    RuralInvest Module 2 - Preparing and using project profiles
    A participatory approach to identifying and preparing small scale rural investments
    2007
    Also available in:
    In recent years, locally designed and managed investment projects have assumed increasing importance as effective tools for sustainable rural development. Supporting local communities to conceive and implement their own projects – whether for income generating activities or for social investments – not only ensures greater ownership and commitment to those projects, but also strengthens the capacity of communities to contribute to and manage their own development. However, the incr easing adoption of this approach by national governments, international financing agencies and rural banks has also highlighted the critical importance of providing adequate support and guidance to national technicians working with communities and other groups in identifying investment needs, defining potential projects, and developing them for external financing. RuralInvest answers this need by offering a series of modules, developed over a number of years and tested extensivel y in the field, which provide such support through a range of materials and training courses, and include technical manuals, custom developed software and instructors’ guides.

    El estado de la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición en el mundo 2023
    Urbanización, transformación de los sistemas agroalimentarios y dietas saludables a lo largo del continuo rural-urbano
    2023
    Also available in:
    En esta publicación se presenta información actualizada acerca de los progresos mundiales hacia las metas relativas a la erradicación del hambre (meta 2.1 de los ODS) y la malnutrición en todas sus formas (meta 2.2 de los ODS). En el presente informe se muestra que el hambre a nivel mundial se mantuvo relativamente sin variaciones entre 2021 y 2022, pero sigue estando muy por encima de los niveles anteriores a la pandemia de la COVID-19 y también está aumentando en muchos lugares donde las personas todavía luchan por recuperar las pérdidas de ingresos sufridas a raíz de la pandemia o bien han resultado afectadas por el aumento de los precios de los alimentos, los insumos agrícolas y la energía, y los conflictos y los fenómenos climáticos extremos. En este informe también se ofrecen estimaciones actualizadas sobre los miles de millones de personas que no se pueden permitir alimentos nutritivos, inocuos y suficientes durante todo el año. En conjunto, se muestra que estamos muy lejos de cumplir todas las metas de nutrición. Si bien se ponen de manifiesto progresos en relación con importantes indicadores de la nutrición infantil, el aumento del sobrepeso y la obesidad en los niños y niñas menores de cinco años de edad en muchos países presagia crecientes cargas de enfermedades no transmisibles.La urbanización está aumentando en muchos países y en este informe se muestra que está cambiando los sistemas agroalimentarios de formas que ya no podemos entender si consideramos las zonas rurales y las zonas urbanas separadamente. La pauta cambiante de las aglomeraciones de población en el continuo rural-urbano y su interfaz como lugar de intercambio e interacciones socioeconómicas está remodelando los sistemas agroalimentarios, y a su vez, está siendo remodelada por estos, lo que tiene implicaciones sobre la disponibilidad y asequibilidad de las dietas saludables y, por ende, sobre la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición. Nuevos datos demuestran que, en algunos países, la compra de alimentos ya no es elevada solo en los hogares urbanos, sino también en los rurales. El consumo de alimentos altamente procesados también está aumentando en las zonas periurbanas y rurales de algunos países. Estos cambios están afectando a la seguridad alimentaria y a la nutrición de las personas de maneras que difieren en función del lugar donde viven en el continuo rural-urbano.

    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This paper is an outcome of a desk review and resource investigation on the nutrition status of fisher-folk in India’s east coast states. It was conducted over a three-month period from February 1985. It documents data from existing surveys and studies, and describes nutrition programmes and institutions in these states. The desk review was sponsored by the Norway-funded project “Nutrition and fisher-folk in the Bay of Bengal region” (GCP/INT/417/NOR), which is being executed in cooperation wi th the smallscale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme. The nutrition project is in pursuance of the resolution adopted by the 1994 World Fisheries Conference, Rome, to “promote the role of fisheries in alleviating malnutrition”. The project attempts to improve the nutritional status of fisherfolk of the region and thereby play a part in improving their living conditions. The desk review/resource investigation described in this paper is a preparatory activity of the project. It may also help serve as a source of information to planners, researchers and officials concerned with nutrition activities, particularly for fisher-folk. As a follow-up to the desk review/resource investigation, nutrition surveys of fisherfolk have been conducted in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Reports of pilot surveys in two fishing villages of each state are under preparation. A workshop to focus attention on the nutrition problems of fisherfolk and to identify specific activities was held in March 1996.
