Synopsis (short abstract) This paper is an effort to rationalize and strategize actions to be undertaken in order to improve SFE and SFE countries. While there are already important developments by the countries themselves, the UN, other multilateral and bilateral partners, it is found important to present an approach aiming at clarifying the issues, proposing capacity building actions and type of project activities to develop and support. It is a work in progress.

    The FAO Representation in Ethiopia has been operational since 1981, providing technical assistance to the Government of Ethiopia in combating hunger and malnutrition. The agency is consolidating its work in the country, and has recently finalized the FAO-Ethiopia Country Programming Framework (CPF)�, which it hopes will better align its work towards the national development priorities. The Framework outlines three priority focus areas: productivity and competitiveness, sustainable land managemen t, Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and food/nutrition security.

    The Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is a Multidisciplinary technical and policy advisory office for agriculture and rural development based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. SFE mainly serves as the first port of call for advisory and technical support to the eight SFE member countries of: Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda through a multidisciplinary team composed of technical officers locate d at the Subregional office and at the national level in the FAO Country Offices. This brochure provides a brief overview of the Subregion and SFE interventions in collaboration with governments and other development partners.

    Evolution of global agrifood trade and trade policy and implications for nutrition 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    While international agrifood trade is critically relevant for the availability and supply of food across many countries, import tariffs are a policy instrument with relatively modest potential to steer consumers towards purchasing more nutritious food. Employing a number of newly developed datasets, this research project examines patterns and developments in the links between agrifood trade and nutrition and assesses how trade policy shapes food prices. The analysis is undertaken at a global level with a focus on the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, a set of countries which is particularly dependent on agrifood imports. The results show that agrifood imports are a critical source of calories, macro-nutrients as well as vitamins and minerals for most countries in the world. On the supply side, a small number of countries account for the bulk of globally traded calories and nutrients. These findings show that calorie and nutrient availabilities are shaped significantly by global trade. With regard to how import tariffs affect the relative prices of foods with different nutritional characteristics, econometric estimations suggest that on average import tariffs have only a relatively modest effect on the relative prices of different foods. The concentration patterns of caloric and nutrient supply in a small number of supplying countries reinforce calls to diversify global food markets and trade. As for trade policy options, the modest effects of tariffs suggest that exploring other domestic and trade policy options would be necessary to significantly improve nutritional outcomes.

    Food Systems Profile - Somalia
    Catalysing the sustainable and inclusive transformation of food systems
    2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Food systems are intimately linked to our lives – through the food we eat, our nutrition and health, our livelihoods, jobs, and the environment and natural resources of the planet. The main challenge for food systems is to produce nutritious food for all while preserving our biodiversity and environment and ensuring equitable distribution of wealth. This Food Systems Profile provides a summary of the main food system issues in Somalia and highlights potential solutions for their sustainable and inclusive transformation. It is the result of a systemic analysis and stakeholders' consultation that was part of a global assessment of food systems in over 50 countries, following a joint initiative by the EU, FAO, and CIRAD which aims at catalyzing the sustainable and inclusive transformation of food systems.

    Mapping of salt-affected soils – Technical manual 2020
    Also available in:
    Salt-affected soils such as saline or sodic soils are distributed in all continents at various levels of problem intensity. They are soils with high amounts of soluble salts and/or sodium ions. An updated information of their distribution and drivers is a first step towards their sustainable management. This book provides technical guidelines and approach for developing a harmonized multiscale soil information of salt-affected soils. The book is organized into three sections covering seven chapters. The sections are sequentially arranged but independently designed to benefit focused readership who may want to go straight to any section. Section 1 gives the background information. It has three chapters covering existing literature on the characteristics and mapping methods for salt problems in the soil. It is intended to illustrate the basic concepts, linkage of the characteristics of salt-affected soils with input data requirements for their mapping, existing classification methods, and global distribution of these soils. Section 2 covers the methodological procedures for developing multiscale spatial information of salt-affected soils. It has two chapters describing requirements, input data preparation, and the procedural steps for developing spatial information of salt-affected soils. It outlines how data from different sources and characteristics are harmonized and integrated to produce information of salt-affected soils. Section 3 covers information sharing and resources mobilization when developing information on salt-affected soils. It gives the guidelines for preparing spatial maps and steps for value-addition to benefit end-users of the information. It also contains a generic training program for building technical capacity for mapping salt-affected
