Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGlobal Action Programme on Food Security and Nutrition in Small Island Developing States 2017
Also available in:
Although significant diversity exists across Small Island Developing States (SIDS), they share common characteristics that make them uniquely vulnerable to food insecurity, and have contributed to the majority of SIDS facing a “triple burden” of malnutrition in which persistent levels of undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, coexist with an increasing incidence of overweight and obesity. Responding to the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway’s call to address these chal lenges, this Global Action Programme on Food Security and Nutrition in Small Island Developing States (GAP) aims to accelerate action on food security and nutrition to support the sustainable development of SIDS. Developed under the leadership of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the United Nations Office of the High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Sma ll Island Developing States, the GAP is intended as a tangible contribution to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Aligned with existing strategies, the GAP provides a framework for SIDS - both as individual nations and as a group – to identify and implement priority actions at global, regional, national and community levels in a coherent, coordinated and collaborative way to achieve their food security and nutrition objectives. Through the GAP, these actions have the potential to signi ficantly improve nutrition and well-being, reduce poverty and inequalities, and foster economic growth in SIDS for present and future generations.
