Descripción
The ACP MEAs Programme is an initiative of the European Commission (EC) addressing challenging environmental issues through the implementation of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) in the African, Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP) regions. FAO with the support of the European Union and in collaboration with UNEP and the Secretariat of the African, Caribbean, and the Pacific countries, works in these areas for building national, regional and global capacities to adopt ecosystem-based practices that are essential for halting the loss of biodiversity and achieving resilient societies, food security and nutrition.
In this third phase, the programme will continue its efforts on improving the management of pesticides applied in agricultural production. It will support countries in developing an institutional and policy environment conducive to the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity in agriculture. ACP MEAs 3 will also encourage farmers to transition to more sustainable, resilient and productive systems by promoting the application of ecologically sustainable practices and approaches.
