    Strengthening Capacities to Address Climate Change Impacts on Biosecurity and Food Security in Fiji, Samoa and Solomon Islands - TCP/SAP/3704 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The project achieved all expected outcomes to a satisfactory level despite delays caused by COVID-19 restrictions, leading to two no-cost extensions. In all, the project contributed to increased knowledge on addressing climate change and transboundary/invasive species pressures on food security in the Pacific Islands by producing one pre-feasibility study, one concept note and one PowerPoint presentation. The pre-feasibility/technical study report focused on the correlation between climate change, transboundary/invasive species and their impacts on food security in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. The study collected scientific evidence from regional and national organizations and highlighted concrete examples of transboundary movement of pests and diseases and their impacts at the national level. The report also analysed past and current climate-smart agriculture projects and included an environmental and social assessment, but not the economic and financial implications assessment that was originally stipulated. Additionally, this study also connected impacts associated with El Niño to outbreaks of pests and diseases in the Pacific Islands. The original concept note to be presented to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) was revised using information collected from the technical studies and technical inputs from both FAO and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). The SPC, as the Accredited Entity for the (GCF) project, has taken charge of the project and is responsible for submitting the updated concept note to the GCF Secretariat for review. FAO, as the Executing Entity, will continue working with SPC to formally submit the concept note to the GCF, address any comments and jointly develop the full project proposal for the GCF Board.

    Technical Support for National Food-Based Dietary Guidelines in Fiji, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu - TCP/SAP/3708 2022

    Pacific Island Countries ( face a serious burden of malnutrition, including acute and/or chronic undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, obesity, overweight, and diet related non communicable diseases ( Diet is one of the single most important contributors to malnutrition, which is influenced by many complex and multilayered causes, such as personal preferences, culture, religion, the environment, economics, availability of foods Food Based Dietary Guidelines ( provide context specific guidance on how to make nutritionally balanced food and beverage choices prepared in a safe and hygienic way available for the general population and for vulnerable subpopulations, including pregnant and lactating women and infants and young children The Pacific regional FBDGs, which were prepared by The Pacific Community ( in 2002 are used by PICs to provide guidance on healthy food consumption and meals Subsequently, the SPC published new Pacific guidelines for healthy living in 2018 to replace the 2002 Pacific FBDGs.

    Building Capacities to Develop Gender-Sensitive Climate Change Adaptation Proposals for Funding Consideration in Caribbean Small Island Developing States - GCP/SLC/019/CAN 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Owing to their small size, position in tropical cyclone belts and dependence on agriculture and tourism, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean are particularly vulnerable to climate change and its effects. The agrifood systems of these countries require adaptive measures to support resilience to climate change and sustainability to ensure food and nutrition security and to reduce the impacts of climate change on vulnerable groups, including women and Indigenous Peoples. This project was designed to support efforts to increase adaptive measures in targeted SIDS (Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname) by building national capacities to develop concept notes and full proposals for gender sensitive climate adaptation projects, so that these countries can access climate and environmental financing through the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF).
