1. Paragraph 61 of the SIDS
Accelerated Modalities of Action
(SAMOA) Pathway asks FAO to
facilitate the development of a
food security and nutrition action
programme
GAP aims to accelerate action on
food security and nutrition to
support SIDS efforts towards the
2030 Agenda
GAP is a global guidance
document providing a framework
to ensure coherence in the
design of a broad range of actors’
interventions on FSN
GAP recognises the unique and
particular vulnerabilities that
create a complex set of FSN
challenges

• Food self-sufficiency is an unrealistic objective
for SIDS
• But some rebalancing needs to happen
– Vulnerable to external shocks including price and
supply volatility
– Unintended consequence of increased imports of
energy-dense foods high in fat, salt and sugar
