region. Finally, pilot testing would be recommended for the approach presented here and adjustments made to the document afterwards.

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Pest contingency plans (PCP) are used by national or regional plant protection organizations to ensure a plan is in place for when a new pest is detected in a particular country or region, and thus to facilitate a rapid and effective response to manage the situation. This guide outlines and discusses the elements and steps needed to formulate and implement a contingency plan for key forest pests in Europe and Central Asia. This effort is complemented by FAO’s Forest Invasive Species Network for Europe and Central Asia (REUFIS), which aims to facilitate knowledge exchange, promote good practices, and build capacities related to forest invasive species, including the prevention and management of emerging pests.Suggestions are provided on the main steps, or elements, in a PCP for forests pests. The guidelines highlight the main information that should be included for a robust plan that can be activated in response to a new report of a pest or a pest outbreak, for example from official surveillance, reports from the public, or to an interception by an importing country. The report provides a step-by-step guide on developing an effective PCP tailored to specific needs. For some of the steps, examples are provided on the details that would be included for specific pests. These pests are the emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis, a potential insect pest introduction into parts of Europe and Central Asia; the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle Ips typographus, native to many parts of Europe and Asia, but where outbreaks can cause substantial tree mortality; and pitch canker Fusarium circinatum, a potential fungal pathogen introduction into parts of Europe and Central Asia. Most of the content of the guide is relevant for the development of PCPs across different regions. However, the examples provided are specific to Europe and Central Asia.

    Food policy, rural development and gender equality in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia
    Summary and recommendations of the International forum (10, 12, 17 March 2021)
    2022
    Also available in:
    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) commissioned the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow to organize the international forum “Food policy, rural development and gender equality in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia: current trends and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic” which took place on 10, 12 and 17 March 2021. This paper is based on the discussions held at the webinars. It identifies and documents the key issues to inform stakeholders, and serves as a reference for the work of FAO and other development actors in the region. The presentations and discussions focused on the role of women in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan) and South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia), but also highlighted cases from the Russian Federation, other Eastern European countries (Belarus, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine), the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) and Turkey. This summary lists examples of promising practices in the region and beyond to improve the socio-economic opportunities of rural women and young people. In addition, based on the discussions of all three webinars, the summary offers a range of policy recommendations that can be deployed by FAO and Members.
