ProjectProgramme / project reportMyanmar Community Livelihood Assistance Project : Boosting Food Production Capacity to Address Food Security and Resilient Livelihoods in Crisis-Affected Regions/States of Myanmar
Environmental and Social Management Framework
2024Also available in:
The World Bank and FAO are collaborating on the Myanmar Community Livelihood Assistance Project to enhance access to emergency aid, basic services, and livelihood opportunities for vulnerable communities. FAO focuses on rehabilitating agriculture by offering technical, material, and financial support to farmers in conflict-affected areas. The project will provide agricultural inputs, training, and cash transfers to boost crop, livestock, and fisheries productivity across 225 villages in six regions of Myanmar. An Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been established to address risks such as waste, water contamination, and the exclusion of vulnerable groups. Mitigation measures align with World Bank, FAO, and Myanmar’s regulations and include guidelines on agricultural practices, labor, land use, and community health. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan and Grievance Redress Mechanism are also part of the framework. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportMyanmar Community Livelihood Assistance Project : Boosting Food Production Capacity to Address Food Security and Resilient Livelihoods in Crisis-Affected Regions/States of Myanmar
Project concept note
2024Also available in:
No results found.This project proposes a conflict-sensitive, integrated programme aimed at building resilience in Myanmar’s most affected and vulnerable communities facing multiple shocks, including conflict, climate risks, and economic crises. The programme will focus on Chin, Kayah, Kayin, Rakhine, and Sagaing states, where food security and agricultural livelihoods are most severely impacted. Grounded in participatory context analysis, interventions will be designed to address the specific vulnerabilities and needs of displaced, returnee, and host populations. FAO’s efforts will include rehabilitating the agricultural sector through both short- and long-term assistance, utilizing a Cash Plus modality that combines cash transfers with agricultural inputs and technical support. By promoting community-based recovery, disaster risk management, and sustainable agricultural practices, the programme seeks to reduce dependency on humanitarian aid and foster long-term development and peace. Through this integrated approach across the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, FAO aims to improve food security, enhance social cohesion, and increase resilience to multiple shocks, ultimately contributing to the recovery and stability of conflict-affected communities. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

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:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
