ProjectFactsheetRenforcement des capacités de la CEDEAO en matière de prévention, surveillance et lutte contre le criquet pèlerin ainsi que l’analyse de son impact sur la SAN au Sahel dans le contexte de covid-19 - TCP/SFW/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Au moment de la formulation du projet, le Sahel était menacé d’une invasion acridienne à partir de juin 2020, avec deux scénarios envisagés: i) une superficie de 300 000 ha à traiter dans six pays du Sahel (Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritanie, Niger, Sénégal et Tchad), avec 100 000 ménages ruraux hautement vulnérables; ii) une superficie de 500 000 ha à traiter dans les six pays cités, plus le Cameroun, la Gambie et le Nigéria, avec 150 000 ménages ruraux hautement vulnérables. En effet, une invasion acridienne a de multiples répercussions néfastes sur la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle (SAN) des ménages dans les pays concernés qu’il convient de prévenir ou de réduire au mieux. Le présent projet venait donc appuyer la Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (CEDEAO) dans son rôle de coordination régionale des actions de surveillance, de prévention, d'information, de suivi/analyse d’impact, d’alerte précoce et de lutte intégrée contre les ravageurs des plantes ¬ et en particulier le criquet pèlerin¬, en étroite collaboration avec d’autres institutions régionales telles que la Commission de lutte contre le criquet pèlerin dans la région occidentale (CLCPRO) et le Comité permanent inter-États de lutte contre la sécheresse dans le Sahel (CILSS). -
ProjectProgramme / project reportIntegrating Agro-Ecological Approaches to Increase Resilience to Climate Change and Improve Sustainable Food Systems in West Africa and the Sahel - TCP/SFW/3703 2022
Also available in:
The role agro-ecology plays in dealing with the food and climate crises, by enhancing local biodiversity and natural resource conservation, is increasingly clear. It responds to the triple challenge facing the agriculture sector: poverty eradication, increased productivity, and sustainability. However, West Africa and the Sahel lack sufficient national and subregional data on agro-ecology; and this hinders the implementation of policies to support systems for applying the best solutions for soil conservation, biodiversity, water and community empowerment at the local level. To support agro-ecological transition initiatives, the project was tasked with developing a ten-year programme to promote agro-ecology in West Africa and the Sahel, involving ten of the region’s countries. -
ProjectFactsheetImproving Resilience, Stability and Social Cohesion through Employment Opportunities in the Sahel - GCP/GLO/050/GER 2023
Also available in:
The countries of the Group of Five for the Sahel (G5 Sahel) are experiencing a demographic transition characterized by a growing population. The region has a population of over 75 million, 60 percent of whom are below the age of 25, with two thirds still living in rural areas., Populations across the five countries are growing rapidly and expected to rise to more than 200 million by 2050. Up to 41 million young people in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger alone are considered at risk of radicalization or migration, given that the region is both the departure point for migrants and a key corridor of different migration routes. Without significant action to improve access to education, vocational training and quality employment, the Sahel is at risk of becoming a hub of mass migration and for recruitment and training of radical groups. The economic transformation of rural areas and the creation of jobs for millions of rural young people are therefore fundamental pre-conditions to stability in the region. The project therefore aimed to build resilience and social cohesion among youth while improving their livelihood stability in fragile contexts through innovative approaches allowing them to increase their access to sustainable employment opportunities.

Book (series)Technical studyRisk assessment of Listeria monocytogenes in foods. Part 2: Risk Assessment
Meeting report
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Fifty-second Session of the Codex Committee on Food Hygiene (CCFH) requested the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Meeting on Microbiological Risk Assessment (JEMRA) to undertake full production-to-consumption risk assessments of L. monocytogenes in foods to inform a possible revision of the Guidelines on the application of general principles of food hygiene to the control of Listeria monocytogenes in foods.In response to this request, JEMRA convened a series of meetings, to prepare and develop risk assessments for Listeria monocytogenes in various foods. Several risk assessment models were developed and evaluated to characterize the risk of listeriosis due to the consumption of diced ready-to-eat cantaloupe, frozen vegetables, and cold-smoked ready-to-eat fish. Additionally, an updated dose–response model for Listeria monocytogenes was developed.This report describes the output of this expert meeting and the advice herein is useful for both risk assessors and risk managers, at national and international levels and those in the food industry working to control the hazard in foods.
