Zaatari Refugee Camp (ZRC), in Northern Jordan, is the seventh-largest refugee camp globally, and it hosts around 80 000 Syrian refugees. This new population generates 34 metric tons (MT) of waste, which is collected and trucked out of the camp daily. Disposing the solid waste has become one of the most serious environmental problems in Jordan, with much of its waste ending up in landfill.

In the last decade, FAO has been supporting governments and agricultural stakeholders to address the root causes of child labour in agriculture in Africa. This compendium provides an overview of the projects implemented, results, promising practices and lessons learned.  

This publication outlines key features of South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) and how FAO has applied SSTC to the delivery of its mission. The case studies presented provide a window on how SSTC has contributed to alleviating hunger and malnutrition in countries across the global South and has helped build resilience in the face of climate change and other development challenges. The lessons learned from these experiences are feeding into the new FAO SSTC Guidelines for Action (2022–2025) and will guide FAO's future results-based SSTC programmes.

Dès 2012, la FAO a renforcé son appui en faveur de la CSST et a étoffé le portefeuille correspondant, parallèlement à l’institutionnalisation progressive de ce domaine au sein de l’Organisation.

Sustainable agricultural development lies at the very heart of FAO’s mission to achieve food security and ensure that people everywhere have regular access to enough high-quality food to lead active and healthy lives. Agrifood systems are driven by the men and women whose daily lives are dedicated to working on the land and on waters and to managing food systems. Their skills, toil and years of accumulated experience are the backbone of food systems — they propel communities and countries. The efforts of agricultural workers represent a vital force moving us towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. South-South...
