BookletHigh-profileNote d’orientation – Communication sur les risques et interactivité avec la population
Pandémie de maladie à coronavirus 2019 (covid-19)
2021L’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) a élaboré la présente note d’orientation en vue de soutenir le quatrième pilier des activités menées au niveau national dans le cadre du volet du Plan de réponse humanitaire global covid-19 qui concerne la FAO: «veiller à ce que les acteurs de la filière alimentaire ne soient pas exposés au risque de transmission de la covid-19» grâce à la communication sur les risques et à l’interactivité avec la population, en collaboration avec l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) et les autorités nationales. Conformément aux engagements pris par la FAO en matière de responsabilité à l’égard des populations touchées, cette note vise à aider les bureaux nationaux à concevoir et à mettre en œuvre des initiatives inclusives de communication sur les risques et d’interactivité avec la population. L’accès à des informations fiables peut permettre à chacun de prendre des décisions pour se protéger, en connaissance de cause. En outre, la compréhension des facteurs qui déterminent les comportements et l’intégration de ces connaissances dans la communication peuvent accroître la probabilité que des informations aboutissent à l’action souhaitée. L’objectif est d’encourager, de mobiliser et d’inclure les parties prenantes dans le cadre des efforts visant à prévenir les risques et à y faire face en adaptant la communication aux réalités locales. Dans le cas de la covid-19, la communication sur les risques et l’interactivité avec la population permettent aux autorités et aux populations de travailler ensemble en vue de promouvoir des comportements sains et de réduire le risque de propagation des maladies infectieuses. -
Book (stand-alone)GuidelineCommunity engagement in anticipatory action
Compendium of experiences and good practices from focus countries
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as one of the leading operational organizations implementing anticipatory action and providing technical advice and normative guidance on corresponding approaches in the agriculture and food security sector, has embarked on a project funded by the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of the United States Agency for International Development with the aim to capture emerging and good practices to improve community engagement in anticipatory action. In this framework, FAO has developed a Compendium of experiences and good practices from focus countries, namely Bangladesh, Guatemala, the Niger and Zimbabwe. The purpose of this Compendium is to share knowledge that will help move towards more context‑specific, conflict-sensitive, inclusive and accountable anticipatory action programming. It is intended for stakeholders involved in anticipatory action, from the local to national and global levels.

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. -
