ProjectProgramme / project reportFortalecimiento institucional para una ruralidad próspera e incluyente y sistemas alimentarios territoriales sostenibles en Colombia - TCP/COL/3902 2025
Also available in:
No results found.En 2021, el 39,3 % de la población en Colombia vivía en pobreza monetaria, alcanzando el 44,6 % en zonas rurales dispersas y centros poblados. Antes de la pandemia, el 93 % de los hogares en 23 ciudades consumían tres comidas al día; sin embargo, esa cifra bajó al 74 %, reflejando una tendencia similar en varias ciudades del país. Las mujeres enfrentan desigualdades en oportunidades económicas, con una tasa de desempleo del 16,8 % frente al 10 % de los hombres, además de mayores limitaciones para acceder a recursos productivos, servicios, tecnologías y mercados en zonas rurales.Aunque Colombia cuenta con políticas para transformar estructuralmente las zonas rurales y promover la equidad entre ciudad y campo, estas enfrentan sesgos sectoriales, rigidez institucional y dificultades en la construcción de acuerdos con todos los actores. Esto limita la gobernanza y sostenibilidad en los territorios. Se requiere fortalecer la coordinación entre el sector público y privado, así como entre las diferentes instancias responsables, para facilitar la implementación de políticas adaptadas a las particularidades regionales. El objetivo del proyecto era implementar un modelo innovador que combine transferencias de efectivo condicionadas socialmente con resultados en la restauración del paisaje forestal. La estrategia abarca tres dimensiones: i) apoyo a hogares vulnerables y agrupaciones agrícolas; ii) gestión de gobernanza y cuencas hidrográficas a nivel regional y municipal, y iii) gestión del riesgo climático, promoviendo sinergias y un impacto sostenible en las comunidades, los ecosistemas y la resiliencia ante el cambio climático. -

No results found.La situación de conflicto social y ambiental y el momentode transición política que vive Colombia es de extremadelicadeza, en un momento de diálogo y negociación parala construcción de un proceso de paz.La vida rural y la agricultura familiar se ven amenazadaspor el conflicto armado, y debido a la escasa inversiónpública por parte del Estado que genera mayormarginación, se produce una migración de las familiashacia las ciudades, donde aumenta también la pobreza yel desempleo generando presión sobre los serviciosbásicos como sanidad o educación.El proyecto se llevó a cabo en este contexto, con una granmovilidad y cambiamientos institucionales, tanto deorganismos como de funcionarios, así como con lademanda de la sociedad civil de obtener un mayoracompañamiento para fortalecer su interlocución con elGobierno, tanto en el ámbito nacional como territorial.

2024Also available in:
No results found.Between 2 and 17 January 2024, following a request by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoA&F), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in close cooperation with the Food Security Technical Secretariat (FSTS) and the State Ministries of Agriculture, carried out its annual Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to estimate the 2023 crop production and assess the food supply situation throughout the 18 states of the country. The report's recommendations are to provide immediate response to the needs of the population most affected by acute food insecurity as well as to support the recovery of the agriculture sector, increasing food production and farmers’ incomes, and enhancing efficiency along the value chain to reduce production costs. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookFood policies and their implications on overweight and obesity trends in selected countries in the Near East and North Africa region
Regional Program Working Paper No. 30
2020Also available in:
No results found.Regional and global trends in body weight show that the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region countries, especially the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries, have the highest average body mass index and highest rates of overweight and obesity in the world. There exist several explanations that expound the high rates of overweight and obesity in most NENA countries, including the nutrition transition, urbanization, changes in lifestyle, and consequent reduction of physical activities. This study examines the implication of food policies, mainly trade and government food subsidies, on evolving nutritional transitions and associated body weight outcomes. We examine the evolution of trade (food) policies, food systems, and body weight outcomes across selected countries in the NENA region – Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq. In particular, we investigate the implications of important trade (food) policies in shaping diets and food systems as well as their implications on public health outcomes, mainly the rising levels of overweight and obesity in the NENA region. We provide a simple conceptual framework through which trade policies (tariff rates) and domestic government food policies (subsidies) may affect food systems and nutritional outcomes. An important and innovative feature of this study is that it compiles several macro- and micro-level datasets that allow both macro and micro-level analyses of the evolution of trade (food) policies and associated obesity trends. This approach helps to at least partly overcome the data scarcity that complicates rigorous policy research in the NENA region. Overweight and obesity rates have almost doubled between 1975 and 2016, with varying rates and trends across regions. For instance, whereas body weight in the NENA region was comparable with that found in high-income countries in the early years, after the 1990s regional overweight and obesity rates became much higher than those in high-income countries. Specifically, while most high-income countries are experiencing a relative slowing of increases in overweight rates, the trend for the NENA region continues to increase at higher rates. The evolution of overweight rates for the GCC countries are even more concerning. These trends are likely to contribute to the already high burden of non-communicable diseases in the NENA region. Contrary to the conventional view that overweight and obesity rates are urban problems, our findings show that rural body weight has been rising over the past few decades, sometimes at higher rates than in urban areas.
