FAO's work in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

FAO has implemented an array of tools to support policy analyses and assess the impact of COVID-19 on on food and agriculture, value chains, food prices, food security across the globe.

  • Urgent policy measures
  • Policy briefs
  • Policy responses
  • Big data | Daily updates
  • Food policy warnings
  • Crop calendars

Strengthening food production and distribution systems is key to fighting hunger and entails helping tackle diseases wherever they emerge in humans, animals, plants or the environment. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global health crisis, and FAO is playing a role in assessing and responding to its potential impacts on people’s life and livelihoods, global food trade, markets, food supply chains and livestock. FAO believes this will allow countries to anticipate and mitigate possible disruptions the pandemic may trigger for people’s food security and livelihoods, avoiding panic-driven reactions that can aggravate disruptions and deteriorate the food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable.FAO is working closely with WHO, WFP, IFAD and OIE and other partners, harnessing broad networks to drive further research, support ongoing investigations and share critical knowledge.

Webinar - Intra-household inequalities: Empirical evidence and implications for rural poverty reduction policies

 

Tuesday, 24 March - 14:00 - 15:30 CET

Even though there is a large consensus that it is an individual condition, poverty is usually measured using household aggregated data. At the same time, social policies in developing countries, including food security and nutrition interventions, often try to reach deprived individuals by targeting poor households. However, differently from what standard poverty measures assume, there is often substantial inequality in the distribution of resources within households. The consequence is that poverty reduction policies might be fail to identify the households where most deprived individuals live and/orreach those deprived individuals 

within their households.

In this webinar, Caitlin Brown will address the issue of intra-household inequality in the context of poverty measurement. She will discuss the challenges of identifying intra-household inequality as well as the consequences that accounting for it might have on current poverty numbers. Her presentation will provide an overview of the existing empirical evidence on intra-household inequality in nutritional outcomes, caloric intake, resource shares as well as discrimination against certain household members.  Finally, it will analyse the implications for targeting rural poverty reduction policies.

Agenda:

  • Introduction by Erdgin Mane, Policy Officer, FAO
  • Presentation by Caitlin Brown, Assistant Professor, Central European University
  • Open Discussion

Suivi de la mise en œuvre des Directives volontaires visant à assurer la durabilité de la pêche artisanale

En 2014, le Comité des pêches de la FAO a approuvé Les Directives volontaires visant à assurer la durabilité de la pêche artisanale dans le contexte de la sécurité alimentaire et de l'éradication de la pauvreté (Directives SSF). La FAO travaille à l'élaboration d'un guide permettant de mesurer les progrès réalisés au niveau national dans la mise en œuvre des Directives SSF. La présente consultation électronique vise à solliciter des avis, des recommandations, des suggestions et des bonnes pratiques pour assurer le suivi de la mise en œuvre des Directives SSF.

Survey on the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises

The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) has launched a survey to collect experiences and good practices in the use and application of the CFS Framework for Action for Food Security and Nutrition in Protracted Crises (CFS-FFA).



This survey complements an earlier call for inputs issued in March 2019 and will contribute to monitoring progress on the use and application of the CFS-FFA, both from a qualitative and quantitative perspective.

The survey is available in EnglishFrench and Spanish and you are welcome to provide your answers in any of the six UN languages. Deadline is the 30 April 2020.

Améliorer les rapports sur les forêts primaires

L’Évaluation des ressources forestières mondiales (FRA) de la FAO vise à fournir des informations fondamentales pour faciliter la compréhension de l'étendue des ressources forestières, leur état, leur gestion et leurs usages. Cette consultation en ligne contribue à l'amélioration des orientations et des méthodes de notification d'informations mondiales comparables sur les zones de forêts primaires et leur évolution.

Webinar: Evaluation criteria: what's new and what changes for agriculture and food security?

Evaluation criteria: what's new and what changes for agriculture and food security?



12 February 2020

15:00 - 16:00 Central Europe Time



Speaker: Megan G. Kennedy-Chouane, Senior Policy Analyst, OECD

Facilitator: Rachel Sauvinet Bedouin, Senior Evaluation Officer, FAO

The evaluation criteria first set out by the OECD Development Assistance Committee in 1991 have recently been revised. In this webinar, you will learn about the new definitions, the significance of the changes and the new coherence criteria. Examples from evaluations of projects and programmes in agriculture, food security and nutrition will be discussed. There will be time to have your questions answered and share ideas on how the revised criteria can improve the practice of evaluation.

This webinar is organised by the EvalForward Community of Practice www.evalforward.org

First comprehensive portal to track international capacity development support for forest monitoring

The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) has launched a portal - the first such comprehensive platform - to track international capacity development support to developing countries in forest monitoring for climate action.

The portal - the GFOI Inventory of Activities - is a one-stop shop with easy-to-access information on more than 400 forest monitoring activities in 70 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean. Users can search for information by country or region, by type of forest monitoring activities, and by donors.

"Collecting and disseminating better information on forests is vital for countries and the international community's efforts to take targeted and effective action on climate change," said Hiroto Mitsugi, FAO Assistant Director-General for Forestry.

The portal will help governments and donors identify gaps, share resources, avoid overlaps and explore opportunities for new partnerships to better address the challenges countries face as they develop their National Forest Monitoring Systems.

The portal displays information from the world's leading forest monitoring development partners, including national governments, development practitioners, space agencies and forestry experts.

It is an example of successful collaboration and open information sharing, which is essential in an era of global climate change as big geospatial data and other diverse and usable information becomes increasingly available.
