Synopsis (short abstract) The Right to Food: Past commitment, current obligation, further action for the future – A Ten-Year Retrospective on the Right to Food Guidelines analyzes some of the main issues experienced while implementing the Right to Food Guidelines over the past decade and looks to possible avenues for making use of the Right to Food Guidelines in order to strive for the realization of the right to adequate food of all in the years to come. The Synthesis Report focuses on a number of main features of the Right to Food Guidelines to create the right conditions to unleash action, among which: political commitment; evidence-based decision-making; legal framework; policies and programmes; coherence during implementation; governance mechanism and coordination; and external assistance. In addition, it stresses some key areas for a right to food implementation strategy, which include: nutrition; social protection; access to resources; and education and awareness-raising. The Synthesis Report is based on seven Thematic Studies that document and highlight progresses made over the last decade in implementing the Right to Food Guidelines. These Thematic Studies cover the main elements contained in the 19 Guidelines: policy design; institutional framework; legal developments; natural resources governance; social protection; nutrition, education and awareness raising; and international dimensions.

    Also available in:
    The Right to Food Guidelines provide practical guidance on ways to implement the right to adequate food in a wide range of policy and programmes areas through a human rights-based approach. Since the adoption of the Right to Food Guidelines, FAO and its partners have produced a wealth of tools, strengthened capacity, and facilitated multi-stakeholder dialogues worldwide. But the goal of realizing the right to food of everyone is not accomplished yet- over 820 million people are currently suffering from chronic hunger. This fifteen-Year Retrospective on the Right to Food Guidelines helps us look back and understand what has worked and why, where the bottlenecks lie, and how governments and their partners can be most effective in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.

    Also available in:
    Le droit à l’alimentation: Engagement passé, obligation actuelle, action supplémentaire dans le futur – Rétrospective des dix ans de mise en œuvre des Directives sur le droit à l’alimentation analyse certains des principaux problèmes rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre des Directives sur le droit à l'alimentation durant la dernière décennie ainsi que les éventuelles voies à suivre pour utiliser les Directives sur le droit à l'alimentation pour favoriser la réalisation du droit à une alimentation ad équate pour tous dans les années à venir. Le Rapport de synthèse examine de plus près plusieurs caractéristiques des Directives sur le droit à l'alimentation susceptibles de créer le climat adéquat pour promouvoir l'action notamment: l'engagement politique; la prise de décision sur la base de preuves; le cadre juridique; les politiques et les programmes; la cohérence durant la mise en œuvre; le mécanisme de gouvernance et la coordination; et l'aide extérieure. Il met également en exergue certains domaines clés pour une stratégie de mise en œuvre du droit à l'alimentation, en particulier: la nutrition; la protection sociale; l'accès aux ressources; et l'éducation et la sensibilisation. Le rapport de synthèse est basé sur sept études thématiques qui recensent et mettent en avant les progrès réalisés au cours des dix dernières années dans la mise en œuvre des Directives sur le droit à l’alimentation. Ces études thématiques abordent les principaux éléments contenus dans les 19 d irectives, à savoir: la conception de politiques; le cadre institutionnel; l'évolution du droit; la gouvernance des ressources naturelles; la protection sociale; la nutrition, l'éducation et la sensibilisation; et les dimensions internationales.
