La FAO, por conducto de su División de Asociaciones y Colaboración con las Naciones Unidas, busca alianzas y una colaboración más estrecha con los parlamentarios, ya que considera que ese tipo de relaciones son fundamentales para su labor encaminada a cumplir los compromisos mutuos en materia de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, incluido el derecho a una alimentación adecuada. El compromiso político y las grandes alianzas con las principales partes interesadas resultan cruciales, y las asociaciones ocupan un lugar central en la misión de la FAO para ayudar a crear consenso en favor de un mundo sin hambre.

En 2017, la FAO puso en marcha su Programa mundial de desarrollo de la capacidad en apoyo de la aplicación del Acuerdo sobre medidas del Estado rector del puerto destinadas a prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada y los instrumentos internacionales, mecanismos regionales y herramientas complementarios para combatir la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada. El Programa tiene como objetivo contribuir a los esfuerzos nacionales, regionales y mundiales dirigidos a prevenir, desalentar y eliminar la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada. Para la correcta ejecución del Programa, la FAO desarrolló un marco [...]

Los agricultores desempeñan un papel crucial en la alimentación del mundo mediante la producción de los alimentos de los que todos dependemos. Dado que son los que desarrollan y custodian la diversidad de los cultivos en el campo, sus derechos en este sentido son fundamentales para mantener su papel esencial en la provisión de seguridad alimentaria y nutrición, especialmente en la actual era del cambio climático y otros desafíos importantes que enfrenta la humanidad. El Tratado Internacional sobre los Recursos Fitogenéticos para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (Tratado Internacional) es el primer acuerdo internacional jurídicamente vinculante que reconoce formalmente la contribución [...]

This Manual was developed to guide how to develop and implement a National Plan of Action for Small-Scale Fisheries (NPOA-SSF). These processes are unique because they ensure that the voices and concerns of small-scale fisheries are heard and allow them to actively participate in decision-making processes that shape their lives and livelihoods. In doing so, implementing an NPOA-SSF is an effective way to align legal frameworks with the provisions of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication. These Guidelines unite social development with responsible fisheries, addressing the marginalization and vulnerability [...]

La plaine de Berrechid – connue comme le « grenier » du Maroc – a connu une intensification désordonnée de l’irrigation au cours des deux dernières décennies. Malgré les gains économiques immédiats, ce processus a provoqué la surexploitation de la nappe aquifère de Berrechid, dont plus de 95% de l’eau pompée est destinée à l’agriculture. En 2011, l’Agence du Bassin Hydraulique du Bouregreg et de la Chaouia (ABH-BC) – une division gouvernementale supervisant l’utilisation de l’eau dans les régions du Bouregreg et de la Chaouia, qui comprend l’aquifère de Berrechid – a commencé à négocier un accord de gouvernance de l’eau [...]

Transforming agrifood systems depends crucially on how people can promote and benefit from innovation in governance. Fresh ways to look at policy dialogues and decision-making processes can help societies rapidly face interconnected challenges such as food insecurity and malnutrition, conflicts and the climate crisis. FAO promotes governance innovation to support countries in adopting the best-tailored strategies to pursue a sustainable, efficient, inclusive and resilient agrifood systems transformation. - In Indonesia, FAO has helped the government rethink its national strategic planning by using innovative analysis and modelling and supporting continuous consultation of actors at national and decentralized levels. - In Uganda, FAO has helped [...]

This policy brief provides a summary of water governance analysis undertaken in collaboration with national stakeholders. These include the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) and the Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (BMLWE), as part of the project “Implementing the 2030 Agenda for Water Efficiency/Productivity and Water Sustainability in NENA Countries” under the FAO Regional Initiative on Water Scarcity in the Near East and funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The analysis, which will be summarized in a report (Gharios and Tanios, forthcoming), followed the governance framework described in the FAO paper “Focus on governance for [...]

Tenure rights are crucial to the livelihoods of people as they define who can use which natural resources, for how long, and under which conditions. Tenure of natural resources is also essential for environmental sustainability and increased resilience and for enabling farmers to access other services. As the world population continues to grow and climate change reduces the availability of natural resources, increasing conflicts over land, and land deterioration are negatively affecting rural livelihoods on an unprecedented scale. In particular, women often have much weaker tenure rights than men, and they suffer discrimination by social customs, as well as by [...]

In 2014, the first internationally negotiated instrument dealing specifically with artisanal and small-scale fisheries known as the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines) was endorsed. The scope of the SSF Guidelines is to promote globally a human rights-based approach, covering every social and economic aspect of fisheries governance relevant to all activities undertaken by men and women, in marine and inland waters fisheries value chains. To support and promote the implementation of this important instrument, systematic monitoring is needed in accordance with the provisions in paragraph 13.4, calling [...]
