Also available in:
No results found.The Country Programming Framework (CPF) is a framework for agreed priorities in the co-operation between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and FAO. It is a planning and management tool for FAO to prioritize, guide and manage its assistance at the country level in a coherent, comprehensive and structured manner for a period of four years (2013-2016). It is anticipated that this framework shall remain relevant until the closure of 2016; however being a living document it can be updated whenever warra nted as a result of implementation and/or emergence of pressing issues. This document contains a set of priority areas and activities for FAO’s assistance in support of the attainment of UAE’s policy objectives related to agriculture (including livestock), fisheries, natural resources, food safety and food and nutrition security, including gender and capacity development. The CPF is jointly owned and led by the UAE through the Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) and FAO. It is therefore f ramed within and governed by the national medium-term development priorities articulated in UAE Development Strategies and Plans that set out the Government priority policies and investments for achieving economic growth and prosperity. -
DocumentOther documentThe establishment of a Fisheries and Agricultural Development Authority in the United Arab Emirates 1976
Also available in:
No results found.The Government of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries is considering the establishment of a Fisheries Development Corporation in the UAE. The purpose of the Corporation would be to act as an executing agency for governmental assistance to fishermen and for Government’s involvement in commercial activities in the public sector, and in particular in fish marketing, hopefully as a precursor to cooperative activities. The present report attempts to analyse th e existing framework of policy, laws and institutions to evaluate the need for a new agency in light of the functions of the existing ones, and to investigate the type of institution required and the allocation of functions. The report then describes the suggested structure and functions of the new body proposed and looks at suggested ways in which it could best implement its functions from the point of view of marketing and promoting cooperatives. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookThe Impact of Cash Transfers on the Economic Advancement, Decision-Making and Capacity of Women 2015
Also available in:
Cash transfers (CTs) are important poverty reduction schemes, which are present in more than fifty countries (World Bank, 2014a). Their main goal is economic growth rather than the economic empowerment of their beneficiaries – who are usually ultra-poor people; however, evidence of their development impacts is contributing to a shift in how policy-makers perceive these programmes. In many countries, the majority of CT beneficiaries are poor and vulnerable women. As a result, it is often claime d that CTs have an empowering effect on women based on the assumption that, as the main recipients of the transfers, women gain greater control over financial resources. Nevertheless, available evidence on empowerment outcomes is far from being conclusive, particularly as to whether CTs actually improve women’s bargaining power and decision-making in the household. -
BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
