Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Science and Innovation Strategy Action Plan (2022-25) provides a common framework for FAO action at the country, sub-regional, regional and global levels. The FAO Science and Innovation Strategy is a tool to support the delivery of the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–31 and hence the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Strategy’s Action Plan is a living document covering four years (2022–25), and it will be updated, as needed, to reflect new needs, opportunities and challenges. The Action Plan was developed through an inclusive and transparent consultative process, drawing on inputs from all relevant FAO streams and the Regional, Sub-regional and Country Offices, as well as guidance and feedback from Members. The Action Plan follows the structure of the Strategy with 3 pillars, 9 outcomes and 2 enablers. It links the Strategy’s outcomes and enablers to relevant SDG targets and Programme Priority Areas. Under each of the outcomes and enablers, the Action Plan introduces several outputs, which are achieved through key areas of work, reflecting FAO’s priorities for supporting Members to harness science and innovation. The Strategy’s guiding principles are inter-linked and guide all of the Organization’s science and innovation-related work in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    FAO Science and Innovation Strategy 2022
    Also available in:
    The Strategy aims to strengthen FAO’s work on science and innovation by providing Organizationwide guidance, coherence and alignment on science and innovation. Science and innovation serve as a foundation for the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–31 and have cross-sectoral relevance across the Organization’s programme of work. Innovation and technology are two of the four accelerators of the FAO Strategic Framework 2022–31 intended to speed up progress and maximize efforts in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time, science underpins all four accelerators (technology, innovation, data, and complements [governance, human capital, and institutions]). As such, science and innovation are integrated throughout the 20 Programme Priority Areas (PPAs), the accelerators, and cross-cutting themes. The vision of the Strategy is a world free from hunger and malnutrition, where the potential of science and innovation is fully leveraged to overcome complex social, economic and environmental challenges of agrifood systems in a globally equitable, inclusive and sustainable manner. The goal is for Members to harness science and innovation to realize context-specific and systemic solutions for MORE efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life, leaving no one behind, in support of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    Plan d’action 2022-2025 pour la mise en oeuvre de la Stratégie de la FAO en matière de science et d’innovation 2023
    Also available in:
    Le Plan d’action relatif à la Stratégie de la FAO en matière de science et d’innovation (2022-2025) sert de cadre commun pour l’action de la FAO aux niveaux national, sous-régional, régional et mondial. La Stratégie de la FAO en matière de science et d’innovation (la Stratégie) est un outil qui vise à faciliter l’exécution du Cadre stratégique 2022-2031 de la FAO et, par conséquent, celle du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030. Le Plan d’action relatif à la Stratégie est un document évolutif qui couvre une période de quatre ans (2022-2025) et sera actualisé si nécessaire en fonction des besoins, possibilités et défis qui se feront jour. Il a été mis au point dans le cadre d’un processus de consultation inclusif et transparent, sur la base des contributions de l’ensemble des axes, des bureaux régionaux et sous-régionaux et des bureaux de pays de la FAO concernés, ainsi que des orientations et des observations des membres. Le Plan d’action suit la structure de la Stratégie et comporte donc trois piliers d’action, neuf résultats escomptés et deux facteurs de réussite. Il associe les résultats escomptés et les facteurs de réussite de la Stratégie à des cibles des objectifs de développement durable et à des domaines prioritaires du Programme. Au titre de chacun des résultats escomptés et des facteurs de réussite, le Plan d’action indique plusieurs produits, qui doivent se concrétiser dans le cadre de domaines d’activité principaux, lesquels correspondent aux priorités concernant l’aide que la FAO doit apporter aux membres afin qu’ils puissent tirer parti de la science et de l’innovation. Les principes directeurs de la Stratégie sont liés entre eux et orientent tous les travaux de l’Organisation dans les domaines de la science et de l’innovation, dans le droit fil du Programme de développement durable à l’horizon 2030.

    Given that agriculture is an important driving economic force of all African economies, many national, subregional and regional cooperation efforts on sustainable agricultural development have been at the top of the agendas of African countries as they work towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, especially in relation to tackling the continent’s high rates of poverty and food insecurity and malnutrition. Acute and chronic malnutrition among children, in particular, represent considerable socioeconomic hardships and forgone opportunities for sustainable economic growth, shared prosperity and the right to food for all. Against this backdrop, the African Union (AU) Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), established by the AU Assembly of Heads of State and Government through the 2003 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security in Africa, was developed to improve food security and nutrition and increase incomes throughout Africa’s largely agriculture-based economies. The CAADP aims to reposition agriculture at the centre of Africa’s development agenda and has, since 2003, enabled countries to address key transformational issues embedded in, or closely linked to, agriculture. Many countries have improved agricultural development planning and policy design processes, with over 40 of them implementing National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (NAFSIPs). Likewise, Regional Economic Communities (RECs) are adding value to national initiatives through the formulation and implementation of Regional Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (RAFSIPs). The CAADP is recognized as the flagship strategy guiding agricultural development in Africa, tailored to and driven by each country. Even though new investment streams have been identified and average public expenditure for agriculture doubled since the adoption of the CAADP, not all countries follow this trend. Private investment for agricultural development has been constrained by insufficient enabling environments and intersectoral coordination of agricultural, trade and industrial development plans to incentivize investments. In addition, lending risks associated with the uncertainty and variability of agricultural outputs and incomes, insecure land tenure issues, gender inequality in access to credit and disincentives to lend to rural, unemployed youth have prevented the African agricultural development agenda from being more inclusive. Low investment in agricultural research and slow adoption of modern farming, mechanization and post-harvest technologies have impacted productivity, which has grown at half the rate of agriculturalsectors in other developing regions.
