ProjectFactsheetContrôle durable de la rage humaine transmise par les chiens en Afrique Centrale - TCP/SFC/3704 2023
Also available in:
La rage est une maladie virale, inoculable, qui tue chaque année environ 60 000 personnes et des centaines de milliers d’animaux Elle est transmise dans 99 pour cent des cas par une morsure de chien Bien que la situation exacte ne soit pas connue en Afrique centrale du fait d’un sous rapportage persistant, la maladie a été retenue comme une préoccupation principale des pays et partenaires techniques Au moment de la formulation du présent projet, les pays de la sous région ne disposaient pas encore de plans d’élimination de la rage humaine transmise par les chiens la surveillance et le contrôle, lorsqu’ils existaient, n’étaient pas réalisés selon des approches répondant aux standards internationaux Or la faible collaboration entre les secteurs de la santé animale et de la santé humaine, les faibles capacités de surveillance, de diagnostic et de communication ainsi que l’observation insuffisante des bonnes pratiques en termes de responsabilité des propriétaires d’animaux domestiques favorisent la persistance, voire la propagation de la maladie, compromettant la perspective de son éradication à l’horizon 2030 Le projet devait contribuer à fédérer l’ensemble des actions en cours dans la sous région pour atteindre l’objectif «Zéro rage à l’horizon 2030 », en renforçant les capacités de la sous région et des pays d’Afrique centrale en matière de zoonoses, conformément à l’approche «Une seule santé». -

El África Central se distingue por su gran diversidad agroecológica y sus abundantes recursos naturales, cuya explotación sensata podría transformar la agricultura de la región. Se trata de una región de contrastes, que abarca zonas ecológicas saharianas al norte del Chad, zonas sahelianas en el extremo septentrional del Camerún y en una parte del Chad, zonas forestales que cubren más de la mitad de la región, zonas montañosas y una vasta franja costera que se extiende desde el litoral camerunés hasta las costas de Angola. Con una superficie total de unos 6 667 047 km² y una población estimada en cerca de 173 millones de habitantes en 2019, la región del África Central cuenta con 346,2 millones de hectáreas de bosques, 135,5 millones de hectáreas de pastos y 26,9 millones de hectáreas de tierras cultivables. No obstante, de los 14,2 millones de hectáreas irrigables, tan solo 601 000 hectáreas (esto es, el 4,2 % de la superficie cultivada) tienen regadío. La región goza asimismo de una importante reserva de recursos naturales en forma de aguas subterráneas renovables, cuyo volumen alcanza cerca de 1 715 km³, es decir, el 44 % de los recursos internos del continente africano. A pesar del gran potencial de diversificación, la economía de los Estados miembros de la CEEAC sigue dependiendo principalmente de la explotación de sus recursos naturales, en particular, de los hidrocarburos y las minas. La producción agrícola interna en África Central satisface apenas una escasa proporción de las necesidades alimentarias regionales. La pobreza afecta a cerca del 50 % de los habitantes de la región y, en algunos países, las tasas superan el 70 %. Asimismo, persiste el problema de la malnutrición. -
NewsletterNewsletterFall Armyworm Control in Action Newsletter, June 2021 - Issue #4 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRussian Federation: Meat sector review
Country highlights prepared under the FAO/EBRD Cooperation
2014Also available in:
World food demand has seen massive changes, including a shift from staple foods to animal proteins and vegetable oils. In the short to medium term, this trend in global food demand will continue. There will be an increased demand for vegetable oils, meat, sugar, dairy products and livestock feed made from coarse grains and oilseed meals. There are numerous mid-term forecasts for the Russian Federation’s meat sector. Most of them agree on the following trends: (i) the consumption of poultry and p ork meat will increase; (ii) the consumption of beef will decrease or stabilize; and (iii) the Russian Federation will remain a net importer of meat on the world market. According to OECD and FAO projections, meat imports from the Russian Federation will decrease from 3 to 1.3 million tonnes, owing to an anticipated growth in domestic chicken meat and pork production. The country’s share in global meat imports is anticipated to decrease from 12 percent in 2006–2010, to 4 percent in 2021. While t he Russian Federation will continue to play an important role in the international meat market, it will fall from its position as the largest meat importing country in 2006–2010 to the fourth largest global meat importer by 2021, behind Japan, sub-Saharan African countries, and Saudi Arabia. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

No results found.What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
