DocumentBulletinPost-2015 y ODS: Alimentar a las personas, nutrir al planeta. Noviembre-Diciembre 2013. e-bulletin Issue No.1
La FAO y la agena de desarrollo post-2015 Informe tematico, 14 temas
2013El mundo tiene la capacidad de producir suficientes alimentos para alimentar adecuadamente a todos. Sin embargo, a pesar de los progresos realizados en las últimas dos décadas, unos 795 millones de personas en el mundo, o algo más de uno de cada nueve seres humanos, todavía sufren de hambre a base diaria. Si bien ha disminuido de un 18.6 por ciento entre 1990-92 a un 10.9 por ciento entre 2014- 16, este número persistente elevado sigue siendo inaceptable. -

Rapport mensuel sur les tendances des prix alimentaires
2015En mai, les cours internationaux du blé et du maïs se sont établis en moyenne à des niveaux inférieurs à ceux du mois précédent, bien en-deçà des valeurs observées un an plus tôt, sous l’effet de perspectives globalement favorables concernant les récoltes de 2015. Les cours du riz ont également fléchi, en raison principalement d’un ralentissement des exportations. En Afrique de l’Est, au Kenya, en République-Unie de Tanzanie et en Ouganda, les prix du maïs se sont encore raffermis en mai, après les fortes hausses enregistrées en avril, et ont ainsi doublé de valeur en trois mois sur plusieurs marchés. La hausse récente des prix s’explique par des perspectives de récoltes incertaines couplées à une forte demande d’exportation à l’échelle régionale. En Afrique australe, au cours du mois de mai, les prix ont augmenté en Afrique du Sud, principal pays producteur, malgré la récolte en cours, tandis qu’ils ont fléchi ailleurs dans la sous-région, mais à un rythme inférieur à la normale. Le s prix ont été soutenus par des perspectives de récolte fortement réduite. Dans l’ensemble, les prix du maïs sont restés au-dessus des niveaux observés en mai 2014. -

Book (stand-alone)GuidelineVoluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security 2012The guidelines are the first comprehensive, global instrument on tenure and its administration to be prepared through intergovernmental negotiations. The guidelines set out principles and internationally accepted standards of responsible practices for the use and control of land, fisheries and forests. They provide guidance for improving the policy, legal and organizational frameworks that regulate tenure rights; for enhancing the transparency and administration of tenure systems; and for strengthening the capacities and operations of public bodies, private sector enterprises, civil society organizations and people concerned with tenure and its governance. The guidelines place the governance of tenure within the context of national food security, and are intended to contribute to the progressive realization of the right to adequate food, poverty eradication, environmental protection and sustainable social and economic development.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations 2013FAO has been working for many years with hundreds of civil society organizations (NGOs, community-based organizations, professional associations, networks, etc.) in technical work, emergency field operations, training and capacity building, and advocacy of best agricultural practices. Over the past years, civil society organizations (CSOs) have evolved in terms of coordination, structure, outreach, mobilization and advocacy capacity. In this period, FAO has also undergone changes i n management, revised its Strategic Framework and given a new impetus to decentralization. Therefore, a review of the existing 1999 FAO Policy and Strategy for Cooperation with Non-Governmental and Civil Society Organizations was needed. The FAO Strategy for Partnerships with Civil Society considers civil society as those non-state actors that work in the areas related to FAO’s mandate. It does not address partnerships with academia, research institutions or philanthropic found ations, as they will be treated in other FAO documents. Food producers’ organizations, given their specific nature and relevance in relation to FAO’s mandate, will be considered separately. In principle, as they usually are for-profit, they will fall under the FAO Strategy for Partnerships with the Private Sector, unless these organizations state otherwise and comply with the criteria for CSOs. These cases will be addressed individually. The Strategy identifies six areas of colla boration and two levels of interaction with different rationales and modus operandi: global-headquarters and decentralized (regional, national, local). The main focus of this Strategy is in working with civil society at th e decentralized level. In its Reviewed Strategic Framework, FAO has defined five Strategic Objectives to eradicate poverty and food insecurity. To achieve this, the Organization is seeking to expand its collaboration with CSOs committed to these objectives.
