    The Meeting the Undernutrition Challenge (MUCH) programme, funded jointly by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the European Union, had the overall objective to improve the enabling environment to eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition in Bangladesh. The programme enhanced a national policy shift toward addressing nutrition by improving policy processes with more participation of civil society and subnational stakeholders, enriching policy and programming to address needs throughout the country. The programme supported significant enhancement of technical capacities to gather and analyze food security and nutrition evidence, innovative approaches for engaging students in nutrition learning activities, and improved the links between research and policy-making. Subnational capacity development support was initiated in the middle of the programme, identifying important opportunities for impactful multi-stakeholder collaboration on implementing national policy. The evaluation noted important effort on gender issues, but pointed out that emphasizing women’s empowerment and gender equity within all FSN programming is critical to success. To eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition throughout Bangladesh more work is especially needed in formalizing improved food-sector collaboration and multi-stakeholder governance mechanisms to continuously develop, learn, share and implement good practice at all levels.

    Evaluation of FAO's work on reducing food loss and waste under Programme Priority Area "better nutrition 4" 2024

    Reducing food loss and waste (FLW) is critical for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production, specifically target 12.3 “Halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains”. Progress against this target is monitored through the Food Loss Index (FLI), developed by FAO. Behind the goal is a global movement to reevaluate our food production and consumption systems and reduce the waste they generate.The FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031 includes 20 Programme Priority Areas (PPAs). This was the first evaluation of a PPA. It focussed on Better Nutrition 4 (BN4) - Reducing Food Loss and Waste. Covering 2015 to 2023, the evaluation aimed to enhance FAO's contributions to FLW reduction. Based on eleven country case studies, a review of FAO reports on FLW and of their audience, more than 175 interviews and a survey of national statisticians trained on the FLI, the evaluation found that FAO has positioned itself as a key player on food loss and waste reduction thanks to high-quality publications such as the State of Food and Agriculture (SOFA) 2019. FAO’s focus has broadened from primarily addressing post-harvest losses to encompassing entire value chains, including at retail and consumer levels. Elevating food loss and waste as a standalone PPA within the FAO's Strategic Framework 2022–2031 has highlighted its critical role at the heart of agrifood system reform but has done little to mobilize resources. BN4 remains the smallest of all PPAs, accounting for less than 1 percent of FAO’s field programme. The evaluation called for better integration of socioeconomic, environmental and gender considerations in FLW strategies and projects, emphasizing the need for more resources and innovative solutions.
