ProjectMainstreaming Sustainable Food and Agriculture Systems into Medium Term Policies of Mongolia for the Achievement of SDG 2 - TCP/MON/3807 2024

No results found.Over the past several years, Mongolia reformed its development planning. Celebrating the 95th anniversary of its first Constitution, Mongolia ratified a constitutional amendment and approved the Law on Development Policy, Planning and Management in May 2020. This led to the adoption of Vision-2050, a 30-year development policy focusing on food security and a sustainable, competitive agriculture sector. However, and despite contributing to 12 percent of Mongolia’s Gross Domestic Product and employing 24 percent of the labour force (2020 data), agriculture in the country remained unsustainable and unproductive due to outdated technology and inadequate physical and institutional infrastructure. High transportation and logistics costs, poor connectivity between farmers and consumers and market manipulation by traders exacerbated these issues, resulting in higher consumer prices and lower farmer profits. To address these challenges, the government aimed to improve the agriculture system and food supply chain through integrated policies under Vision-2050 and a new ten-year development programme launched in June 2022, which sought to ensure sustainable and inclusive food systems towards achieving the SDGs. -
ProjectSupport to the Development of Multi-Country Programming Framework for the Pacific Islands (2023–2027) - TCP/SAP/3810 2025

No results found.In August 2021, during the 7th Pacific Heads of Agriculture and Forestry Services (HOAFS) meeting, the development of a Pacific Regional Agriculture and Forestry Strategy was endorsed. The Pacific Community (SPC) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) were tasked with designing a process and foresight methodology for this strategy, to be presented at the 2022 Joint FAO and SPC Pacific Ministers of Agriculture and Forestry Meeting. Additionally, SPC and FAO were encouraged to support the region in adopting a strategic approach to transforming food systems and addressing climate change impacts on agriculture and forestry. With the FAO CPF for the Pacific Islands (2018–2022) and the UN Pacific Strategy (UNPS) expiring at the end of 2022, efforts were initiated to develop new frameworks for the next cycle. This work involved evaluations of the CPF and UNPS, alongside drafting the FAO Pre Common Country Analysis (Pre-CCA) and the UN Common Country Analysis for the Pacific Islands. Considering the complexities of the Pacific Subregion, with 14 small island nations and territories, coordination among development partners such as the SPC, United Nations and FAO is critical. At the project design stage, FAO aimed to actively participate in crafting the Pacific Regional Agriculture and Forestry Strategy and the Pacific UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027, alongside its next CPF by the end of 2022. -
