ProjectFactsheetImproving Knowledge and Strengthening Scientific Monitoring of Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries - MTF/INT/943/MUL Baby 26 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) has the objective of promoting the development, conservation, rational management and best utilization of living marine resources, as well as the sustainable development of aquaculture, in the Mediterranean and Black Sea. The present Action, part of the wider programme entitled “Support to the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean”, consolidated and complemented the specific objectives foreseen by other grants entered into with the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE ) of the European Union, which had been executed or were being executed throughout the Action’s implementation. The overall objective was to implement select activities approved by the GFCM in the framework of its mid term strategy (2017 2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries. This was to be achieved through the following five outputs: ( i ) strengthening of scientific advice in support of fisheries management, (ii) support to sustainable small scale fisheries to improve livelihoods for coastal communities; iii) enhancement of modular monitoring, control and surveillance at the regional level to support the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; (iv) monitoring of unwanted interactions between fisheries and marine ecosystems and the environment and (v) enhanced capacity building and cooperation among contracting parties and cooperating non contracting parties, with regard to scientific and technical issues for fisheries management. -

BookletCorporate general interestAn overall assessment of challenges faced by seasonal agricultural workers from Syrians under temporary protection and host communities 2023
Also available in:
This document is based on the findings of a field study conducted jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organziation of the Uninted Nations (FAO) and the Ankara University Development Studies Application and Research Centre (AKÇAM) in 2020. The objective was to identify key challenges faced by seasonal agricultural workers from Syrian and host communities and to develop solutions that can contribute to building resilience against economic shocks and social instabilities, while ensuring that members of these groups fully enjoy fundamental rights including education, health, and decent working and living conditions. The findings are based on (804 administered) surveys, (43) focus group meetings and (114) stakeholder interviews conducted in 11 provinces (destination provinces: Adana, Ankara, Gaziantep, Hatay, Izmir, Kahramanmaras, Konya, Mersin; source provinces: Kilis, Mardin and Şanlıurfa).

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. -
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.
