Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRwanda: Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Rwanda is greatly susceptible to impacts of climate change through its high dependence on rainfed agriculture. Despite the country’s overall growth and development over the last three decades, climate change has resulted in seasonal droughts that are expected to become more prolonged, causing additional challenges, especially in the east and southeast of Rwanda. Adding to the climate-related difficulties facing rural households, food prices in Rwanda have been exceptionally high. Urgent action was needed to improve food security for households expected to face the impacts of combined shocks – drought plus high food and input prices – and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is acting fast. The Government of Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities – Anticipatory Action (SFERA-AA) window supports the resilience capacity of smallholder farmers to help them cope with the predicted impacts of drought, protect their assets and maintain their food security. This in turn will promote the adoption of climate-smart agriculture for better production, better nutrition, a better environment, and a better life for all. -

FAO Programme Review 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.FAO Zimbabwe is implementing diverse initiatives across the agriculture sector as a contribution to FAO’s Resilience Strategy Southern Africa. The initiatives include taking a proactive approach to support timely information use in the agricultural and food security sector. This not only enables better hazard detection but also enhances the sector's overall resilience in responding to emerging challenges. The programme includes interventions that establish robust frameworks for anticipatory action coordination as well as early warning surveillance systems. This multi-actor, multi-sectoral approach reduces hazard impact on humanitarian sectors, showcasing the importance of collaborative efforts in resilience-building. In anticipation of the predicted El Niño-induced Drought FAO has played a leading role in advocating for anticipatory action and integrated sectoral interventions of food security, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Health) and nutrition increasing resilience by protecting smallholder farmers' livelihoods, it stands as a testament to international cooperation in addressing climate-related challenges. FAO is also coordinating efforts contributing towards sustainable food systems while emphasizing sustainability and inclusivity as it aligns with Zimbabwe's commitment to building resilient and robust food systems. By enhancing ecosystem resilience, it addresses livelihoods by providing sustainable solutions to agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Initiatives focus on resilient recovery through livelihood opportunities and the implementation of Climate Smart Agriculture. FAO in Zimbabwe is promoting community participation, gender mainstreaming, and ensuring compliance with international standards. In partnership with other United Nations agencies, FAO in Zimbabwe is contributing towards enhanced resilience for vulnerable households by implementing interventions that address economic and climate-induced shocks and stresses. Improving seed and fertilizer availability to supporting policy reforms in order to address fundamental aspects of food production, ensuring a resilient and sustainable agricultural landscape has been one of the focus areas of the collaboration between FAO and the government of Zimbabwe.In Zimbabwe, partner funding to FAO's resilience building initiatives has been instrumental in strengthening the various resilience dimensions, including preventive, anticipatory, absorptive, adaptive, and transformational capacities. By focusing on different aspects of resilience, FAO seeks to empower local communities, improve food security, and foster sustainable development in the face of complex challenges due to climate change and economic crisis. This document explores FAO's contributions to enhancing resilience capacities in Zimbabwe, shedding light on the organization's multifaceted approach and its impact on vulnerable populations.
