Resumen
Descripción
In response to rapid urbanization and its associated challenges, the FAO GCI has played a pivotal role in promoting sustainable urban development worldwide. By addressing critical gaps in urban planning, particularly in integrating agriculture, food systems, and forestry, the subprogramme has empowered local governments to craft sustainable solutions to environmental and public health issues. This subprogramme was successfully implemented in ten countries including (RAF: Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Rwanda, Uganda, RAP: Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, RLC: Dominica, Honduras). It significantly contributed to multiple SDGs, including SDG 1 No Poverty, SDG 2 Zero Hunger, SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 13 Climate Action, and SDG 15 Life on Land. The subprogramme collaborated closely with stakeholders within urban contexts, including city planners, municipal entities, NGOs and CSOs, and educational institutions, ensuring broad engagement and ownership, to address issues such as food waste, urban farming, and multi-stakeholder engagement. Ultimately, the beneficiaries are the city dwellers, particularly the most vulnerable, women, and youth.
