Synopsis (short abstract) Poverty is one of the biggest obstacles to human development. Although much has been achieved by countries in past decades in reducing the number of the poor worldwide, there is still much to be done. Poverty and its consequences – malnutrition, hunger and lack of opportunities – limit human development. Conscious of the interconnectedness of these issues, countries committed through the Sustainable Development Goals to end poverty and hunger by 2030. FAO’s mandate of eradicating hunger and poverty is at the heart of the Goals. We advocate for a strong focus on rural development and people’s livelihoods to end poverty and hunger and bring about sustainable development. This is why one of FAO’s strategic objectives is to reduce rural poverty.

    Social protection is the set of policies and programmes aimed at preventing or protecting all people against poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion throughout their lifecycles, particularly the most vulnerable groups. This poster will serve to demonstrate the efforts - and advancements made - in reducing rural poverty and increasing resilience through FAO strategic programmes, such as SP3 and SP5 in recent years. It aims to provide to donors, partners, and policy-makers with the information they need to gain awareness of the impacts of social protection initiatives, and to invest in social protection as a valid pathway out of poverty and hunger. The expected results of this product is an increase awareness of the benefits of social protection initiatives, an increase in visibility of countries' progress in areas pertaining to food insecurity and nutrition and act as springboard to more funding opportunities. This poster will hopefully be part of a series of posters put on display during the FAO Council following a side event in the Sheikh Zayed Centre on 4 June, 2018 called "Scaling-up Social Protection: Achieving Rural Development and Resilience for All FAO Council Side Event".
