The Government, with the support of Â鶹ÊÓƵ, has launched a strategic review of food and nutrition security. It aims to identify the challenges to be met at the national level and to help define the priority axes with a view to achieving the zero hunger goal (SDG2) by 2030.
Achieving zero hunger requires integrated approaches that respond to the multiple, interconnected causes of hunger and malnutrition. To respond to the Zero Hunger Challenge, the Government of Lesotho commissioned the Zero Hunger Strategic Review (ZHSR). The purpose of the ZHSR was to support national efforts to accelerate actions towards eliminating food insecurity and malnutrition.
The National Zero Hunger Strategic Review aims to facilitate implementation and progress towards SDG 2 and SDG 17 to enable Madagascar to work towards eliminating food insecurity and malnutrition and improve the quality of stakeholder engagement with the Government, align it with national development objectives and facilitate strategic consultations. The Strategic Review (i) identifies gaps in interventions, resources and institutional capacity at the national level, and (ii) proposes priority areas for action where all stakeholders could achievement of SDG2.
This Review is inclusive, based on a consultative process and provides a comprehensive analysis of the problems faced by Tajikistan in ensuring food security and nutrition, and in achieving SDG 2 by 2030.
The review identifies a basic level for a common understanding of the problems and gaps in food security and nutrition, thereby facilitating the coordination of priority actions needed to eradicate hunger by 2030. The conclusions and recommendations of the Strategic Review will help to form the future directions and national priorities identified in the development programmes and strategies of Tajikistan, and will contribute to the evaluation of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).
Considering the multifactorial and multidisciplinary aspect of the fight against hunger and malnutrition, the Ivorian Government has launched in 2016 a new National Nutrition Policy and a National Multisectoral Plan for Nutrition, in addition to the existing sectorial strategies.
