"Why do food insecurity and malnutrition still exist in a country that
produces enough food for its entire population? This is the question
at the heart of the Strategic Review of Food and Nutrition Security
in Myanmar.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have provided countries
around the world with a broad global framework for development
through the year 2030. National governments are aligning their
development strategies around the 17 SDGs. For SDG 2 – Zero
Hunger – Strategic Reviews have been carried out in dozens of
countries across the world with the aim of providing a strong
evidence base to enhance and accelerate national efforts to
eliminate food insecurity and malnutrition. The Myanmar Strategic
Review is part of this global effort towards Zero Hunger.
Myanmar has shown its commitment to Zero Hunger as one of the
first countries in the Asia Pacific region to adopt the Zero Hunger
Challenge initiated by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Over the past few years, UN agencies and others have undertaken
various initiatives around SDG 2 in Myanmar. The Strategic Review
does not aim to duplicate these existing efforts, but is rather a
compilation and analytical synthesis of existing evidence, with
concrete recommendations on the way forward.
While the Strategic Review report itself provides a wealth of
information and analysis, translating this into action is even more
important. The report concludes with a set of recommendations for
the Government as well as all stakeholders in the food and nutrition
arena in Myanmar. This “whole of society approach” includes
development partners such as UN agencies and NGOs, as well as
other actors including the private sector, legislators, and
state/regional governments. I call on all of you to be champions of
SDG 2 by communicating the Strategic Review and its findings
widely. We hope that the report does not sit on shelves collecting
dust, but that the findings and recommendations are taken forward.
The publication of this report is not the end of the process, but
rather the beginning..."
