Synopsis (short abstract) Defining accurately the amount and quality of protein required to meet human nutritional needs and describing appropriately the protein supplied by foods and diets is critical in meeting global nutrition targets. This collaboration between Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) brought together subject matter experts from around the globe to gather data and plan the next steps needed to ensure improved accessed to information and advice on protein digestibility. The scientific advice generated by the experts will form the basis for the development of a robust database on amino acid digestibility of foods and diets. The main technical reports are available to the broader public, as FAO is committed to broad and unrestricted access to information, and all publications are made freely available in a growing variety of formats and media.

Expanding Global Nutrition Data Access: the FAOSTAT Food and Diet Domain - FMM/GLO/172/MUL 2024

A major barrier to achieving healthy diets for all is the lack of comprehensive dietary data to guide evidence-based policies. Understanding consumption patterns is essential for nutrition policies, agriculture, health interventions and education. In many low- and middle-income countries, large-scale food consumption surveys are limited, leaving decision-makers to rely on national food availability data, like the Supply Utilization Accounts (SUA), or household data from Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES). While useful, these sources have limitations. SUA, for instance, includes only energy, protein and fat but lacks essential micronutrient data. Under the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031, a multi division team developed and launched the Food and Diet Domain on the FAO Corporate Food and Agriculture Database (FAOSTAT), providing publicly accessible, harmonized dietary data to support global healthy diet policies. This resource fills gaps in dietary data and enhances the ability of policymakers and stakeholders to make informed decisions.

This document contains the Report and papers presented at the Regional Workshop on Networking for Improved Access to Fisheries and Aquaculture Information in Africa, which was held in Grahamstown, South Africa, from 3 to 7 November 2003. Eighteen participants from Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritania, Nigeria, Seychelles and South Africa attended the Workshop and presented papers. Fisheries library networking activities were reviewed as a basis for planning future collaboration to improve ac cess to fisheries information and to promote information resources sharing. The summary of priority issues includes improved dissemination of African fisheries publications, full-text online fisheries journals, open source software, network focal points, the use of standard methodologies to enhance information exchange and technology for document delivery. The long-term goal of the network is to strengthen the information capacity at national fisheries institutions in Africa.
