Descripción
The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region continues to face complex and interlinked challenges, calling for coordinated efforts and targeted investments. As the region continues to grapple with the compounded effects of climate change and worsening water scarcity, the need for innovative and sustainable solutions is becoming increasingly critical. Escalating economic disparities, rising public debts and inequalities present significant barriers to mobilizing resources, limiting progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, governance gaps hinder effective coordination among ministries and regional actors, undermining the efforts to address transboundary challenges and policy alignment. Despite these challenges, the region also presents opportunities for innovation, leveraging technology for agrifood systems transformation and fostering regional partnerships to enhance resilience and sustainability. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Office for Near East and North Africa (RNE) plays a pivotal role in addressing the main regional priorities as identified by the Member States. RNE’s areas of work, firmly anchored in FAO’s Strategic Framework (SF), focus on promoting sustainable agrifood systems, addressing food security challenges, fostering climate resilience and supporting inclusive and equitable development across the NENA region. This report captures FAO RNE’s key accomplishments in 2024, focusing on the work carried out under the Regional Priorities (RPs). It highlights the collective efforts to transform the agrifood systems by addressing the unique challenges and opportunities in the region.
