    This fact-sheet aims to promote the dynamism of women processors of fishery products in West Africa with regards to organization, processing, commercialization and diversification aspects. It showcases the work carried ou by women in terms of production of dried and salted grouper in Maio pilot site (Cabo Verde), production and commercialization of smoked tuna in FFT stove in Locodjro (Côte d'Ivoire) and production and commercialization of dried shrimps and molluscs in Saloum’s islands, Niodior (Senegal). The purpose is to: i) improve the efficiency of the value chain in fishing communities by sharing forms of organizational structures, good processing, and commercialization practices of fishery products by women; and ii) raise awareness to wider audience of fisheries stakeholders so they know more options for product improvement based on CFI experience.

    This brief describes the constraints as well as opportunities of women in the wood-based supply chain, from a case study from seven community-based forest cooperatives in the Atlántida, El Paraíso and Francisco Morazán regions of Honduras. These cooperatives are involved in a variety of income generating and employment opportunities based around wood product value chains; trade in other non-wood products, and small-scale livestock.

    Evaluation of the project “Promoting zero-deforestation cocoa production for reducing emissions in Côte d’Ivoire”
    Mid-term report, project code: GCP/IVC/609/GCF
    2024
    Also available in:

    The project “Promoting zero-deforestation cocoa production for reducing emissions in Côte d'Ivoire” (2021–2026) aims to reduce emissions through better land use, reforestation and reduced deforestation in three regions – Agnéby-Tiassa, La Mé and Sud-Comoé. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) provided financial support and FAO implemented the project with the Government of Côte d'Ivoire.The evaluation found that the project is relevant and strategically aligned with national development objectives and partner priorities. The logical framework is well developed, with some areas for improvement: gender disaggregation, baseline definitions for some indicators, and clarification of the co-benefits. The project did not achieve its mid-term objectives, mainly due to a delay during the first year.The monitoring and evaluation framework is appropriate but needs to be strengthened. Gender was well integrated in the design, but women’s presence in agroforestry and reforestation activities is still low. The project exhibits country ownership and sustainability potential.The evaluation has six recommendations: i) create a national platform for exchanges on zero-deforestation agriculture; ii) strengthen the alignment of the logical framework with the theory of change (TOC); iii) update demographic indicators; iv) strengthen knowledge management activities; v) reinforce gender mainstreaming and social inclusion; and vi) provide capacity building for members of the project steering committee.
