The project specifically aimed at addressing the NLBI by identifying gaps, strengths and weakness, determining priorities and formulating projects to address the gaps. In 2011, series of workshops were conducted at national and county level to create awareness on the Forest Instrument and assess Liberia status vis-à-vis the twenty five (25) principles and measures. Fifteen (15) workshops were conducted covering all counties in the country. A total of 665 people comprising County Forest Forum (CFF), civil society, government agencies, judiciary, NGOs, women groups, youth groups, etc participated in the workshops to identify their respective county priority policies and measures. Besides, a two-day national stakeholder workshop was or ganized on October 27-28 2011. The workshop was attended by more than 80 participants representing government agencies, experts in forestry sector, civil society, universities, local authorities, development partners and representatives of the CFFs. It also included representatives of the media and the wood industry. The origin of the Forest Instrument, its purpose, and the national policies and measures agreed in the instrument were presented to the participants. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking progress on food and agriculture-related SDG indicators 2025 2025The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the 2030 Agenda is now more crucial than ever, as the target date draws near and many goals are still far from being achieved. Countries across the globe are grappling with an array of complex and interconnected challenges, including ongoing conflicts, health crises, biodiversity loss, the escalating impacts of climate change, and political and economic tensions. FAO is the custodian agency for 22 SDG indicators spanning Goals 2, 5, 6, 12, 14 and 15. Among its key responsibilities as a custodian agency is to curate the indicator methodologies, collect, harmonize and compile data from countries, as well as disseminate and analyse data at global level. This report provides an analysis of regional and global figures and trends for the 22 SDG indicators under FAO's responsibility, thus fulfilling one of FAO’s key roles as custodian agency. The world is at a moderate distance from achieving roughly half of the food and agriculture-related SDG indicators under FAO custodianship; one-quarter of the indicators are close to being achieved, whereas another quarter remains far or very far from being achieved. Meanwhile, progress since 2015 has deteriorated on over three-fifths of the indicators; one indicator has stagnated; whereas only the remaining one-third of indicators have registered an improvement or slight improvement.

BookletTechnical briefThe Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems
Overview
2025Young people stand at the heart of a rapidly changing world. They have the vision, energy and entrepreneurial spirit to find new and innovative ways to cultivate, create, package and transport the food we all need. If adequately nourished, educated, equipped with resources and involved in decision-making, young people can drive economic transformation and global prosperity. This brief presents the key messages and findings from the FAO report The Status of Youth in Agrifood Systems – the most comprehensive evidence-based analysis of youth engagement in agrifood systems to date. It highlights both the opportunities available to young people and the structural barriers they face, offering actionable recommendations for policymakers and development actors. The aim is to support more equitable and sustainable agrifood systems, where rural youth are not only beneficiaries but also drivers of change.
