ProjectEnhancing National Capacities to Support the Adoption, Production, and Use of Food Security and Nutrition Indicators - GCP/GLO/043/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.After a steady decline over the past few decades, world hunger has again been on the rise in the last two years. The increase in global hunger has now stalled, and in 2022, there were about 3.8 million fewer people suffering from hunger than in 2021. Nonetheless, the world is not on track to reach the global targets for food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture established by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Conflict, climate variability and extremes, economic downturns, and inequality are among the key factors causing this reversal. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 2.1 (by 2030 end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round) will not be achieved unless significant efforts are devoted to address the many factors behind the recently revealed sad truth that more than 2 billion people worldwide may be facing moderate or severe food insecurity. Against this background, policy-makers need better, more disaggregated, reliable and timely information to guide policies aimed at promoting food security. This European-Union funded project aimed to enhance national capacities to support the adoption, production, interpretation, and use of food security and nutrition indicators in countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, the Near East, and Central Asia. -

ProjectStrengthening Food Security and Nutrition Policy and Institutional Framework and Food Safety and Control Capacity in the IGAD Sub-Region - TCP/SFE/3705 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Food insecurity and malnutrition remain a major public health and socioeconomic concern in Africa, particularly in Eastern Africa, which is home to more than half of the continent's undernourished population According to recent estimates, around 28 million people in the region are severely food insecure Fighting against hunger requires strong coordination and institutional capacity, as well as strong political commitment reflected in policy and investments However, the governments of the Horn of Africa suffer from poorly informed and coordinated food security policies and strategies, and from a lack of capacity to address the food and nutrition security poverty migration nexus and to maximize cross sectoral synergies International trade has historically had a favourable impact on food security by connecting areas with low agricultural potential and high population density to areas with agricultural comparative advantages, while also expanding access to a wider range of nutritious food commodities This is reflected in the Framework for Increasing Intra African Trade in Agricultural Goods and Services, which is based on the fifth commitment of the 2014 Malabo Declaration, that aims to triple intra African agricultural trade and services by 2025 Increased trade can contribute to developing long term jobs, income, and livelihoods, as well as strengthening agricultural production and food security on the continent.
