Synopsis (short abstract) Côte d’Ivoire has been a member of FAO since 1961 and the Organization has had a permanent presence in the country since 1987. The country is returning to stability after a decade of instability and social unrest (2002-2012), during which time FAO cooperation was dominated by agricultural emergency and rehabilitation assistance. Interventions today are aimed at transforming agriculture into a productive and income-generating sector that should enable the country to progress towards sustainable, inclusive agriculture, as a driver of industrial transformation.

    The present technical study provides the results and a summary of the most important lessons learned from implementation of a series of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the rice supply chains of Gagnoa in Côte d’Ivoire. The aim of the CSA practices was to enhance the adaptive capacity of the rice sector against climate change, as erratic rainfall patterns and droughts events have, historically, significantly impacted production. This study relies on data collected at farm and processing levels during two field missions to two pilot sites in August 2017 and September 2018 under the project “Contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire via l’agriculture intelligente face au climat en Côte d’Ivoire – cas de la filière riz”. This project is a technical cooperation project implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 2016 and 2018. The study provides a series of recommendations for policymakers, including incentives for the development of a modern bioenergy sector in Côte d’Ivoire which are still nascent.

    Action Plan for Crossborder Food Security and Nutrition, Côte d'Ivoire - Liberia 2013 - 2016
    Building resilience, peace and stability on the border between Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia through improved livelihoods and social cohesion

    In November 2010, Côte d’Ivoire held presidential elections – a long awaited democratic step anticipated by political forces - since the war in 2002. The Independent Electoral Commission (CEI) and the international community accepted the results in December 2010, but violence spiraled, including in the border region with Liberia. This region has seen repeated refugee flows over the decades, as well as border crossing - as a coping mechanism when livelihoods are threatened or simply for better ec onomic and social opportunities. The border region straddles the Cavalla River and is rich in natural resources including gold, diamonds and timber. With numerous water points across the region and direct access to the ocean, the soil is fertile and fish thrive in its rivers and lakes. Despite its natural wealth and fertile lands, food security remains a major concern within the region. Evidence collected in 2012 shows how food and social insecurity are tied to land conflict and weak social cohe sion, problems which persist throughout the region. The governments, United Nations agencies and NGOs of both countries have been working to address the needs of this vulnerable population. Until now, however, humanitarian actors on both sides of the border have tended to view their interventions primarily in a short-term perspective, and through a national lens, with little or no exchange between the two countries. The proposed interventions to be piloted for the coming three years reflect the cross-border realities of the situation, integrating root causes of conflict, namely weaknesses in food security, social cohesion and land tenure. Evidence-based programming aims to achieve two main objectives : 1) coordination, transparency and accountability throughout the implementation process, and 2) a rigorous impact assessment that can feed into future evidence-based policy-making
