Also available in:
No results found.This is the final report of the Regional Workshop on Rehabilitation of Fisheries and Aquaculture in Coastal Communities of Tsunami Affected Countries in Asia held in Bangkok, Thailand from 28 February to 1 March 2005. It was organized by CONSRN – a consortium of regional fisheries/aquaculture bodies formed in the aftermath of the 26 December 2004 tsunami to restore the shattered livelihoods of communities in tsunami affected countries. The objectives of the workshop were to build an agreed strat egic framework and draft programme based on country inputs and advice from non-governmental organizations and donors. The meeting was attended by 53 participants from six of the tsunami affected countries (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand), CONSRN participants, donor agencies and non-governmental organizations. Major topics discussed were: introduction to the workshop and regional strategic framework; country priorities for rehabilitation; vision and guiding principles for rehabilitation activities; rehabilitation strategies; aligning donors/agencies/countries to strategies and recommendations. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRegional workshop. One year later the rehabilitation of fisheries and aquaculture in coastal communities of tsunami affected countries in Asia 2006
Also available in:
No results found.The massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami waves that originated off the west coast of northern Sumatra caused extensive loss of lives and damage to coastal communities in countries affected. Damage included loss of whole villages, homes, fishing and aquaculture infrastructure, fishing vessels and gear, aquaculture facilities and markets, as well as other livelihood assets. As an initial coordination step, the regional fishery bodies in the region banded together and formed a consortium to Re store Shattered Livelihoods in Tsunami-devastated Nations (CONSRN). A workshop was organized to discuss overall policy directions on which to base reconstruction and rehabilitation. One year later a second workshop was held on 30 to 31 March 2006 in Bangkok, Thailand to review progress in rehabilitation of fisheries and aquaculture in coastal communities of tsunami affected countries in Asia. The meeting was attended by 40 participants including representatives from India, Indonesia, Malaysia, M aldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Thailand as well as by representatives of CONSRN, donor agencies and NGOs. This document presents the report of the workshop which reviewed the issues that emerged from the tsunami rehabilitation process and recommended future directions for addressing outstanding needs and achievement of national strategic policies regarding tsunami rehabilitation. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRegional strategic framework. Rehabilitation of fisheries and aquaculture in tsunami affected countries in Asia 2005
Also available in:
The massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami waves that originated off the west coast of northern Sumatra on 26 December 2004 caused extensive damage to coastal communities. The majority of those affected had agriculture–fisheries based livelihoods or were employed in associated enterprises. As we move away from immediate emergency relief to reconstruction and rehabilitation in the mid- to long-term there is a much greater need for coordination of efforts. To fill this gap a consortium of key regional agencies involved in fisheries and aquaculture (CONSRN) organized a workshop from 28 February to 1 March 2005 to consult with impacted countries and to guide the development of a regional strategy and programme framework for rehabilitation based on regional perspectives and country dimensions. The regional strategic framework developed at the workshop is intended to support not just the work of the partners, but also to guide and inform other agencies involved in the broader tsunami reh abilitation and development work.

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.
