The Regional Conference is the culmination of a process that involves the analysis of decisions taken in the previous conference, preparatory dialogues in the countries on the topics to be discussed and regular meetings between the Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC) and FAO. The list of participants includes the 33 Member States of the region, the Holy See, specialized agencies and agencies of the United Nations System, intergovernmental organizations, civil society organizations, private sector organizations, academia, observers and non-member States, and the FAO Secretariat. By decision adopted by the Member States of the region, the 37th session of the Regional Conference will be held in Quito, Ecuador, from March 28 to April 1, 2022. It will be a hybrid Conference, where the Ministers together with another member of their Delegation will participate in person, while the rest of their team will participate virtually in their country of origin. In line with the orientations of FAO Director-General Dr QU Dongyu, a dynamic version of the Conference is planned, including discussions with multiple actors, aimed at finding political and practical solutions in a participatory manner. The Regional Conference will be the space for the location of the FAO Strategic Framework 2022-31 and will give the possibility to the Member States to dialogue on its implementation. -

FAO and partners set example for regional collaboration
2019Also available in:
The FAO-led Integration of Amazon Protected Areas (IAPA) project marks the first time that an EC‑funded intervention in Regional Latin America and the Caribbean has utilized FAO’s Operational Partners Implementation Modality (OPIM). Through OPIM, FAO has been able to make the best use of expertise available on the ground, strengthen national and local ownership of interventions and increase the sustainability of results. Close collaboration on the ground – including numerous in person meetings – between FAO and its Operational Partners - the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) - proved to be a key factor in the success of the project. Early video conferences helped to ensure clarity of both FAO and EC requirements. Site visits from FAO to Operational Partner offices gave the Organization invaluable knowledge of the partners’ accounting systems and controls. All parties were actively contributing to the strategic and operational development of their respective organization’s programmes. Importantly, the lessons learned by Operational Partners throughout this process will continue to benefit their operations in future interactions with the EC and other donors. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023Also available in:
This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone.
