Synopsis (short abstract) The 2023 SDG Summit will take place in September 2023 in New York, during the UN General Assembly High-level week. Marking the mid-point in the 2030 Agenda implementation, the Summit will serve as a pivotal event towards achieving the SDGs, as gathered Heads of State and Government are to carry out a comprehensive review of progress, respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises, and provide high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions for achieving the 2030 Agenda. FAO has developed these key messages to inform the discussions which will take place in the lead up to and during this Summit and the Political Declaration which will result from them. They represent FAO's strategic priorities and vision for SDG acceleration and implementation through agrifood systems transformation.

    2019 Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition - Key messages
    Containing the damage of economic slowdowns and downturns to food security in Africa
    2020
    Also available in:
    In the 2017 and 2018 editions of the Africa Regional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition, FAO reported that the prevalence of undernourishment was rising in the region. The latest data shows that the deterioration has slowed, but there remain 256 million hungry people in Africa today. The report further documents that although many African countries are making progress towards reducing malnutrition, progress is too slow to meet six key nutrition targets, which form part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) monitoring framework and the World Health Assembly global nutrition targets. Food insecurity has been rising in Africa in recent years and the continent is not on track to eliminate hunger by 2030. The 2017, 2018 and this year’s report identify and report in detail on conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns as the key drivers of the rise in food insecurity. In most cases, the economic slowdowns and downturns that contributed to rising undernourishment in 2014–2018 were the result of commodity price falls. Many effective policy tools are available, but their adoption will depend on the availability of fiscal space to effect the desired policy action. In the longer-term, countries must develop policies and invest to achieve a more diversified economy and achieve an inclusive structural transformation. However, sustained economic growth is not enough: reducing inequalities, including gender-based and spatial inequalities, is essential to strengthening household resilience, laying the path to inclusive growth and reducing food insecurity and tackling the multiple forms of malnutrition

    Freshwater resources are critical to sustaining and stabilizing food and nutrition security (FNS) in Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Freshwater underpins the four FNS pillars (availability, accessibility, utility and stability) that are needed to diversify food production and curb the triple burden of malnutrition: undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overnutrition.
