ProjectFactsheetRenforcement des capacités des parlementaires en Afrique favorisant un environnement propice à la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, y compris le droit à une alimentation adéquate - TCP/RAF/3612 2020
Also available in:
Despite remarkable progress in some sub-regions and countries, the overall situation of food security and nutrition (FSN) in Africa continues to lag behind global trends. Approximately one out of four persons in Sub-Saharan Africa and one out of five on the continent were estimated to be undernourished in 2015. Although the overall prevalence of hunger in Sub-Saharan Africa fell by 30 percent between 1990-1992 and 2015 in absolute numbers, undernourishment increased over the same period and the progress made in tackling hunger did not translate into improved nutrition. The region is not on course to meet most World Health Assembly nutrition targets for the next decade. In 2014 the Malabo Declaration committed African leaders to reducing stunting to 10 percent in Africa by 2025, with the aim of eliminating hunger in Africa in the next decade. The Africa Regional Nutrition Strategy 2015-2025 outlines the specific role of the African Union Commission (AUC) in the elimination of hunger and malnutrition. Evidence has shown that the most effective FSN policies and frameworks are those anchored in legislation. Although the right to adequate food is explicitly expressed in seven national Constitutions in Africa, and implicitly in a further 18, there remains the need to address structural challenges and create an enabling environment for FSN. Given their legislative, budgetary and policy oversight roles, parliamentarians are critical partners in the fight to eradicate poverty and malnutrition. In May 2016, at the Fourth Ordinary Session of the Second Pan-African Parliament over 100 parliamentarians from across Africa -

No results found.Under its CFS RAI Umbrella Programme, FAO is strengthening the capacities of Sierra Leonean state and non-state actors to enhance the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. This includes the present baseline study, drafted by Welthungerhilfe with support from FAO; the delivery of blended learning programmes for policymakers; capacity development activities for civil society; and multi-stakeholder policy dialogue which is expected to result in concrete policy recommendations. These activities are carried out under the inter-regional project “Enhancing the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems” (GCP/INT/920/GER), which is funded by Germany. The project operates at global, regional, and country levels (Lao PDR, Liberia, and Sierra Leone). -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSoil erosion: the greatest challenge for sustainable soil management 2019
Also available in:
Despite almost a century of research and extension efforts, soil erosion by water, wind and tillage continues to be the greatest threat to soil health and soil ecosystem services in many regions of the world. Our understanding of the physical processes of erosion and the controls on those processes has been firmly established. Nevertheless, some elements remain controversial. It is often these controversial questions that hamper efforts to implement sound erosion control measures in many areas of the world. This book, released in the framework of the Global Symposium on Soil Erosion (15-17 May 2019) reviews the state-of-the-art information related to all topics related to soil erosion. -
