ProjectFactsheetSupport to Enhance Food Security and Nutrition and Encourage Healthy Eating Habits of Rural Communities in Papua New Guinea Through Piloting School Meal Programme - TCP/PNG/3805 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Papua New Guinea faces significant challenges with child malnutrition, including high rates of stunting, wasting, and obesity, linked to widespread food insecurity. In March 2021, the Comprehensive Health and Epidemiological Surveillance System reported a 13.8 percent wasting rate in children under five, much higher than the global average of 5.5 percent. Stunting and overweight rates are also alarmingly high at 46.5 percent and 29 percent, respectively, the highest in the Pacific region. Malnutrition, a pressing issue beyond the health sector's scope, hinders children's growth and brain development, leading to long-term negative effects on cognitive ability, academic performance, productivity, and future earnings. Poor diets are the root cause of all types of malnutrition, with its incidence varying by region and household income. The 2016-2026 National Nutrition Policy of Papua New Guinea identifies various causes of malnutrition, and stresses the need for a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy to address the issue, proposing a multi-sectoral approach with seven key objectives to improve nutrition for all Papua New Guineans.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileRinderpest and its eradication 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This book tells the story of rinderpest and its eradication. The focus is on the international coordination that came together after the Second World War in the confident belief that, with vaccines available, the eradication of rinderpest was a practical possibility. In both Africa and South Asia, beginning in the 1960s, there was an initial dramatic success through the coordinated vaccination of cattle across the continents. Unfortunately, follow-up measures could not prevent the return of epidemic rinderpest, albeit to a lesser extent. Chastened by failure, the international community refocused with renewed energy to achieve eradication. The vaccination programmes broadened to reflect a multidisciplinary approach to disease eradication. FAO and the OIE, together with international aid agencies, coordinated policy with the nation states and guided implementation of the era¬dication programmes until success was achieved.
