Strengthening food insecurity monitoring in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger - GCP/GLO/540/ITA
2018Also available in:
More than 20 million people in the Sahel Region suffer from food insecurity. Without knowledge and data to understand the current situation, interventions are difficult to design and risk being ineffective. In recent years, the proliferation of food security indicators has created further challenges and, as a result, policymakers and development partners struggle to adequately target where and how to intervene. Therefore, this project aimed to improve food security monitoring by training staff within national institutions in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger to derive and analyse food security indicators using household food consumption survey data and increase the effectiveness of policies to reduce food insecurity. -

Par ailleurs, l’agriculture est encore l’épine dorsaledu développement économique de la région du Sahel. Toutefois,les liens entre protection sociale, agriculture, sécurité alimentaire etnutritionnelle et résilience ne sont pas toujours pris en compte dansl’élaboration et la mise en œuvre des politiques, des programmeset des projets de protection sociale.Le projet devait renforcer le plaidoyer et le dialogue au niveaunational et international, pour encourager les partenariats etla matérialisation d’engagements politiques visant à favoriserl’articulation entre les interventions de protection sociale et cellesdu secteur agricole, et mettre à la disposition des décideurs politiqueset des acteurs concernés des outils et des connaissances pratiques ence domaine. Il visait en particulier le Burkina Faso, le Niger, le Sénégalet le Tchad. -

No results found.Depuis janvier 2019, dans la région du Centre-Nord du Burkina Faso, la commune de Barsalogho est en proie à de violents conflits intercommunautaires provoqués par l’attaque d’hommes armés dans les villages de Yirgou et Gasseliki. L’insécurité et la violence armée ont ainsi provoqué des déplacements massifs de population qui ont ainsi perdu tout ou partie de leurs moyens de subsistance – récoltes, animaux, stocks alimentaires. L’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), conformément à son mandat et sur la base des informations de la mission conjointe du Gouvernement du Burkina Faso, du système des Nations Unies et des organisations non gouvernementales pour évaluer les besoins des personnes déplacées internes dans la région du Centre Nord et du Sahel, a ainsi obtenu un financement du Gouvernement de la République française. L'objectif est de contribuer au renforcement de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle ainsi que de la résilience des pasteurs et agropasteurs vulnérables dans la commune de Barsalogho à travers un soutien aux activités de production pastorale et agropastorale.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
