It was indelibly marked by terrible events such as the tsunami at the end of 2004, which killed some 230,000 people in south-east Asia; Africa’s ‘silent tsunamis’ in the form of widespread natural disasters and resulting poverty; Hurricane Katrina in the USA; the devastating earthquake in Pakistan (which killed an estimated 90,000 people); a profound crisis regarding the European Union (EU) constitution; terrorist attacks in London and violence in France; sharply rising fuel prices and the global threat posed by avian influenza. Nonetheless, 2005 also lived up to the hopes of those who billed it as ‘the year of development’. The EU, as the world’s biggest donor, agreed to substantially increase development aid and committed itself to deliver more, better and faster. The United Nations’ (UN’s) Millennium Conference in September concluded with strong support for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). And in Hong Kong, the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreed at its conference to adopt a Ministerial Declaration recognising the important role of the the finalisation of the 2006 programme of development package, including aid for trade. activities and budget, and preparations to attend the joint ACP-EU Council of Ministers In the midst of these far-reaching global 30th session, which culminated in the signing changes, the 5-year term of my predecessor, of the revised Cotonou Agreement (in Mr Carl Greenidge came to an end in February.

  • Lusaka, Zambia FAO - Food for the Cities Programme
    CITY REGION FOOD SYSTEM SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Lusaka, Zambia FAO - Food for the Cities Programme - WORKING DOCUMENT - Prepared by, at the University of Zambia, Godfrey Hampwaye, Mebelo Mataa, Gilbert Siame, and Olipa Lungu in consultation with FAO, 2016 ABOUT THIS REPORT City region food systems (CRFS) encompass the complex network of actors, processes and relationships involved in food production, processing, marketing and consumption in a given geographical region. The CRFS approach advocates for strengthened connectivity between urban centres and surrounding areas –whether peri-urban or rural– for a fair rural development and well- managed urbanisation. At the same time, it fosters the development of resilient and sustainable food systems, smallholder agriculture, sustainable rural and urban production, employment, improved livelihoods, and food and nutrition security for all. The Food for the Cities Programme aims at building more resilient and sustainable food systems within city regions by strengthening rural-urban linkages. The programme builds on the demand to better understand and operationalize the concept of city region food systems. It analyzes and assesses CRFS. The results will serve as a basis for further planning and informed decision-making, prioritizing investments and designing food policies and strategies, which aim at improving the resilience and sustainability of the entire food system, through a continuous participatory multi- stakeholder dialogue. In collaboration with the RUAF Foundation, projects are carried out in eight city regions: Colombo (Sri Lanka), Dakar (Senegal), Kitwe and Lusaka (Zambia), Medellin (Colombia), Quito (Ecuador), Toronto (Canada) and Utrecht (the Netherlands). This report describes the first phase of the city region food system (CRFS) assessment.
