This document is divided into three parts. The first part summariz es relevant background information on the current status of cassava globally and in the context of the Caribbean region. Part two is a compilation of the information collected via a survey administered with the collaboration of key resource persons in most countries of the region. Data obtained was complemented with updated information collected and compiled with the support of the Statistics Department, FAO Rome; and with data provided by the cassava practicioners (research and extension agents ), from 12 countries, who attended an International Training event organized by CLAYUCA, with financial support from the Colombian Government. The third part includes some concrete examples of potential opportunities that could be implemented in the region, using a three-pillar approach that CLAYUCA has been proposing, that includes: a) improved genetic resources; b) eco-efficient crop and soil management technologies; and c) value-added processing and utilization technologies.

Results of twenty national surveys using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES)
2022Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the results of assessments based on the food insecurity experience scale (FIES), data collected by FAO in twenty least developed countries (LDCs), landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) between November 2021 and February 2022. For nine of the countries (including eight SIDS), it was the first time FIES data had been collected. The surveys described in the report were conducted to provide accurate and timely food insecurity assessments of the 20 countries for which food security data are scarce. The detailed results, presented at the subnational level, can support country-level decision-making and will also inform the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets, specifically SDG Target 2.1.
