Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureBlue food value chain solutions – Mobilising knowledge – Cameroon
Promoting responsible and sustainable fishing & processing techniques
2024Also available in:
This fact sheet presents the FISH4ACP programme that promotes responsible and sustainable fishing and processing techniques in Cameroon. The knowledge gained allows fishers to better preserve shrimp nurseries and spawning grounds, and protect mangrove forests. At the same time, fish processors will be able to improve processing practices, resulting in higher-quality shrimp that can be sold at a better price. -

FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) aimed at making fisheries and aquaculture value chains in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific more sustainable. It aims to increase the competitiveness and environmental sustainability of Cameroon’s shrimp sector, its main fish and seafood export product, to boost incomes and improve food and nutritional security. is implemented by FAO and partners with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -

Also available in:
Les aléas naturels et leurs impacts sur les populations qu’ils affectent peuvent varier dans le temps et dans l’espace. Les aléas naturels peuvent survenir soudainement ou évoluer lentement mais dans un cas comme dans l’autre, ils peuvent être dévastateurs pour une communauté, un pays ou une région. Les aléas à occurrence soudaine sont des aléas qui surviennent à la suite d’un événement unique avec peu ou pas de signes précurseurs, tels que les tsunamis, les tremblements de terre. La capacité de réaction des communautés et des institutions est limitée face à ces aléas. Les Systèmes d‘Alerte Précoce (SAP) sont au coeur des mesures qui permettent de limiter la perte de vies et de moyens de subsistance due aux aléas et aux catastrophes. Cette courte présentation montrera de quelle manière le SAP a évolué, et comment d‘un processus centralisé il est devenu un système qui allie technologie, connaissances et expériences locales pour renforcer la complémentarité et pour devenir plus centrée s ur les personnes, et donc avoir un impact plus important sur le terrain.
