ProjectProgramme / project reportReport of the sixth IDAF (Programme for Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa) Liaison Officers Meeting. Banjul, The Gambia, 1-5 February 1993 1993
Also available in:
The Sixth Meeting of IDAF Liaison Officers which took place at the International Trypanotolerance Centre (ITC) Banjul, at the kind invitation of the Government of the Gambia from 1 - 2 February 1993, and the Workshop on Fisherfolk Organisations which followed that meeting at the same venue from 3 - 5 February 1993. are in keeping with the Programme's endeavour to continuously seek appropriate strategies to improve its guidance and assistance to fisherfolk communities; through appropriate dialogu e and consultations among actors in the artisanal fisheries sector. In addition to the impressive participation (18 of 20 Liaison Officers), Banjul offered the technicians who were present an opportunity to make a critical, objective and exhaustive analysis of the actions undertaken or planned in the different countries covered by IDAF.The importance of the Banjul meeting is evidenced by the fact that the participants are aware of the fragility of results obtained, which results they promis ed to preserve and reinforce. But Banjul will be remembered in that it is an example of the Team Spirit which must prevail between different actors or participants in the Programme for the welfare of fisherfolks. Liaison Officers are conscious of the need for them to fully play their role of close collaborators of the Programme, animators of group action and actors in the permanent exchange of view points between the different interest groups in the Programme. In keeping with the participator y approach which the Programme promotes, participants designated three representatives (Liaison Officers) to the Working Group charged with elaborating the project document for a possible IDAF phase III. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the twelfth IDAF (Programme for Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries) Liaison Officers Meeting and Workshop on '15 Years of Integrated Development of Artisanal Fisheries in West Africa', Dakar, Senegal, 28 September - 3 October 1998 1998
Also available in:
Development strategy during the 196O and 1970s was based on the philosophy that Developing countries lacked improved technology and capital for speeding up their development industrialization was promoted in order to capitalize on the abundant fish resources. However. the anticipated expansion of the economy did not happen and the development approach shifted towards an integrated rural strategy where emphasis is put on the community as a whole to upgrade incomes and the quality of lif e through technical assistance and the active participation of fisherfolk and the community.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide sur la situation d’un organisme nuisible
Comprendre les principales exigences pour la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire d’un organisme nuisible
2024Ce guide décrit les étapes que les organisations nationales de protection des végétaux (ONPV) doivent suivre pour déterminer le statut d’un organisme nuisible dans une zone, en commençant par identifier l’organisme nuisible et la zone considérée. Il fournit des conseils sur la collecte et l’évaluation des informations, sur l’évaluation des sources d’incertitude et sur la manière d’utiliser les signalements d’organismes nuisibles et d’autres informations pertinentes pour déterminer si un organisme nuisible est présent ou absent dans la zone et ensuite pour sélectionner la catégorie relative à la situation phytosanitaire d’un organisme nuisible appropriée, comme décrit dans la NIMP 8 (Détermination de la situation d’un organisme nuisible). Cela inclut des conseils pour déterminer si l’on s’attend à ce qu’un organisme nuisible s’établisse dans une zone, et s’il est largement disséminé ou faisant l’objet d’une lutte officielle. Le guide décrit les responsabilités des ONPV lors de la détermination de la situation des organismes nuisibles sur leur territoire, les exigences de la législation nationale pour soutenir les actions relatives au statut des organismes nuisibles et comment la détermination de la situation des organismes nuisibles s’inscrit dans le cadre phytosanitaire international. Il décrit également comment les résultats de la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire peuvent être utilisés pour soutenir d’autres activités clés, telles que la préparation de listes d’organismes nuisibles réglementés, l’établissement de rapports sur les organismes nuisibles et l’obtention ou le maintien de l’accès au marché. Enfin, le guide fournit un certain nombre d’études de cas du monde entier qui mettent en évidence différents aspects du processus de détermination de la situation phytosanitaire et la façon dont les ONPV traitent des questions particulières. En permettant une meilleure compréhension du processus et des facteurs à prendre en compte lors de la détermination de la situation phytosanitaire, le guide vise à améliorer la cohérence des processus utilisés par les ONPV pour déterminer la situation phytosanitaire. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food and Agriculture 2019
Moving forward on food loss and waste reduction
2019The need to reduce food loss and waste is firmly embedded in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Food loss and waste reduction is considered important for improving food security and nutrition, promoting environmental sustainability and lowering production costs. However, efforts to reduce food loss and waste will only be effective if informed by a solid understanding of the problem. This report provides new estimates of the percentage of the world’s food lost from production up to the retail level. The report also finds a vast diversity in existing estimates of losses, even for the same commodities and for the same stages in the supply chain. Clearly identifying and understanding critical loss points in specific supply chains – where considerable potential exists for reducing food losses – is crucial to deciding on appropriate measures. The report provides some guiding principles for interventions based on the objectives being pursued through food loss and waste reductions, be they in improved economic efficiency, food security and nutrition, or environmental sustainability. -
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.
