Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureA brief overview of FAO's Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) programme 2022
Also available in:
The Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) programme is a leading policy support initiative at FAO that works with countries in Africa to strategically prioritize, reform and implement policies on food and agriculture. By monitoring and analysing public budgets and trade and market policies, MAFAP guides governments to repurpose their agricultural support to accelerate the transformation of agrifood systems. It also collaborates with policymakers to identify priorities for policy and investment reforms in key commodity value chains and supports implementing policy changes so that agrifood systems can deliver affordable healthy diets to all and inclusive markets for farmers. -

No results found.Since the 1970s, FAO has helped governments measure the effects of their policies on agricultural producers and other value chain actors. FAO’s Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) starts in 2010. The programme assists the development of sustainable policy monitoring systems in developing countries. These systems aim to provide reliable information for evidence-based policy dialogue and decisionmaking at the national, regional and international levels. Such information is already being used by policy-makers to reform policies and address the challenges they face. FAO has successfully partnered with government institutions and research organizations in several African countries, to create policy monitoring systems and to carry out a consistent set of policy and public expenditure analyses across a wide range of agricultural value chains (MAFAP phase I). -

No results found.Agricultural development and food security require an enabling environment for agricultural producers, consumers, local agribusinesses and other value chain actors to operate effectively. The national policy framework of a country is a key component of that enabling environment. However, policymakers in developing countries often lack economically robust and credible evidence about the impact of their past and current policies, as well as of potential policies that they may wish to implement, on agricultural transformation and its degree of inclusivity. The aim of the second phase of the Monitoring and AnalysingFood and Agricultural Policies programme(MAFAP II) was to tackle the problem of weak capacity by establishing sustainable agricultural policy monitoring systems in the partner countries and by supporting an inclusive dialogue and reform process to boost an inclusive agricultural transformation.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
