    This report presents the results of the evaluation of the Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme (LFSP) (GCP/ZIM/025/UK), implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) between 2013 and 2021. The programme sought to contribute to poverty reduction by actively addressing the specific constraints that smallholder farmers, particularly women, faced in raising the productivity of their farms and participating in markets.

    Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme (LFSP)

    Zimbabwe has some of the highest levels of food insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa, regardless of the outcome of its agricultural seasons. In this context, the engagement with operational partners in the context of Zimbabwe Livelihoods and Food Security Programme (LFSP) has had a profound impact on FAO’s ability to achieve results on the ground. Through OPIM (Operational Partners Implementation Modality), FAO could capitalize on the comparative advantage of its partners, drawing on invaluable local knowledge and resources to broaden the scope and reach of its interventions. LFSP’s engagement of a variety of partners with diverse experiences has, for instance, opened up multiple avenues to reach beneficiaries with new knowledge, skills and technologies. Similarly, LFSP’s operational partners have benefited from FAO’s own expertise. The existence of governance structures has ensured compliance with contractual obligations in terms of programme delivery, tracking results, risk management and achieving value for money through a structured monitoring and accountability process. Continuos communication and close coordination with operational partners was also a key feature for the project success and has translated into a strong culture of feedback between FAO and its operational partners, having a profound impact on the programme adaptability.

    Over the 2009/2010 agricultural season, FAO together with two implementing partners (Concern WorldWide and Sustainable Agricultural Trust) implemented an intervention in support of agricultural production and capacity building for improved land use amongst smallholder farmers living in communal lands in Hurungwe and Gokwe districts of Zimbabwe. This one year project followed a similar project funded by the same donor in the same communities in the 2008/9 season.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
