    As part of the SIDS Solutions Forum, 30-31 August 2021, FAO collected innovations and creative digital technologies that respond to local problems and challenges. The use of digital technologies in the agriculture and fisheries sectors of the Pacific is still in its infancy. As a result, farmers in SIDS, especially those in remote locations, have difficulties accessing actors along the value chain and in international markets. This flyer presents a platform for agriculture value chain stakeholders to connect with one another, and access information as well as simple digital tools for improved farm management.

    Malnutrition continues to be a serious issue in Papua New Guinea, imposing considerable social and economic costs on individuals, families, communities and the economy as a whole, and disproportionately affectingsuch disadvantaged groups as women and children. As a United Nations Member State, the country is committed to ending hunger, achieving foodsecurity, improving nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture by 2030. FAO assisted the Government to formulate a new National Food Security Policy (NFSP) Framework for 2017-2027 to strengthen food and nutrition security in the future. However, the capacity to formulate an action planto facilitate the implementation of the new policy was lacking. The Government therefore requested FAO to help to build national capacityin this important area. The project supported the development of acomprehensive budgeted action plan to enable the Government to roll outthe new NFSP Framework to the relevant sectorial agencies and local governments, as a follow-up to the policy formulation phase. It also builtcapacity and raised awareness at national and provincial levels, andsupported the preparation of provincial food security priority action agendasfor three pilot provinces.
