Notes de l'éditeur

  1. S.A.M.O.A Pathway is the outcome document of the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS Conference), 1-4 September 2014, Samoa. Paragraph 61 of the SAMOA Pathway calls for FAO to facilitate a process to develop an action programme to address food and nutrition challenges in SIDS.
  2. To meet this mandate, FAO has worked in consultation with DESA and OHRLLS and the Ministerial Meeting on food security and climate adaptation was organized jointly by the Government of Italy, the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and FAO. The Ministerial meeting was attended by over 25 ministers and provided an opportunity to exchange experiences in the areas of food security and nutrition, particularly in light of the challenges facing SIDS with the adverse impacts of climate change. H.E. Mr. Paolo Gentiloni, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Italy announced USD 2.0 Million dollars as voluntary contribution to the recently launched FAO’s Climate Change Trust Fund for Small Islands Developing States. The Meetings Declaration recognized the importance towards FAO fulfilling the mandate given in paragraph 61 of the SAMOA Pathway related to an action programme to address the challenges of food security and nutrition. The action programme will include sustainability, promoting open and efficient markets, international cooperation, increasing rural income and jobs with a focus on family farmers and women, ending malnutrition in all its forms, enhancing resilience of agriculture (including crops, livestock forestry, fisheries and aquaculture), and maintaining natural ecological processes. Following the meeting, a Road Map has been prepared towards fulfilling paragraph 61 of the S.A.M.O.A Pathway and is presented in the next slide.
  3. The Road Map builds on existing processes, including the consultation meetings such as the FAO Regional Conferences and the UN Regional Economic Fora on Sustainable Development. It recognizes existing food and nutrition security policies and actions plans.   It calls for a close collaboration and consultation with SIDS member States, the UN System, regional inter-governmental bodies, development partners and non-state actors, including non-governmental and civil society institutions and the private sector. The Road Map is divided into 3 phases: 1) Preparatory meetings, including the one that is taking place today 2) Development and Review, which widens participation of multi-stakeholders (through regional consultation meetings, e-consultations, and questionnaire to be sent out to SIDS governments and other partners) throughout the development of the action programme, and the last one which is the 3) Approval phase, where the revised Action Programme will be presented at an interregional forum that could take place either at the AOSIS Ministerial meeting [to be held in the region] or here in NY during the General Assembly depending on the interests of the Member Countries. To conclude, the idea is to present the final version of the Action Programme to address food and nutrition challenges in SIDS in 2017 at the Biennial Forum in SIDS. We propose that this could be done at the FAO Conference in Rome in July 2017 and at the High-Level Political Forum in NY also in July 2017. The Road Map seeks support of all SIDS members to prepare the action programme and seek support of all our members and contributions to the Climate Change Trust Fund created by FAO.
