DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluation of Strengthening of Agricultural Research in Eritrea (GCP/ERI/006/ITA)
Report of the Evaluation Mission
2006Also available in:
No results found.The following document represents the views of the independent evaluation mission on the performance and achievements of the project Strengthening of Agricultural Research in Eritrea (GCP/ERI/006/ITA). The project began its operations in September 2001 and most activities are planned to end in June 2006. (A forerunner project GCP/ERI/001/ITA Strengthening the Agricultural Research and Extension Division began in September 1996 and ended in March 2001.) After a slow start, a tripartite review mee ting (TPR) in March 2004 extended the project (initially up to December 2005, now planned for 2007), and also made a provision for a full-time CTA. This evaluation focuses on the current phase of the project and in particular on the period following the TPR, in order to assess results achieved and provide recommendations to the Government, FAO and the donor on the further steps necessary to consolidate progress and ensure achievement of overall objectives. -

DocumentEvaluation reportManagement response to the Tripartite External Evaluation of the FAO GCP/VIE/029/ITA Project (IMOLA) 2008
Also available in:
No results found.The general conclusions to which the Tripartite External Evaluation came to are shared by the FAO country office, in the way that the implementing Department of Fishery offered an overall modest assistance to the project, an erratic deployment of financial resources and facilities and lack of continuity of seconded personnel. On one hand these are structural difficulties that are inherent to any start-up phase of any field-implemented project; on the other hand, there was a good appreciation of the project achievements and support interventions at the level of the communities, in such a way that the lack of sense of ownership demonstrated by at least part of the top management was compensated by the total syntony with lower level authorities.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -

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.
