DocumentCorporate general interestLa collaboration des organismes ayant leur siège à Rome pour le renforcement de la résilience. Collaboration au service du renforcement de la résilience. Étude de cas: Niger 2015

Le Niger est un pays enclavé, à faible revenu, qui connait des déficits vivriers fréquents. Il figure à la dernière place du classement mondial selon l’indice de développement humain1. L’espérance de vie à la naissance est de 58 ans et un enfant sur 10 n’atteint pas l’âge de cinq ans2. Quarante pour cent des enfants de moins de cinq ans souffrent de malnutrition chronique et environ 15 pour cent de malnutrition aiguë3. En outre, la malnutrition est à l’origine d’un tiers de la mortalité infantil e. Les 17,8 millions d’habitants constituent une population majoritairement rurale et se concentrent dans le sud. Près de la moitié des Nigériens vivent avec moins de 1,25 USD par jour4. Le taux de croissance démographique est extrêmement élevé (3,9 pour cent) et plus de la moitié de la population a moins de 15 ans5. Les trois quarts des Nigériens – et 82 pour cent des femmes – sont analphabètes6. Le manque d’infrastructures, d’accès à une eau saine et à l’assainissement, le faible taux de scola risation, les capacités de production restreintes, les disparités hommes-femmes et le fossé entre les villes et les campagnes entravent le développement. -

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
