The Country Programming Framework (CPF) is a framework for agreed priorities in the co-operation between the Sultanate of Oman and FAO. It is a planning tool for FAO to prioritize, guide and manage its assistance at the country level in a comprehensive and structured manner. It is anticipated that this framework shall remain relevant until the closure of 2015, however being a living document it can be updated whenever warranted as a result of implementation and/or emergence of pressing issues. T his document contains a set of priority areas and activities for FAO’s assistance in support of the attainment of Oman’s agriculture, fisheries, natural resources and rural development policy related objectives including food and nutrition security, gender and capacity development. The CPF is jointly owned and led by the Sultanate of Oman through the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MOAF) and FAO. It is therefore framed within and governed by the national medium-term development priorities articulated in Oman Development Strategies and Plans that set out the priority policies and investments of Government for achieving growth, employment and prosperity. In addition, prioritization also benefited from review of the FAO Strategic Framework 2010-2019, World Food Summit Plan of Action 1996, and both the FAO Regional Priorities for the Near East and the Sub-regional Priorities for the GCC and Yemen. The priorities identified for FAO’s intervention and displayed in this document have been jointly formulated by MOAF and FAO through intensive consultations involving almost all Central General Directorates of MOAF, the Batina and Dakhiliya General Directorates of Agriculture and Fisheries, farmers, livestock owners, farmers associations and private traders. Cross-sector participation has also been secured with the involvement of the Supreme Planning Council, Ministries for Environment, Health and Trade, Scientific Research Council, Oman Development Bank and the Agriculture and Fishery Development Fund.

The Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) was established at COP23 to address six topics in the agricultural sector's role in climate change. KJWA has contributed to sharing scientific and technical knowledge, but limitations remain in translating outcomes into concrete climate actions. The new four-year joint work on the implementation of climate action on agriculture and food security, which prioritizes ending hunger and considers national circumstances, includes the creation of an online portal for sharing information. The four-year agenda is shaped and broadened through the submission of views by parties, observers, and civil society and will be considered by SBSTA and SBI in June 2023.

Technical study
Latin America and the Caribbean - Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition 2023
Statistics and trends
2023

Also available in:

Spanish

The 2023 edition of the Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean presents an update of the data and trends in food security and nutrition in recent years. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis and the conflict in Ukraine, as well as the economic slowdown, rising food inflation and income inequality have had an impact on regional figures. The most recent data shows that, between 2021 and 2022, progress was made in reducing hunger and food insecurity in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the progress achieved is far from the targets established to meet SDG 2 of ending hunger. In addition, one in five people in the region cannot access a healthy diet and malnutrition in all its forms, including child stunting, micronutrient deficiencies and obesity continue to be a major challenge.
