Synopsis (short abstract) This is the draft WHO OIE FAO Tripartite draft Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework for the Global Action Plan (GAP) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). The GAP sets out responsibilities and expectations for national governments, for the Tripartite, as well as for other national and international partners in responding to the threat of AMR. To ensure action is being taken in response, and to evaluate whether those actions are achieving the intended results, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) i s required. The AMR M&E framework has been developed by FAO, OIE and WHO. The intention of the M&E framework is to ensure a coherent and streamlined approach that will provide information for management and decision-making on AMR in the coming years. It covers both monitoring of the process of GAP implementation and evaluating the results in terms of expected outcomes and impact on AMR; it also proposed indicators than can be used to measure outputs and outcomes of the activity undertaken at a national and global level.

    This flyer summarises the process and results of an FAO/WHO/OIE country self-assessment questionnaire on the status of development and implementation of National Action Plans on AMR in member countries. It provides information of where to find further information and is primarily aimed at informing the audiences of the governing bodies of hte three organizations, ie the World Health Assembly, OIE General Assembly and FAO conference of this work and the outcome of this first survey. As second survey will be initated later this year.

    The Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP) is the world’s blueprint for tackling the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which threatens many of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on health, food security, environmental wellbeing and socio-economic development. Adopted by the membership of WHO, FAO and OIE in 2015, the GAP was further endorsed in 2016 during the 71st session of the UN General Assembly. The framework for monitoring and evaluation of the GAP aims to provide a manageable system to assess the success of the GAP and inform operational and strategic decision making on AMR for the next five to ten years. This framework will enhance the availability and quality of data, consolidate data collection and reporting requirements – especially for human health – and increase accountability. Rooted in experience and expertise across diverse sectors, this initiative will also underpin the forthcoming global development and stewardship framework for AMR.

    The response to the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis has been spearheaded through the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (GAP-AMR), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 in close collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and formally endorsed by the three organizations' governing bodies and by the Political Declaration of the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly on AMR in 2016. In 2022, the three organizations officially became the Quadripartite, adding the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to the Alliance "to accelerate the coordination strategy for human, animal and ecosystem health." By adopting the GAP-AMR, countries agreed to develop National Action Plans (NAPs) aligned with the GAP-AMR to mainstream AMR interventions nationally. This country M&E guidance document was developed as a reference for countries to support the development and delivery of AMR NAPs. It assists in establishing an M&E plan for their AMR NAP, building on existing national reporting systems and recommended indicators from the GAP-AMR M&E framework.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In 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.

    Processing of fresh-cut tropical fruits and vegetables: A technical guide 2010
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    There has been a marked upward trend in production and consumption of fruits and vegetables in Asia and the Pacific in recent years. Along with rising consumer demand has come greater awareness of food safety issues and increased need for convenience and quality. Selection of high quality horticultural produce for processing and implementation of good practices during processing operations are required to assure both the quality of the produce and the safety of the final product. This technical guide reviews, from a theoretical and practical perspective, the critical issues that must be addressed for fresh-cut produce to meet consumer demand for convenience, quality and safety. A case study on fresh-cut processing in Thailand is included. The guide should be of practical value to small processors, trainers and extension workers who provide support to individuals engaged in production of fresh-cut tropical produce for sale.

    Emissions due to agriculture
    Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
    2021
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
