Book (series)Flagship2015 Regional Overview of Food Insecurity Latin America and the Caribbean: The Region has reached the international hunger targets 2015
Also available in:
In the last two decades, food and nutritional security have become an integral part of the political agenda of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the eradication of hunger and malnutrition is now a regional development objective. In 1990-92, Latin America and the Caribbean began the challenge of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with 14.7% of its population affected by hunger. By 2014-16 this prevalence has fallen to 5.5% and the region has achieved the MDG hunger goal. The region also m et the goal of the World Food Summit (WFS) established in 1996, having reduced the total number of people suffering hunger to 34.3 million. Poverty has also declined from 2002 onwards, from 44% to 28%, although extreme poverty has risen in the last two years. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookProgress towards ending hunger and malnutrition
A cross-country cluster analysis
2020Also available in:
No results found.Key findings of this report show that much progress has been made towards the goal of ending hunger. Yet, many countries continue to face moderate to high degrees of undernourishment, especially where economies made least progress in transitioning towards high-productivity, modern agriculture and non-farm economic development and where policy stances have been weak in promoting agricultural development, reducing gender inequalities, and improving infrastructure and basic social services. The decline in undernourishment has come with a rise in the prevalence in overweight and obesity. The spread of this form of malnutrition has come with dietary shifts towards the consumption of more animal-sourced and processed foods that have accompanied urbanization and income growth. By 2015, the vast majority of countries faced moderate to high prevalence of adult overweight, and this form of malnutrition is also on the rise in countries with still significant rates of child undernourishment. No country in the world is showing declines in the rate of adult overweight. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureУкрепление продовольственной безопасности и улучшение питания в странах Кавказа и Центральной Азии [LEAFLET] 2018Целью проекта является налаживание связей между социальной защитой, продовольственной безопасностью, питанием и сельским хозяйством для формирования комплексного подхода к содействию искоренению нищеты и отсутствия продовольственной безопасности на устойчивой основе. Тестирование этого подхода осуществляется с помощью шести экспериментальных проектов, которые предоставят доказательную базу о воздействии на результаты развития посредством комплексного подхода. Результаты будут переданы в информационно-просветительские и координационные советы по сельскому хозяйству, продовольственной безопасности, питанию и социальной защите в соответствующих странах, и способствовать ключевым политическим, законодательным и программным процессам на страновом, региональном и глобальном уровнях, тем самым, оказывая поддержку странам в их усилиях по достижению Целей устойчивого развития.
