    Assessing Resilience and Building Capacity with SHARP+ in Türkiye in Support of Climate Policy and Reporting - UTF/TUR/071/TUR-F 2025
    Also available in:

    Agriculture in Türkiye is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with small- and medium-sized farms facing challenges such as water scarcity, reduced productivity, and limited adaptive capacity. Reliable data on household-level resilience and the integration of such evidence into national strategies were lacking. To address this gap, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry - General Directorate of Agricultural Research and Policies (TAGEM) implemented the project “Climate Change Awareness Assessment and Capacity Building (SHARP+ Tool)” under the World Bank–financed Türkiye Climate Smart and Competitive Agricultural Growth Project. The project sought to assess the resilience of farming households, build institutional capacity to apply the Self-evaluation and Holistic Assessment of Climate Resilience of Farmers and Pastoralists (SHARP+) methodology, and translate findings into evidence-based policy recommendations aligned with Türkiye’s climate commitments and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting obligations.

    Resilience Building in South Sudan
    FAO Programme Review 2024

    The FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF) collaborates with several African countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including South Sudan, to enhance resilience building efforts. In South Sudan, FAO implements a comprehensive resilience program focusing on various sectors such as agriculture, livestock, and agribusiness to improve food security, livelihoods, and resilience. This initiative involves supporting farmer organizations, infrastructure development, early warning systems, and livestock sector improvements. FAO also contributes to humanitarian programming and crisis management, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organization emphasizes inclusivity, sustainability, and modernization through digital transformation. By addressing different dimensions of resilience, FAO aims to empower communities and foster sustainable development amidst complex challenges.This document reflects an analysis of ongoing FAO South Sudan resilience building interventions and how they contribute towards the five capacities for resilience building, namely: Preventive: reduce existing and future risks; Anticipative: act early; Absorptive: the ability to bounce back, overwhelmingly humanitarian (emergency response); Adaptive: incremental adjustments; Transformative: make fundamental changes to the system. The five capacity areas are in most cases overlapping during specific project implementation, with the classification based on the overarching resilience capacity area.

    The Federal Republic of Nigeria Resilience Strategy 2021–2023
    Increasing the resilience of agriculture-based livelihood – The pathway to humanitarian–development–peace nexus
    2021
    Also available in:

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed this three-year strategy to strengthen resilience of agriculture-based livelihoods in Nigeria under recurring threats from both conflict and natural hazard-induced disasters to better withstand shocks and thrive. It integrates the pathways for resilience through four main outcome areas. The first one is the strengthening of the national institutions and their entities for disaster risk reduction, natural resources management and food crisis prevention and management in the agriculture sector. Secondly, it aims to inform agriculture-based livelihood interventions with reliable data, analysis and a well-established early warning system against known and emerging risks and hazards, for enhanced food security. Besides, the strategy aims to promote diversified, resilient and inclusive agriculture-based livelihood systems and also to improve and protect food security and nutrition, and agriculture-based livelihoods of crisis-affected populations.
