ProjectFactsheetRéduction des pertes après récolte pour une meilleure sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle dans les états membres de l’IGAD - TCP/SFE/3702 2022
Also available in:
L’insécurité alimentaire et la malnutrition restent un problème de santé publique et socio économique majeur en Afrique, notamment en Afrique de l’Est, qui abrite plus de la moitié de la population sous-alimentée du continent. La région est fortement dépendante des importations de denrées alimentaires, en particulier de céréales. Selon des estimations récentes (FAO. 2021. L'état de la sécurité alimentaire et de la nutrition dans le monde), environ 70 millions de personnes dans la région sont en situation d’insécurité alimentaire, et au moins 20 millions de sa population dépendent de l’aide alimentaire. L’absence d’autosuffisance alimentaire a incité les décideurs nationaux et régionaux de la région de l’Afrique de l’Est à rechercher les causes de la faible production et à promouvoir des interventions visant à augmenter la production alimentaire nationale et à réduire les pertes alimentaires le long de la chaîne de valeur agricole. Les pertes après récolte sont un élément essentiel, mais souvent négligé, qui met en péril la sécurité alimentaire et affecte les revenus des producteurs, puisqu’il s’agit d’une réduction mesurable des denrées alimentaires causée par les insectes, les micro-organismes, les rongeurs et les oiseaux, qui peut affecter la quantité ou la qualité des cultures agricoles produites. Selon la FAO, en 2019, jusqu’à un tiers des aliments produits dans le monde ont été perdus ou gaspillés entre le stade de la production et celui de la consommation. -
ProjectFactsheetÉlaboration d’une politique et d’une stratégie forestière régionale de l’IGAD - TCP/SFE/3605 2020
Also available in:
The IGAD is a regional body that coordinates development efforts across its Member States, which include Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. The IGAD area covers an estimated 230 million people and is characterized by high rates of population growth and poverty, with a substantial proportion of people living below the poverty line (USD 1 per day). In IGAD Member States, agriculture is crucial to food security and nutrition, economic growth and social stability. More specifically, for over 80 percent of the population, agricultural production and animal husbandry are important sources of food and livelihood opportunities. Overall, they account for between 25 and 30 percent of national economies within the IGAD area. Pastoralist and agro-pastoralist communities are particularly at risk from the effects of recurring droughts in the region. During periods of drought, livestock are highly susceptible to water shortages and pasture scarcity. This can lead to the suffering and death not only of livestock but also of people whose livelihoods depend on them. Further complicating matters, markets often collapse as a result of the sell-off of weaker and thinner animals. In addition, drought affects the seasonal migration patterns of herds, which are required to search for adequate water resources and pastures for grazing. The increased competition for limited natural resources remains a point of conflict both between communities and across borders. The effective management of natural resources therefore requires international cooperation through adequate policies and strategies. While efforts have been made to address concerns regarding the management of some natural resources, policies are not harmonized across the IGAD area and there is often disagreement about the best management approaches to adopt. Additionally, many challenges are faced in the implementation of these policies, including the lack of adequate funding and/or political impetus. -
