Book (series)Respecting free, prior and informed consent
Practical guidance for governments, companies, NGOs, indigenous peoples and local communities in relation to land acquisition
2014Improving governance of tenure is the objective of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (Guidelines), which serve as a reference and set out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practices. The Guidelines state that responsible investments should do no harm, safeguard against dispossession of legitimate tenure right holders and environmental damage, and should respect human rights. This technical guide on Respecting free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) sets out practical actions for government agencies to respect and protect FPIC and for civil society organizations, land users and private investors globally to comply with their responsibilities in relation to FPIC, as endorsed by the Guidelines. -
Book (series)The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
Financing to end hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms
2024Also available in:
No results found.Six years from 2030, hunger and food insecurity trends are not yet moving in the right direction to end hunger and food insecurity (SDG Target 2.1) by 2030. The indicators of progress towards global nutrition targets similarly show that the world is not on track to eliminate all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2). Billions of people still lack access to nutritious, safe and sufficient food. Nevertheless, progress in many countries provides hope of the possibility of getting back on track towards hunger and malnutrition eradication. Implementing the policies, investments and legislation needed to revert the current trends of hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition requires proper financing for food security and nutrition. Despite a broad agreement on the urgent need to increase financing for food security and nutrition, the same cannot be said for a common understanding regarding how this financing should be defined and tracked. The report provides a long-awaited definition of financing for food security and nutrition and guidance for its implementation. There are recommendations regarding the efficient use of innovative financing tools and reforms to the food security and nutrition financing architecture. Establishing a common definition of financing for food security and nutrition, and methods for its tracking, measurement and implementation, is an important first step towards sustainably increasing the financing flows needed to end hunger, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, and to ensure access to healthy diets for all, today and tomorrow. -
Book (series)Compulsory acquisition of land and compensation 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Compulsory acquisition is the power of government to acquire private rights in land without the willing consent of the owner or occupant in order to benefit society and is often necessary for social and economic development and the protection of the natural environment. The exercise of these powers is frequently contentious and problematic. The guide explains what compulsory acquisition and compensation are, and what constitutes good practice in this area, examining the consequences of poor legi slation, procedures and implementation. It is likely to be of most use in countries that are seeking to understand good practice in this area and to improve their own legislation, procedures and implementation in compulsory purchase and compensation in the interests of society as a whole. -
Book (stand-alone)Free Prior and Informed Consent: An indigenous peoples’ right and a good practice for local communities 2016
This Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) Manual is designed as a tool for project practitioners of a broad range of projects and programmes of any development organization, by providing information about the right to FPIC and how it can be implemented in six steps.
In an FPIC process, the “how”, “when” and “with and by whom”, are as important as “what” is being proposed. For an FPIC process to be effective and result in consent or lack of it, the way in which the process is conducted is paramount. The time allocated for the discussions among the indigenous peoples, the cultural appropriateness of the way the information is conveyed, and the involvement of the whole community, including key groups like women, the elderly and the youth in the process, are all essential. A thorough and well carried FPIC process helps guarantee everyone’s right to self-determination, allowing them to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
This FPIC Manual will ena ble field practitioners to incorporate FPIC into project and programmes’ design and implementation, ensuring that indigenous peoples’ rights are duly respected. FPIC can be considered the “gold standard” because it allows for the highest form of participation of local stakeholders in development projects.

Book (series)Perspectives de récolte et situation alimentaire
Rapport mondial triennal, no. 2, juillet 2024
2024Le rapport Perspectives de récoltes et situation alimentaire, publié trois par an, fournit une analyse prospective de la situation alimentaire à travers le monde, en mettant l'accent sur les perspectives de production céréalière, la situation des marchés et les conditions de sécurité alimentaire, en accordant une attention particulière aux pays à faible revenu et à déficit vivrier.Selon les évaluations de la FAO, 45 pays, dont 33 en Afrique, neuf en Asie, deux en Amérique latine et Caraïbes, et un en Europe, ont besoin d’une aide alimentaire extérieure. Les niveaux les plus graves d’insécurité alimentaire aiguë sont observés dans les territoires en proie à des conflits, y compris la Palestine (bande de Gaza) et le Soudan, où les populations locales sont également confrontées à des risques de famine. Les conditions de sécheresse en Afrique australe devraient aggraver l’insécurité alimentaire aiguë en 2024. Les disponibilités céréalières mondiales en 2023/24 restent confortables; les perspectives préliminaires concernant la production de blé en 2024 sont favorables. -
