ProjectProgramme / project reportSupporting Pandemic Preparedness and Response through a One Health Approach in Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka - GCP/GLO/1182/WBK 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Health threats significantly impact social and economic well-being and jeopardize progress towards the SDGs, as demonstrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The One Health approach addresses threats at the human–animal–plant–environment interface, fostering multisectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration for more sustainable outcomes, including pandemic prevention and cost-effective control of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. In South Asia, countries have shown strong commitment to One Health, recognizing its role in improving health, agricultural productivity, food and nutrition security, and environmental protection as part of agrifood systems transformation. Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka are at particular risk and in high need of pandemic preparedness and additional capacity to mitigate threats. However, financing One Health at the country level remains a major challenge despite growing demand for investment planning and implementation support. This project was conceived to help countries, starting with Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Sri Lanka, leverage investment based on thorough prospecting and planning and anchored in national priorities, to mobilize significant resources for long-term impact. -
ProjectFactsheetSupporting Global Efforts to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance Using a One Health Approach - GCP/GLO/710/UK 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The availability and use of antimicrobial drugs in terrestrial and aquatic animals and in plant production is essential for both health and productivity and contributes to food security, food safety and animal welfare, and in turn, the protection of livelihoods and sustainability of food production systems. However, there are growing global concerns about resistance to antimicrobial drugs, including antibiotics, and that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will reverse these benefits. Developing countries are expected to bear the greatest burden of this problem. In this context, it is critical that countries’ food and agriculture sectors are equipped to address AMR and ensure that antimicrobials are regulated and used in a responsible manner. To this end, the project aimed to support the engagement of the food and agriculture sectors in selected countries in the development and implementation of National Action Plans (NAP) on AMR, focusing on several key factors such as regulatory platforms, legislation, and capacity to collect data on antimicrobial use (AMU), among others. -

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

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.
