Synopsis (short abstract) The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) has established a Drought Initiative, under which the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has initiated a comprehensive program to address various aspects of drought and aid countries in their preparedness efforts. The program focuses on enhancing drought resilience in agriculture and improving food security. To achieve this goal, FAO developed various digital tools and capacity-building activities to promote drought preparedness. One of the key outcomes of this effort is the FAO Drought Finance tracker, a user-friendly and innovative platform hosted on the FAO Drought Portal that provides statistics and analyses on drought finance. It enables decision-makers to gain a global overview of finance trends, download and share financial flow statistics, and conduct advanced finance flow analyses.

    In order to effectively tackle the financial limitations of drought, it is crucial to implement significant changes in financial approaches. This can be achieved by exploring innovative financial tools and funding sources that can help mitigate the impacts of droughts and strengthen the flow of financial resources. Financial innovations are crucial for building resilience against droughts, from financing risk management to post-disaster relief. These innovations should focus on enhancing preparedness and delivering measurable outcomes, thereby utilizing finance for integrated drought management.To effectively tackle financial challenges related to drought, it is important to coordinate efforts among stakeholders across different levels, including the private sector. Facilitating direct engagement between beneficiaries, academia, and financial institutions can help ensure a steady flow of financial resources. Utilizing a combination of innovative financial instruments can effectively mitigate various impacts of drought, but it is important to tailor the approach to the specific context. Ultimately, the success of such innovation relies on the ability to transform technological and scientific advancements into practical financial products.

    Picturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025
    Also available in:
    This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
