Synopsis (short abstract) This report provides an overview of developments concerning food security and nutrition in Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Member States. The overview is based on the data available as of mid-2021. The report is organized in seven sections. Following the Introduction, Section 2 introduces the overall approach adopted in the overview and assessment of the food security and nutrition situation in ECO member states. Section 3 reviews the progress made towards the SDG 2 targets using the most recent data from FAO. The data used in the overview do not incorporate COVID-19-related data. Therefore, the potential impact on food security and nutrition of the spread of the virus is presented separately in Section 4, which discusses the potential global and regional effects of COVID-19. Section 5 elaborates on the key linkages between agriculture and nutrition and underlines a nutrition challenge that diversified and nutrition-sensitive agriculture has high potential to overcome. Section 6 discusses prospects for food security and nutrition in ECO member states until 2030. Finally, Section 7 concludes the report, pointing to the need to incorporate the key considerations into country-level food security and nutrition strategies.

    The report delves into the landscape of food security and nutrition across the ECO countries, encompassing Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan, utilizing data available until 2022. It offers insights into the state of agrifood trade within these nations from 2018 to 2021. Furthermore, it investigates the impact of two major factors: the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and the potential ramifications of the war in Ukraine on agrifood trade among these ECO countries. Structured in seven sections, the report commences with an Introduction, followed by Section 2 outlining the methodology for assessing food security and nutrition. Section 3 assesses the current status of food security across ECO countries.

    The study presents the key emerging food security and nutrition challenges in the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) region based on a situation analysis, and rationalizes the need for a comprehensive and focused regional food security programme. It also describes the natural linkages between agriculture and nutrition, and suggests that food security will only be sustainable if aspects related to nutrition are taken into account. Furthermore, the study develops the draft ECORPFS based on the four components of a food security and nutrition system. This draft will function as a starting point for the further elaboration of national and regional food security and nutrition priorities and actions which will need to be integrated into the draft programme.
