Synopsis (short abstract) The WFP Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean and the FAO Subregional Office for Mesoamerica, both located in Panama, organized the "Workshop on Exchange of Experiences in Community Resilience for Food and Nutrition Security" in September 2016 in Colombia. The aim was to exchange knowledge, experiences and tools regarding the development, validation and systematization of good practices in the construction of resilience in order to benefit the implementation of them in the different countries. The meeting served as a platform to identify future collaboration points between participating countries and organizations. The meeting was attended by experts on resilience issues from national governments and partners from Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru and the Dominican Republic, as well as from FAO, WFP and other NGOs working in the theme of resilience. The meeting took place in La Guajira, Colombia, a region where FAO and WFP have joint programs. Following this meeting, FAO and PMA decided to publish a publication to systematize good practices in resilience promoted in 3 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, showing the role, responsibility and added value of each agency.

The compendium of 15 good practices of gender transformative approaches (GTAs) includes the individual templates of the 15 good practices, provides a synthesis of the main features of the 15 GTAs presenting the core characteristics of 15 GTAs and describing the implementation arrangements, implementation cycle, the potential results of GTAs and their key success factors and challenges. It also includes ideas as to how GTAs could be taken to scale. The purpose of the Compendium is fourfold: (i) to take stock and draw lessons from experiences from existing practices of GTAs; (ii) to be a resource for agencies already working with GTAs to identify opportunities for strengthening their GTA work or to link up with complementary interventions; (iii) to provide guidance on how to apply GTAs in any organization or institution working for enhanced food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture; and (iv) to raise awareness of and advocate for GTAs by showcasing examples of good practices or successful approaches that contribute to positive gender-related and non-gender-related changes towards food security, improved nutrition and sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Food security and nutrition information systems to enhance resilience of rural households in Yemen
Strengthening food security and acute malnutrition analysis for improved decision making

After more than five years of protracted conflict, Yemen continues to face an unprecedented humanitarian, social and economic crisis. Conflict, displacement and economic decline are placing immense pressure on essential basic services and the institutions that provide them. Humanitarian needs have sharply increased across all sectors since the escalation of the conflict in 2015, which has exacerbated pre-existing vulnerabilities, degraded community resilience and accelerated the collapse of public institutions. Due to the need for reliable and timely food security and nutrition information to inform decision-making at the national and governorate levels, FAO and the Yemeni Government, with support from the European Union (EU), implemented a comprehensive information system approach with two initial phases between 2013 and 2020. This promising practice brief focuses on the third phase of this programme called “Strengthening food security and nutrition information and early warning system” (2019-2021). It is a two-year EUR 5.9 million programme aimed at scaling up the geographic coverage of the food security and nutrition information systems (FSNIS) in Yemen. The programme addresses the main challenges associated with food security and nutrition information collection, analysis, and management systems in the country by supporting the setting up of a sustainable Food Security Technical Secretariat (FSTS) and food security and nutrition Governorate Focal Units (GFUs). The third phase focuses on expanding the program coverage from 12 governorates to all 22 governorates of Yemen.
