Notes
- Summary:
- This document is a framework for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in food and nutrition security. It aims to provide strategic direction to the implementation of DRR measures in member countries across the agricultural-related sectors. Floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other hazards destroy agricultural, livestock and fishing infrastructure, assets, inputs, and production capacity. Economic crises induced by disaster led to soaring food prices, which in turn reduced real incomes, forcing the poor to sell their assets, decreasing their food consumption and reducing their dietary diversity. To address the problems created by disaster and enhance resilient livelihoods, the FAO responded to the recommendations made by its governing bodies by developing a Disaster Risk Reduction for Food and Nutrition Security Framework Program. The document explains that the direct beneficiaries of the framework are smallholders in developing countries, including small-scale farmers, fishers, herders, foresters, and the urban poor, particularly women. To ensure coherent and sustainable implementation, the framework program integrates four fundamental approaches: sustainable livelihoods and the ecosystem perspective, linking local to global levels, inter-disciplinarity, and programmatic. The core of the framework program deals with four integrated thematic pillars: creating an enabling environment, watching to safeguard, preparing to respond, and building resilience. Capacity development, knowledge management and communication, strategic partnership, and gender equity are identified as the four cross-cutting priorities of the framework, which are in line with the core functions of FAO’s strategic framework. The document then illustrates the effects of DRR on climate change adaptation (CCA) using the Hyogo Framework for Action and Cancun Adaptation Framework. For an implementation of the framework program at the global level, the document points to a need to give priority to advocacy, strategic partnership, knowledge management and communication, and capacity development. The document concludes that DRR protects development investments in the agriculture, livestock, fisheries and forestry sectors, helping the world’s most vulnerable people become food secure. The framework program presented in the document supports and provides strategic direction to FAO member countries and partners for the implementation of DRR for food and nutrition security programs.
