Book (stand-alone)The path to change: how focusing on governance strengthened policies and institutions for food and nutrition security in Guatemala
Governance and policy support case study

No results found.Over the past few years, Guatemala has adopted more inclusive food security policies, focusing on long-term solutions and placing family farmers at the centre. With support from the EU-FAO FIRST partnership, Guatemala has updated its policies to promote more sustainable agrifood systems and increased civil society participation, moving away from short-term aid to addressing structural poverty. This shift marks a long-term commitment to agrifood systems transformation, backed by increased multisectoral collaboration. This case study illustrates the vital role governance has played in shaping effective food and nutrition security strategies in Guatemala. It emphasizes the need for ongoing multistakeholder engagement to address the country’s profound challenges and ensure no one suffers from hunger or malnutrition. -
ProjectPromoting Nutrition-Sensitive Food Systems through a Multistakeholder Approach - GCP/GLO/712/JPN 2020

No results found.Eliminating malnutrition in all its forms is imperative to breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. To ensure that food systems support healthy diets and better nutrition, it is necessary to strengthen the knowledge base and capacities of key stakeholders. With funding from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) of Japan, FAO is implementing a project in Ghana, Kenya and Viet Nam, with the overall goal of developing the capacities of relevant academic institutions and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in these countries to promote and adopt nutrition-sensitive approaches that contribute to making food systems conducive to healthy diets. The three expected Outputs can be summarized as follows: (i) to improve capacities of nutrition- and food science-oriented universities to transfer skills and competencies on nutrition-sensitive food systems and value chains; (ii) to scale up the capacities of SMEs to adopt nutrition-sensitive business approaches and practices through multistakeholder collaboration, including the private sector, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), and academia; and (iii) to develop an e-learning course targeting SMEs for the improvement of knowledge and skills on nutritionsensitive food systems, which will be disseminated in the targeted countries and worldwide. -
