Land Resources Planning Toolbox

The LRP Toolbox is a freely accessible online source for a range of stakeholders, directly or indirectly involved in land use planning. The Toolbox contains a comprehensive number of existing tools and approaches that are used to implement land resources planning. The overall goal of the Toolbox is to make potential users aware of the existence of these tools, facilitate access to their information, and assist with the selection of those tools that meet the requirements of different stakeholders, operating at different levels, in different regions, and in different sectors. See the users’ guide for more information.

The Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition - Advancing knowledge. Supporting policy-making. Impacting lives.

This new publication presents the work of the FSN Forum, offering an overview of how Forum activities and its vast network of participants around the world help FAO to tackle the root causes of poverty and hunger and support countries, organizations and communities in their efforts to improve lives. 

Dialogue on responsible investments in land: perspectives from Tanzania and globally

Landesa and the Land Portal will co-facilitate a dialogue on the principles and practices of land-based investments, with a focus on the Tanzanian context. This is intended as part of the broader conversation on responsible investment in land principles, guidelines and practices that has proliferated since the 2009 food crisis and subsequent ‘land grabs’ that swept the global south. This discussion is intended to bring to the fore a grounded perspective on a conversation and debate that often remains in the conceptual or abstract. The Tanzanian context is particularly relevant because of the government’s interest to increase agricultural investment and revise the current National Land Policy with the process underway, which, among other topics, has implications for decision-making processes around land-based investments.

The conversation has two primary objectives. The first is to increase awareness about investment practices in Tanzania and empower the voices from within Tanzania to discuss the realities of trying to improve responsible investment practices in the country. The second is to improve the understanding of global experts and practitioners who are designing and/or advocating for more responsible investment practices in the region and globally.

Please visit the following webpage for more information: https://landportal.info/debates/2017/responsible-investments-land-persp….

The dialogue will be available on the Land Portal from 5 until 16 June 2017.

 

Join the CFS-UNSCN event: Investments for Healthy Food Systems

The Committee on World Food Security (CFS) and the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (UNSCN) are hosting the event Investments for Healthy Food Systems on 9 May 2017 from 09:30 – 17:00 CET, at FAO HQ, Rome. This event is part of a series of events to “develop common understanding of issues and lay the basis for informed CFS policy convergence work” on nutrition and food systems, called for by the strategy “CFS engagement in advancing nutrition”. In line with this strategy, this event aims to increase common understanding about how policies and investment opportunities can improve nutrition through healthier food systems. The UNSCN Discussion Paper Investments for Healthy Food Systems will serve as the foundation document for the discussion.



The UNSCN Secretariat invites you to actively participate in the event, either in person or through the webcast (www.fao.org/webcast) and live Q&A session on Twitter (#CFS4Nutrition, @UN_CFS). Interpretation services will be provided in all UN official languages.



 

Webinar: Fostering Learning and Innovation in Nutrition

The SUN Civil Society Network invites you to participate in the Learning Route follow up webinar:

Fostering Learning and Innovation in Nutrition

Date: 31st January 2017

Time: 10:15 - 12:00 (GMT)

Language: English (translation in Frengh and Spanish will be available for the Q&A sessions)

At the end of October the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Civil Society Network, in collaboration with SUN Alliance Rwanda and PROCASUR Corporation, launched the first international Learning Route exchange programme in Rwanda. This six day peer-to-peer learning exchange brought together alliances from 9 African countries to learn from innovations being used by stakeholders in Rwanda including civil society to scale up nutrition. The Learning Route focused on key areas of intervention including multi stakeholder coordination, communication for behavioural change, social mobilisation, value chains and decentralisation. As result of the LR exchange, each Alliance submitted an “Innovation Plan”.

Join the webinar to find out more about the learning and innovations developed by the Alliances.

线上研讨会和讨论会

FSN Forum strategy planning workshop: Linking practice and innovation to policy through online consultations

A two-day, face-to-face workshop, involving key FSN Forum members and FAO colleagues active in knowledge sharing was held in Rome (Italy) on 12-13 December 2013. The purpose was to allow for a constructive exchange of ideas aimed at gathering inputs for the continuous development of the Forum in general and for the upcoming medium term strategy in particular.

“名称的含义” —— 有关帮助人们改善膳食各种方法的国际网络研讨

这一为期两小时的网络研讨的目的是减少围绕我们所从事工作的概念名称的误解。本网络研讨的组成部分包括对帮助人们改善膳食的不同方法的简要介绍:行为改变、社会营销、(食物和)营养教育以及健康促进。每个介绍都将对一种方法进行定义,对其基本流程加以描述,对其与其他方法的不同加以说明并列举其主要要素和原则。听众将先填写一个简短调查问卷,然后在网络研讨期间进行评论、提问、讨论和投票。他们还可以表示是否希望进一步开展讨论,对有关概念进行扩展、对其价值进行辩论,并以统筹的方式加以推进。 本网络研讨的目的并非是进行有关营养教育原则和流程的说教,而是就有关术语的含义达成基本共识,对不同方法的异同加以区分,对共同流程和价值进行识别,并由此通过构建统一概念和为进一步围绕影响和价值开展讨论打下基础的方式强化专业社群。

E-learning course on Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) - version 2.0

The new free course offers a comprehensive yet readily accessible source of guidance on using the IPC four functions and related tools and procedures specifically focused on acute food insecurity.

The course consists of 11 lessons, of approximately 15 to 150 minutes duration each, and it is based on the IPC technical Manual version 2.0, which was originally published in 2012. It is self-paced learning and uses a variety of learning methods to get to grips with each topic: storytelling, illustrative case studies, interactive self-assessment tests and practice exercises. The course also includes glossary, background readings and relevant online resources.

The course has been developed in the framework of IPC Certification Programme which consists of three certification levels. The course is not a certification requirement but will help undertake the IPC Level 1 Test that is one of the key requirements to get the Level 1 IPC Analyst Certificate. A direct link to the IPC Level 1 Test is included in this course platform.

You can access the course here http://www.fao.org/elearning/#/elc/en/course/IPC2

The course is currently available in English. French and Spanish versions are under development.

The IPC Global Partnership thanks FAO, in particular the Capacity Development Unit of Office for Partnerships, Advocacy and Capacity Development. FAO, in its position as IPC Global Partner, has developed the full course and made it free on its e-learning centre as part of the "Improved Global Governance for Hunger Reduction Programme”, which is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by FAO.

Wageningen UR Food and Nutrition Security Trainings

The Food and Nutrition Security Training programme of the Centre for Development Innovation - Wageningen UR is pleased to announce the organisation of 2 international courses:

  1. Making agriculture work for food and nutrition security, to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 07 – 18 November 2016.

    http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Expertise-Services/Research-Institutes/centre-for-development-innovation/short-courses/Shortcourses2016/CDIcourse_ANL_2016.htm
  2. Linking emergency aid to food and nutrition security, to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 28 November – 09 December 2016.

Despite the world-wide increase of food availability, there are still around one billion people undernourished. This is far above of the target of MDG 1. There is now substantial evidence that malnutrition has life-long negative impacts on productivity and income-generating potential of the population.

If you are interested in learning about food and nutrition security, please consult our  for more information about the application procedure and costs.

Fellowships available: Deadline for fellowship application is 22 March, 2016.

For more information on nutrition, agriculture and experiences of previous participants of our courses, please visit the nutrition security portal: http://www.wageningenportals.nl/nutritionsecurity
