Resumen
Descripción
In November 2018, the European Union, through the 11th European Development Fund, provided FAO with a budget to support the implementation of the Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s Regional Agricultural Policy (RAP). The project’s objective was to create sustainable agricultural growth and socio-economic development in the SADC region. It was envisioned that the achievement of this objective would result in trade opportunities and an improved competitiveness of animal and plant products in regional and international trade, as well as improved food and nutrition security in all SADC Member States. In particular, the project aimed to enhance information on agricultural production, sustainability and competitiveness for evidence-based decision-making, and to improve access to markets through implementation regional control strategies for plant and animal pest and diseases, which threaten the food and nutrition security of the region and impact negatively on both regional and international trade.
