ProjectFactsheetSupport in Mainstreaming Livestock in National Agricultural Investment Plans and Other Key Documents in SADC Countries - TCP/SFS/3806 2025
Also available in:
The project gathered current and accurate information on the livestock subsector in Southern Africa subregion, producing livestock profiles for each participating country. Concise policy briefs targeting decision-makers and planners were produced and submitted to the SADC for further dissemination. At the time of reporting, significant progress had been made in publishing them in the FAO digital repository for further dissemination. Through the reports drafted during the project, all SADC countries were made aware of the challenges the sector faces, the potential for food security improvement and the opportunities to increase livelihoods and income at national and regional levels. In addition, updated information about the subsector contributed to outlining evidence-based plans to be implemented at country and regional levels. Recommendations on how to improve the livestock sector were clearly articulated and described in the policy briefs, which also included a list of prioritized areas requiring larger public and private investments. While the project did not focus on partnership building specifically, the reports sought to garner enhanced international support and the recommendations are intended to be included in other national, regional and international initiatives. -

Le sous-secteur de l’élevage est l’une des composantes des économies agricoles dont la croissance est la plus forte, en réponse à l’essor que connaît la demande de ses produits sous l’effet de la rapidité de la croissance démographique, de l’urbanisation et de l’évolution des préférences des consommateurs. Le rôle de l’élevage, qui atténue les conséquences des situations d’urgence et contribue à la production agricole, en fait l’un des piliers de la sécurité alimentaire, de la nutrition et de la réduction de la pauvreté. En 2003, les chefs d’État et de gouvernement africains ont adopté la Déclaration de Maputo sur l’agriculture et la sécurité alimentaire en Afrique, acceptant d’affecter au moins 10 pour cent des ressources budgétaires nationales à la mise en œuvre de la politique agricole et de développement rural au cours des cinq années suivantes. Toutefois, en 2017, seuls deux pays (l’Angola et le Malawi) avaient dépassé le montant d’affectation budgétaire prévu. -

No results found.Agriculture is the backbone of most economies in Southern Africa, accounting for a significant share of their gross domestic product (GDP), ranging from 4 to 27 percent, and contributing to around 20 percent of the total export earnings for the Member States of the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The SADC is an intergovernmental organization with the aim of promoting regional cooperation and integration in Southern Africa to achieve sustainable economic development, peace, and security in the region. Its members include Angola, Botswana, the Comoros, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, the United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. A primary obstacle hindering economic growth, food security, and the reduction of poverty in the SADC region is the limited agricultural productivity, which can be partially attributed to the inadequate utilization of sometimes poor quality fertilizers in the face of significant soil erosion and nutrient leaching. -

Book (series)Technical studyLatin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023Also available in:
The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge. -

Towards improving affordability of healthy diets
2023Also available in:
Regional Overview present the regional food security and nutrition situation, including trends of undernourishment, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, together with other indicators that could help the understanding of the causes of hunger and malnutrition. This edition offers a regional overview of the socioeconomic state of the region; national and regional data and trends regarding the costs and affordability of healthy diets; the possible drivers behind the high cost of healthy diets and their unaffordability; and introduces policies and investments around the region that aim to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and improve the affordability of healthy diets. -

Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
