Synopsis (short abstract) The agricultural sector is underperforming in many countries in sub- Saharan Africa, partly because rural women do not have the same access as men to the critical resources, inputs, services, information and infrastructure they need to be more productive. Against this background, many countries in the region, together with development partners such as FAO, are increasingly committed to supporting the acceleration of rural women’s economic empowerment through targeted interventions. This project focused on advancing the economic empowerment of rural women in three countries, namely the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Gambia and Eswatini, as a means of reducing rural poverty, improving gender equality and enhancing the performance of the agricultural sector. In each of the countries, the project activities built on and contributed to existing rural development strategies and programmes.

    Le Département du Sud Est, et notamment l’arrondissement de Belle Anse (communes d’Anse à Pitre Belle Anse, Grand Gosier et Thiotte a été fortement affecté par la sécheresse de 2014 à 2015 Cette catastrophe naturelle a diminué de plus de la moitié la production agricole des exploitations familiales En octobre 2016 l’ouragan Matthew avait aussi frappé ce même Département au moment où sa production agricole était encore déficitaire, avec un nombre élevé de ménages en situation d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë Les inégalités entre hommes et femmes au sein des communautés haïtiennes étant souvent exacerbées durant les situations d’urgence, les catastrophes naturelles récentes ont rendu encore plus vulnérable la situation des femmes et filles rurales des départements affectés Leur capacité à développer des mécanismes d’adaptation reste très faible alors qu’elles sont plus responsables de l’alimentation familiale que les hommes, particulièrement la nutrition des enfants de moins de cinq ans.

    Appui à l’autonomisation des femmes rurales au Mali - GCP/MLI/062/MNC 2023

    Au Mali, plus de 70 pour cent de la production alimentaire est assurée par les femmes, qui pratiquent l’agriculture, l’élevage et la pêche. Les femmes rurales jouent un rôle crucial dans la production, la transformation et la commercialisation des aliments et elles sont les garantes de la sécurité alimentaire de leur famille et de leur communauté. L’amélioration du statut social et économique des femmes au sein de leur foyer et de leur communauté a un impact direct sur la sécurité alimentaire et la nutrition, en particulier sur la nutrition des enfants. Cependant, leur situation reste précaire. Leur accès aux actifs de production, ainsi qu’au contrôle et à la gestion des ressources demeure très limité. Dans les régions du nord du pays, les femmes sont moins impliquées que les hommes dans les travaux agricoles. Avec le conflit, la crise alimentaire, la dégradation de la situation socio-économique et des conditions sanitaires, la détérioration de la situation nutritionnelle s’est fortement accentuée (30 pour cent de malnutrition infantile). Le projet devait apporter une assistance technique à 350 ménages vulnérables du cercle de Mopti en renforçant leur capacité de production par la création d’actifs de production et de transformation.

    Le projet RWEE est basé sur les besoins spécifiques des bénéficiaires en Tunisie qui est le premier pays sélectionné dans la région NENA. Ce projet s'étend sur cinq ans (2022-2027) et prend en considération le contexte spécifique de la Tunisie à travers deux gouvernorats : Kairouan et Jendouba. Le projet RWEE touche 3 000 bénéficiaires dont 14 400 ménages composés d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants. Le programme ciblera 2 220 femmes et 780 hommes en tant que bénéficiaires directs. Ce programme est considéré comme la première expérience de quatre agences du système des Nations Unies (FAO / PAM / IFAD / UN WOMEN) qui interviennent pour devenir un exemple de coordination réussie et qui se complètent mutuellement pour une plus grande valeur ajoutée dans la mise en œuvre des activités du projet.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.
