DocumentPolicy briefCuando las emergencias duran décadas
Cómo mejorar la seguridad alimentaria en las crisis prolongadas
2010Actualmente hay 33 países que se enfrentan a crisis de seguridad alimentaria, 14 de los cuales llevan en esta situación desde hace más de una década. Cuando las emergencias se prolongan durante tanto tiempo, los tradicionales paradigmas humanitarios y de desarrollo no son válidos para dar respuestas adecuadas. Más que embarcarse en programas de socorro ad hoc, las intervenciones deberían seguir estrategias a largo plazo y apoyarse en las instituciones locales. -
ProjectFactsheetRecuperación de la economía de la población víctima del conflicto armado en Colombia - UTF/COL/124/COL 2022
Also available in:
No results found.En Colombia en julio de 2022, se reportan 9 328 449 personas como víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia, cifra que sigue creciendo, incluso después de la firma del Acuerdo de la Habana. La desmovilización de las FARC EP ocasionó la reconfiguración de los Grupos Armados No Estatales (GANE), que se disputan el control de territorios para desarrollar actividades económicas ilegales. Dicho control trae consigo acciones violentas en contra de la población, principalmente en entornos rurales, generando graves repercusiones sobre los medios de subsistencia de comunidades rurales, reduciendo la producción de alimentos e incrementando el riesgo de inseguridad alimentaria y malnutrición, en una clara violación del derecho humano a la alimentación. En el marco de la Ley 1448 de 2011 y sus decretos reglamentarios, el objetivo principal del proyecto fue mejorar la efectividad en la implementación de acciones de reparación a los daños sufridos por la población rural debido al conflicto armado interno, relacionadas con la seguridad alimentaria, la producción agropecuaria y la generación de ingresos, mediante la apropiación de recursos técnicos y metodológicos por parte de la UARIV. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of the World’s Forests 2020
Forests, biodiversity and people
2020As the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity 2011–2020 comes to a close and countries prepare to adopt a post-2020 global biodiversity framework, this edition of The State of the World’s Forests (SOFO) examines the contributions of forests, and of the people who use and manage them, to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Forests cover just over 30 percent of the global land area, yet they provide habitat for the vast majority of the terrestrial plant and animal species known to science. Unfortunately, forests and the biodiversity they contain continue to be under threat from actions to convert the land to agriculture or unsustainable levels of exploitation, much of it illegal.The State of the World’s Forests 2020 assesses progress to date in meeting global targets and goals related to forest biodiversity and examines the effectiveness of policies, actions and approaches, in terms of both conservation and sustainable development outcomes. A series of case studies provide examples of innovative practices that combine conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity to create balanced solutions for both people and the planet. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureAnticipating the impacts of COVID-19 in humanitarian and food crisis contexts 2020While the COVID-19 pandemic is devastating lives, public health systems, livelihoods and economies all over the world, populations living in food crisis contexts are particularly exposed to its effects. Countries with existing humanitarian crises are particularly exposed to the effects of the pandemic, which is already directly affecting food systems through impacts on food supply and demand, and indirectly through decreases in purchasing power, the capacity to produce and distribute food, and the intensification of care tasks, all of which will have differentiated impacts and will more strongly affect the most vulnerable populations. The effects could be even stronger in countries that are already facing exceptional emergencies with direct consequences for the agricultural sectors, such as the ongoing desert locust outbreak in Eastern Africa, the Near East and Southwest Asia. Lessons learned from previous crises should inform policy and action today. The outbreak of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) in West Africa, the financial crisis of 2007–2008, or other crisis, could serve as an example as they all highlight the need to act quickly and anticipate the collateral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic by devising appropriate policy measures, maintaining and upscaling humanitarian food security interventions, and protecting the livelihoods and food access of the most vulnerable people, particularly those in food crisis contexts.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
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.
