An account of the consultation at the FAO regional office in Bangkok from 19 to 22 November 2002, attended by representatives of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam.

The expert consultation took stock of advances made by countries in design, implementation and monitoring of actions to address food insecurity and vulnerability. The report provides conclusions and recommendations from the papers presented and discussed, including progress by countries in the region toward implementing FIVIMS.
