ProjectFactsheetMalawi 2020 National Census of Agriculture and Livestock (NACA) Planning Phase Technical Support - TCP/MLW/3802 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The National Census of Agriculture and Livestock (NACA) is a national survey designed to be conducted every 10 years, the most recent of which was conducted in 2006-2007. The overall objective of the NACA is to provide data for evidence-based decision-making and improved capacity for planning agriculture and rural development. Specifically, the NACA provides data on food and agricultural production required for monitoring food security and estimating agricultural and development programmes, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (2017-2022). In this context and given the importance of this activity in the country, the Government of Malawi, through the National Statistical Office (NSO), requested technical support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to prepare and conduct the NACA in 2020. NACA Phase 1 consisted of the preparation of the census and sampling design, sample design of households, detailed work plan development, and the budget for the census. The TCP supported the activities in Phase 1. Phase 2 will include technical support during the data collection, field work, reporting and dissemination of the survey and census findings. The design and implementation of the project addressed the management of the necessary activities to carry out the 2020 NACA, responding to national priorities, specifically making data available to inform evidence-based decision-making. -
ProjectFactsheetTechnical Assistance to Support the National Agriculture Census 2019 - TCP/FIJ/3703 2022

No results found.Fiji is a small island state, which is vulnerable to the effect of climate change, natural disasters and consequently, economic shocks As Fiji’s large rural population is highly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, it is crucial that the government has detailed information on the composition and structure of the agriculture sector to assist with planning and responding to these events Prior, little and irregular information is collected or disseminated to agriculture sector stakeholders, limiting the capacity to develop evidence based policies and strategies Low resource availability for follow up agriculture surveys, in addition to staff changes, has meant a loss of knowledge of the census methodology and databases, and data for monitoring progress in the agriculture sector and against the SDGs is also lacking or not always reliable As such, the government has committed to an ambitious programme of agricultural development under the Fiji 2020 Agriculture Sector Policy Agenda. -

No results found.Around one quarter of the population of Pakistan lives below the national poverty line and 3.9 percent below the international poverty line of USD 1.90/day. Approximately one tenth of the population is undernourished, 15.9 percent of households are moderately or severely food insecure, and 2.4 percent of households are severely food insecure. Pakistan is also faced by a very high level of malnutrition among children and women of reproductive age. The agriculture sector accounts for 19.3 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, with contributions from livestock (60.6 percent), crops (35.2 percent), fisheries (2.1 percent) and forestry (2.1 percent). Besides its significance to the economy, the agriculture sector is pivotal for domestic food availability and self-sufficiency. However, the sector is endangered by such natural disasters as floods, droughts, earthquakes and landslides; a recent locust outbreak was another threat to agriculture production and food security in the country.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
