Synopsis (short abstract) With an increase in food insecurity in several countries within the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), efforts towards ensuring food security, zero hunger and proper nutrition are needed. The ECO Regional Coordination Centre for Food Security (ECO-RCCFS) was established to serves as a programme-based subsidiary body of ECO dedicated to addressing food security issues. The project’s main objective was to strengthen the Centre’s capacity in providing systematic and useful support to member countries and to equip them with the necessary advice, guidance and information to improve their food security and nutrition policies and programmes. This will facilitate the Centre’s transformation from a programme-based organization to a self-sustainable institution of ECO It focused on enhancing the capacity of ECO-RCCFS in food security analysis, programmedevelopment and management, identifying priority interventions for ECO-RCCFS, developing the charter, strategic plan, organigram and work plan of ECO-RCCFS and increasing the recognition of ECO-RCCFS’ mandate, activities and operational framework among ECO member states.

The study presents the key emerging food security and nutrition challenges in the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) region based on a situation analysis, and rationalizes the need for a comprehensive and focused regional food security programme. It also describes the natural linkages between agriculture and nutrition, and suggests that food security will only be sustainable if aspects related to nutrition are taken into account. Furthermore, the study develops the draft ECORPFS based on the four components of a food security and nutrition system. This draft will function as a starting point for the further elaboration of national and regional food security and nutrition priorities and actions which will need to be integrated into the draft programme.
