MeetingContribution of Results in the Asia and Pacific Region to FAO Strategic Objectives in the 2016-17 Biennium
Web Annex 2
2018The FAO results framework for 2014-171 guided the planning and monitoring of the Organization’s work in the 2016-17 biennium. At the core of the framework are the indicators that measure progress at each level of the results chain: Outputs, Outcomes and Strategic Objectives. This provided the basis for assessing and reporting how FAO’s actions contribute to changes at national, regional and global level. -
MeetingPlanned Contribution of Results in the Asia and Pacific Region to FAO Strategic Objective Output Targets in the 2018-19 biennium
Web Annex 3
2018The FAO results framework for 2018-21 guides the planning and monitoring of the Organization’s work. At the core of the framework are the indicators that measure progress at each level of the results chain: Outputs, Outcomes and Strategic Objectives. This provides the basis for assessing and reporting how FAO’s actions contribute to changes at national, regional and global level. The accountability of FAO, Members and development partners at each level of results, along with the means of measuring progress, is set out in Web Annex 2. At the level of the Strategic Objectives, SDG targets and indicators that relate to each SO will be used exclusively for monitoring and reporting at the SO level. The SO indicators will measure the level of change at the end of the 2018-21 medium-term period. At the level of Outcomes, indicators have been simplified by replacing specific dimensions of measurement, or in some cases, entire indicators with SDG indicators. Outcome indicators will continue to measure the biennial level of change achieved and the extent to which countries have made progress in those areas where FAO more directly contributed through its work. Overall, FAO’s work contributes to 40 SDG targets measured through 53 unique SDG indicators. The Strategic Objective and Outcome indicators are available in document CL 158/3 Web Annex 1 (http://www.fao.org/3/a-mu963e.pdf). -
MeetingAddressing Food Safety Challenges of the Asia-Pacific Region 2018In the Asia and the Pacific region, food safety is important from the dual perspectives of improving public health and nutrition and enhancing trade in food commodities. Concerns of consumers on the fitness for consumption of food produced and traded across borders needs to be allayed through effective risk-based systems that assure safety and quality throughout the food chain. The paper discusses the key challenges being faced, some solutions, and potential partnerships (private sector, civil society, South-South triangular cooperation, development partners) that can be used to enhance food safety systems in the region. It describes FAO’s contribution to the strengthening of technical capacity to implement risk-based approaches in critical areas such as food inspection, monitoring, and surveillance; laboratory analysis; import control and strengthening the evidence base required for the framing of rules, regulations and procedures. It explains, with examples, how improved food-control measures and codes of practice can be implemented at every step of the chain, enabling smallholders to produce safer food and gain access to markets. It underscores the importance of implementing FAO’s action plan for tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through technical capacity development, evidence generation, governance and dissemination of good practices. The paper dwells on FAO's One Health Regional Initiative, currently being rolled out, as an expanded multidisciplinary opportunity to demonstrate benefits to agriculture, food systems and the environment in the region. It argues that the adoption of voluntary and international food standards, especially from Codex, can lead to multiple wins for the consumer, for the private sector and the government in the form of safer and more nutritious food, increased innovation and trade and better public health. Ministers are invited to advise FAO on areas of focus in the development of national capacities in core technical areas of food safety and cohesive actions to harmonize food safety standards in the Asia-Pacific region to safeguard public health and promote trade.
