DocumentProgrammingKenya: Food and Agriculture Organization Country Programming Framework for Kenya, 2014-2017 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Kenya sets out priority areas to guide FAO’s partnership with and support to the Government of Kenya (GoK) at both national and county level, bringing together innovative international good practices and global standards with national and regional expertise for the next four years from 2014 to 2017. The CPF was prepared following extensive consultation with the GoK and Development Partners through both consultative workshops in 2011 and continuous bilateral discussion through 2012. In order to fully adapt to the devolved system of governance and incorporate emerging priorities, a further consultative workshop was held in early 2014 which resulted in the addition of an outcome on research, innovation and advocacy as well as better definition of outputs and activities throughout the document. The workshop also enabled FAO to clearly define a strategy for engaging with the counties. The CPF puts an immediate emphasis on reducing poverty and hunger in line with Millennium Development Goal 1 (MDG) 11 and building a more sustainable and competitive agricultural system that will contribute to the GoK’s goal of building a food secure and prosperous Kenya through a commercially-oriented and competitive agricultural sector. The impact of the CPF will be a more competitive and productive agricultural sector and increased food security for Kenyans which will contribute to the achievement of the overarching goal of the CPF which is the erad ication of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in Kenya. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
