Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureWorking towards ZERO rabies in Viet Nam 2016
Also available in:
Rabies became a pressing problem in the Northern mountainous provinces of Viet Nam and gradually spreading to other provinces which has no or few cases for many years. Between 2007-2015, approximately 90 people died from rabies annually in 30 provinces (out of 63 nationwide). The provinces with the highest number of deaths were Phu Tho, Yen Bai, Hanoi, Tuyen Quang, and Gia Lai. Dogs are responsible for transmitting the virus to more than 95% of rabies cases in humans in Viet Nam. During the past five year, approximate of 400,000 people received Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) including bite wound treatment and vaccination preventing further human deaths (NIHE report 2015). Key factors contributing to the disease spread include limited dog vaccination coverage, awareness and access to human rabies vaccine as well as low trust in the PEP. According to the Department of Animal Health (DAH) report in 2015, the country has a large number of unvaccinated free-roaming dogs especially in rural areas. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
