Soil governance analysis: Indonesia
No full textThis brief critically reviewed and analysed soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks in Indonesia, to provide recommendations to policymakers for addressing any policy gaps and strengthening implementation and monitoring mechanisms. The analysis, supported by officers from relevant government bodies, was based on the instruments’ effectiveness in addressing key soil threats, as well as on their implementation, monitoring and improvement. The assessment focused on the following key criteria: 1. Legislative frameworks: analysis of existing strategies and legislative frameworks and their effectiveness in addressing major soil threats. 2. Institutional arrangements: analysis of government bodies’ roles in formulating, implementing and monitoring soil strategies and frameworks, and their collaboration and information exchange mechanisms.3. Implementation: evaluation of strategies and enforcement mechanisms for promoting, monitoring and enforcing assessing soil-related strategies and legislative frameworks. 4. Feedback system: assessment of processes for improving strategies and legislative frameworks based on outcomes and stakeholder feedback
Report of the Fourteenth session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Steering Committee meeting, Denmark, Copenhagen (Hybrid meeting), 30 June, 1 and 4 July 2025
No full textThe Fourteenth Session of the FIRMS Steering Committee (FSC14) focused on strategic enhancements to global fisheries status reporting, and welcoming the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP-IGO) as a new Partner to expand its regional coverage. A primary outcome was the review of the updated FAO State of Stocks Index (SoSI), which features a new methodology based on B/Bmsy indicators. Partners committed to biennial data calls and timely reporting for future SoSI editions. Significant progress was reported across core FIRMS products: the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) advanced its database and implemented UUIDs for SoSI support, while the Global Tuna Atlas (GTA) achieved harmonization with major tRFMOs, leading to a new annual data call. FSC14 also prioritized consistency by adopting new terminologies and encouraging partners to map their indicators to the SoSI thresholds (Overfished, Maximally Fished, Underfished). Looking forward, the Committee established a dedicated Working Group to develop guidelines for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within FIRMS

The progressive control pathway for African animal trypanosomosis – Operational guidelines
No full textAfrican animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a wasting and often fatal disease that continues to place a huge burden on livestock keepers. AAT also hinders mixed crop–livestock agriculture and affects public health by constituting a source of infection to humans. The progressive control pathway (PCP) is an evidence-based, stepwise approach first developed for foot-and-mouth disease and subsequently adopted for several other diseases. In 2017, FAO and partners adapted the PCP to AAT and published it as an opinion paper in a scientific journal. Since then, the PCP-AAT has been promoted through projects, workshops and trainings. Important achievements include the establishment of robust information systems (i.e. "atlases") and the development of national strategies and roadmaps. However, the lack of clear operational guidelines has often slowed down the mainstreaming of the approach into national and regional policies. The present publication aims to fill this gap, by providing a reference for the operationalization of the PCP-AAT from the subnational to the regional level. The guidelines identify five pillars that cut across all stages of the PCP, i.e. (i) AAT diagnosis and vector detection, (ii) surveillance, (iii) prevention and control, (iv) veterinary systems capacity and enabling environment, and (v) stakeholders’ engagement. For each of these pillars, specific outcomes and typical activities are proposed for each PCP stage. Finally, indications are given on the development of PCP implementation roadmaps. For the development of these guidelines, FAO gathered input from a range of experts and stakeholders, including endemic countries, research institutions, international organizations, resource partners and the private sector
