DocumentEvaluation reportEvaluation of FAO Strategic Objective 5: Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises. Management response
okt/16

No results found.Management welcomes the Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to Strategic Objective 5 – Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the way FAO’s resilience agenda has successfully strengthened the development positioning of the Organization’s work in preparation for and response to crises. This agenda broadens the services FAO offers, moving more towards encompassing resilience programming, bridging between short-term emergency response and longer-term risk reduction and management. As highlighted by the Evaluation, FAO is an Organization which primarily supports longer-term agricultural development but remains present at times of disasters and crises to provide emergency assistance with a resilience perspective. The report captures well the essence of SO5, which encompasses development work, that takes years of policy and capacity development support (e.g. for early warning systems or disaster risk reduction and preparedness), as well as a response component, framed and contained within the longer-term development perspective. -

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.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideManual for the implementation of environmental, health, and safety standards for the control of locusts
dec/21
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Standard Operation Procedures (SOP) for the control of the Desert Locust define the procedures that should be followed in a Desert Locust control campaign to minimize the impact of the use of insecticides on human health and the environment. This Manual for the implementation of SOPs for EHS has been developed to support the person responsible for the implementation of EHS at the National Locust Control Unit (NLCU). The Manual should facilitate the programming of activities to be carried out, structure the documentation of the state of implementation, and allow relatively easy monitoring of the extent to which the EHS has been achieved by the managers of the NLCU or by third parties. The Manual presents a "model approach" for the implementation of the EHS. However, this approach is flexible and should not be applied too rigorously but adapted to the national situation and the specific organization of NLCU. The objectives of the Manual are to: clarify responsibilities for the implementation of each Standard Operation Procedure (SOP); plan the activities to be carried out; allow the internal monitoring of the implementation process; ensure complete documentation of the implementation process; facilitate the external audit; and allow an easy adaptation to the national situation
