Product type Project

Synopsis (short abstract) The Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC) is a regional economic intergovernmental organization that aims to foster interaction and cooperation among its members, ensuring peace, stability and prosperity, and encouraging good neighbourly relations in the region. This project was initiated to address the pressing challenges in the BSEC region in terms of sustainable food systems, institutional capacities, poverty alleviation and natural resource management. The problem identified centred on the absence of a coordinated and comprehensive approach to address challenges faced in the food systems of BSEC countries. The primary objectives of the project were to establish the BSEC Cooperation Centre for Sustainable Food Systems (BSEC-CSFS) and to enhance sustainable food systems in BSEC member countries. These objectives were designed to address critical gaps identified in the food systems of the region, emphasizing sustainability, gender responsiveness and institutional networking.

    Making Food Systems more Sustainable to Ensure the Promotion of Healthy Diets - GCP/GLO/964/GER 2021

    Combating malnutrition in all its forms – undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, overweight and obesity – is among the most pressing challenges facing countries today. The global governance architecture of food security and nutrition involves a wide range of actors, agencies, platforms and initiatives. Increasingly, the Rome-based agencies of the United Nations, cooperating among themselves through the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), have become pivotal to global policy guidance, monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal 2 and efforts towards zero hunger. The project was designed to complement resources and contribute to voluntary support for the CFS policy convergence process, in turn leading to the finalization of the Voluntary Guidelines on Food Systems and Nutrition (VGFSyN). These Guidelines are expected to contribute to improving food systems and make them more sustainable to ensure the promotion of healthy diets. They will provide a global consensus document for governments and other stakeholders on the appropriate policies, investments and institutional arrangements needed to address the key causes of malnutrition in all its forms.
