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. -

Avec et pour les jeunes
2023Also available in:
La région du Sahel est un lieu d'opportunités, riche en ressources humaines, naturelles et culturelles. Cependant, l'insécurité, le changement climatique, la montée de l'extrémisme radical, l'érosion de la cohésion sociale et la pénurie d'opportunités économiques et professionnelles sont autant de défis majeurs auxquels la région doit se mesurer. Le Forum régional « Renforcer la résilience et la cohésion sociale des jeunes sahéliens par leur inclusion dans les systèmes agroalimentaires » a été organisé par l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) en collaboration avec le Secrétariat du G5 Sahel. Le forum a également bénéficié de l'appui technique de l'Agence de promotion des investissements en Mauritanie (APIM), du Fonds international pour le développement agricole (FIDA), de l'Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) et du Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement (PNUD). Cette note d'orientation rend compte des travaux et délibérations convenues lors du forum régional tout en soulignant les priorités concernant les besoins les plus urgents des jeunes afin de faciliter la cohésion sociale et leur inclusion dans le développement rural de leurs territoires, tout en identifiant les opportunités existantes pour renforcer l'inclusion des jeunes dans les systèmes agroalimentaires. -
ProjectFactsheetRenforcer la résilience et la productivité agricole dans les zones affectées par les conflits: une initiative de développement global des capacités - GCP/GLO/009/ITA 2024
Also available in:
Les conflits et la fragilité, qui touchent environ deux milliards de personnes dans le monde, sont à l’origine de l’extrême pauvreté, des migrations, du terrorisme et des trafics illégaux. D’ici 2030, 60 pour cent des personnes les plus pauvres du monde pourraient vivre dans des zones touchées par des conflits. Les conflits annulent les progrès du développement et sont souvent exacerbés par l’exploitation des ressources naturelles, ce qui a un impact sur la stabilité et la paix. Les régions fragiles, qui dépendent fortement de l’agriculture, sont celles qui souffrent le plus, les conflits affectant gravement les moyens d’existence des populations rurales et la production alimentaire. Une gestion efficace des ressources naturelles est par conséquent cruciale dans ces contextes. Le renforcement des systèmes de gestion des terres et de l’eau favorise la consolidation de la paix et le développement durable. La région du Sahel, confrontée à de multiples crises –alimentaire, environnementale, d’insécurité et d’instabilité politique –illustre ces défis. Le changement climatique et le chômage des jeunes déstabilisent encore plus la région, augmentant le risque de conflit et de migration.La reprise dépend de politiques nationales fortes et d’un soutien international. Les capacités et les institutions locales sont essentielles pour une reconstruction durable. Investir dans l’ingéniosité locale est rentable pour reconstruire le secteur agricole et lutter contre l’insécurité alimentaire dans les zones touchées par les conflits. Le projet a ciblé la Libye, le Mali et le Niger pour améliorer la gestion des ressources naturelles, renforcer les institutions et le capital humain, dans le but de stimuler la productivité agricole, la sécurité alimentaire et les progrès vers les ODD.

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. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
