In line with the agrifood systems transformation pathways developed by Members, FAO’s work in the Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) will place strong emphasis on building sustainable and resilient agrifood systems through the implementation of the current Multi-Country Programming Framework (CPF) for the Pacific Islands 2018-2022, which covers 14 countries in the Pacific. This regional priority will be the central pillar of FAO in the Pacific in developing the new CPF 2023-2027 and the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027, which are under preparation and will integrate agrifood systems transformation as the fundamental development pathway.

Programme Priority Areas (PPAs): 

• Blue transformation 
• One Health
• Small-scale producers’ equitable access to resources 
• Digital agriculture
• Healthy diets for all
• Safe food for everyone
• Climate change mitigating and adapted agrifood systems
• Biodiversity and ecosystem services for food and agriculture
• Resilient agrifood systems
