Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePro-Sahel – Innovation and technology in small-scale irrigation systems for small-scale producers in the Sahel
Project brief
2023Also available in:
No results found.Water is scarce and pivotal for the Sahel, not only for increasing the productivity for millions of small-scale farmers but also for countering loss of arable land resulting from erosion and warming temperatures. A major barrier to the use of water in the Sahel is the lack of infrastructure and technologies – 45 percent of the population do not have access to water, and only 2 percent of arable land is irrigated (OECD, 2022). Technologies that are context specific can help increase agricultural productivity and attract investments, thereby accelerating sustainable development. Investments in such technologies can improve financial returns from irrigated crop land. While irrigation technologies are a primary need in the Sahel, other technologies can also contribute to improved performance of agrifood systems. In 2021, under the leadership of the Chief Scientist Office, FAO piloted the Pro-Sahel project, which aims to scale up investments in irrigation technologies for small-scale farmers in the Niger and Burkina Faso. The Pro-Sahel project invested USD 500 000 to deliver two national roadmaps for investing in and scale up of small-scale irrigation technologies. The project was conducted in close partnership with Akademiya2063, an African institution specialized in economic analysis and policy advice for African development, together with national stakeholders from the agriculture and irrigation sectors in Burkina Faso and Niger, and FAO Country Offices, the FAO Regional Office for Africa, the Hand-in-Hand initiative, and expertise from the Investment Centre in Rome. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020
Transforming food systems for affordable healthy diets
2020Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions.The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition. -
Book (series)FlagshipL’État de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde 2020
Transformer les systèmes alimentaires pour une alimentation saine et abordable
2020Les mises à jour effectuées pour de nombreux pays ont permis cette année d’estimer la faim dans le monde avec une plus grande précision. En particulier, les nouvelles données disponibles ont permis de revoir toutes les estimations de la sous-alimentation faites pour la Chine depuis 2000, ce qui a entraîné une importante révision à la baisse du nombre de personnes sous-alimentées dans le monde. Néanmoins, cette revision confirme la tendance signalée dans les éditions précédentes, à savoir que le nombre de personnes touchées par la faim dans le monde est en lente augmentation depuis 2014. Le rapport montre également que le fardeau de la malnutrition sous toutes ses formes reste un défi. Des progrès ont été réalisés en ce qui concerne le retard de croissance des enfants, l’insuffisance pondérale à la naissance et l’allaitement exclusive au sein, mais à un rythme encore trop lent. Le surpoids chez les enfants ne s’améliore pas et l’obésité chez les adultes est en hausse dans toutes les régions.Le rapport complète l’évaluation de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition par des projections de ce à quoi le monde pourrait ressembler en 2030 si les tendances constatées ces dix dernières années se maintiennent. Ces projections montrent que le monde n’est pas en voie d’atteindre l’objectif «Faim zéro» d’ici à 2030 et, malgré certains progrès, la plupart des indicateurs ne se rapprochent pas non plus des cibles mondiales fixées en matière de nutrition. La situation des groupes les plus vulnérables en matière de sécurité alimentaire et de nutrition risque de se détériorer davantage en raison des conséquences sanitaires et socioéconomiques de la pandémie de covid-19. -
