Regional Workshop on SDG Indicator 12.3.1a
Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic), 15/09/2019 - 19/09/2019
The workshop's goal was to present and explain to the selected countries the FAO's proposed methodology for indicator 12.3.1. It primarily examined the Food Loss Index's rationale and interpretation, as well as how it is constructed and which tools are required for its compilation, monitoring, and reporting processes.
Participants included representatives from the region's various NSOs tasked with assisting their governments in measuring losses and waste under the SDG indicator. Participants had expertise in postharvest losses, value chains, and/or agriculture surveys, or they were focal points for SDG 12.3, and they also had an actual or potential training role in their respective regions. Antigua, Argentina, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, St Lucia, St Vincent, and Suriname were among the 20 countries that took part.
