The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is leading international efforts in the fight against hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. It helps developing countries and countries in transition to modernize and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries practices to achieve good nutrition for all. FAO Lebanon Programme is aligned with FAO’s global Strategic Objectives. Lebanon was among the first countries to benefit from an FAO Country Office to strengthen the Organization’s programmes on the ground.

Book (stand-alone)Skills Development for Inclusive Growth in the Lebanese Agriculture Sector - Policy Brief 2020
Also available in:
This policy brief presents a summary study of the situation of agriculture and food sector, specifically the agricultural labour market in Lebanon, and highlights the importance of addressing a pronounced skills mismatch in the agricultural labour market to spur agriculture sector development. It reflects the difficulties employers are facing in finding workers with the skills required to perform their jobs at a price that they are able to pay; noting that skill mismatches were reported in all sub-sectors, including several technical and life such as a number of crop and animal farming skills as well as some craft-related skills. In addition, the agricultural technical schools training does not meet market demand and these schools On-Job-Training (OJT) are insufficient to fill the needed gaps in labour market. One more major challenge increasing the skill mismatch is the lack of interest of youth in enrolling in agricultural technical schools. Thus this policy highlights the importance of work-based learning, innovative practices for small-scale farmers, introduction of new techniques and skills, and the necessity of upgrading the agricultural technical schools to meet market demands and to encourage the engagement of students in the agricultural sector. Of course, this is a whole process the policy includes with the recommended role of the Ministry of Agriculture and its education and services department highlighted in the ministry’s 2021-2025 strategy, development of competency-based approach to teaching, learning, testing and certification for improved quality within the agricultural TVET system, in addition to the development of apprenticeship framework.
