Synopsis (short abstract) In the Latin America region, little information is available on the importance of pollinators and pollinator conservation strategies, resulting in poor policies and regulation. This led to a need to develop a regional proposal for the protection and monitoring of their populations, to be submitted to the International Climate Initiative of the German Ministry of the Environment. Its adoption and implementation will help to preserve pollinators and increase resilience to the consequences of climate change in the region.

    Consolidating School Feeding Programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean - GCP/RLA/223/BRA 2024
    Also available in:
    The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 interrupted the years of international cooperation that sought to achieve food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. Due to the emergency, economic changes occurred in the involvement of institutions in developing School Feeding Programmes (SFPs), food delivery and creating safe classrooms.The project built upon the Government of Brazil’s technical cooperation in the region, supporting the implementation of programmes and public policies to ensure adequate and healthy food for students and their families. It also promoted local economic development through direct purchases from family farmers.This South-South Cooperation in capacity development and gender equality led to a school feeding network in the region. This network involves 26 countries engaging in activities and dialogue on the subject and has contributed to reducing poverty and malnutrition.

    Every continent has reports of pollinator declines in at least one region/ country. The losses of pollination services have been well documented in many specifi c instances; what remains lacking are global assessments of changes in the distribution and levels of pollination services. As the recognized drivers of pollinator losses (changing land-use patterns, pesticide use, diseases, invasive species and climate change) are themselves changing in intensity, the global community is jus tifi ed in taking note and determining the actions that will conserve pollinators. The insidious nature of the loss of ecosystem services- by slow erosion rather than cataclysmic events- demands careful monitoring. Pollinators provide essential services to humans. In several instances, impressive documentation of the market and non-market values derived from pollination services has been made. Despite this, the economic valuation of pollination services has a number of challenges to overcome, many stemming from the gaps in understanding of the actual contribution of pollination to crop production. Developing sound management plans for pollinators will hinge on good taxonomic support. Linked to the taxonomic information about species is other information on biological characteristics (including fl oral relationships and ecological linkages) that are important for adaptive management. New approaches to managing pollinator information should help to overcome the taxonomic impediment, although the focus at present has been on bees, and not on other key pollinator groups.

    Consolidación de programas de alimentación escolar en la América Latina y el Caribe - GCP/RLA/223/BRA 2024
    Also available in:
    Los años de cooperación internacional para el logro de la seguridad alimentaria en América Latina y el Caribe fueron truncados por la pandemia de Covid-19 en 2020. Dada la urgencia, se produjeron cambios económicos en la implicación de las instituciones en el desarrollo de programas de alimentación escolar (PAE), entrega de alimentos y creación de aulas seguras.El proyecto ha seguido la cooperación técnica del gobierno brasileño en la región, apoyando la implementación de programas y políticas públicas para garantizar una alimentación adecuada y saludable para los estudiantes y sus familias, así como impulsando el desarrollo económico local a través de compras directas a los agricultores familiares.Como resultado de esta Cooperación Sur-Sur en desarrollo de capacidades e igualdad de género, ha surgido una red de alimentación escolar en la región que agrega 26 países que participan de las actividades y diálogos sobre el tema, la cual ha contribuido a reducir la pobreza y la malnutrición.
