Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Workshop on Creating an Enabling Environment for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries
Rome, 14–16 November 2023
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project “Creating an enabling environment for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries” (GCP/GLO/965/SWE), funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), supports the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF Guidelines). It does so by, inter alia, improving relevant legal frameworks applicable to small-scale fisheries and reducing marginalization of small-scale fisheries stakeholders in decision-making processes. The project works with a wide range of stakeholders, ranging from small-scale fishing communities and organizations, to governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and academia, in both marine and inland waters. The project, initiated in December 2018, was designed under the FAO Umbrella Programme for the Promotion and Application of the SSF Guidelines (PGM/MUL/2015-2020/SSF) – Enhancing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to food security and sustainable livelihoods. Activities under the project first started in Cabo Verde, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Myanmar, Namibia, Oman, Philippines, Senegal and United Republic of Tanzania. In subsequent phases of the project, support was further extended upon ad hoc requests to other countries, such as Mozambique, and to a number of small-scale fisheries organizations, civil society orgranizations (CSOs) and NGOs. The project fosters synergieswith the project implementing the SSF Guidelines for gender-equitable and climate resilient food systems and livelihoods’ supported through the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). A workshop on this project with project countries and partners brought together people to share experiences and lessons learned from the project. The workshop, which took place in Rome, Italy, from 14 to 16 November 2023, hosted discussions on the additional followup support that is required to further facilitate the implementation of the SSF Guidelinesat national, regional and global level, hence contributing to a more sustainable small-scale fisheries sector. -

No results found.For well over a decade, developing countries have been encouraged to undertake activities in their forestry sectors that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also working to conserve, enhance and sustainably manage forest carbon stocks. These activities are known collectively as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), which was established under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). More recently, these actions were con firmed by the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change, which entered into force in 2016, as a core element of a new global climate change regime. Under this regime, governments have agreed on policy approaches and positive incentives for activities that reduce GHG emissions and enhance carbon sinks in the forest sector in developing countries. Countries have been supported in their REDD+ efforts by organizations including United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which has spe cialized in assisting the development of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) capabilities – crucial to the REDD+ process. This flyer provides an update of developments related to the MRV of REDD+ activities, as well as updating activities related to countries’ submissions of Forest Reference (Emission) Levels (FRELs/FRLs). This report will also summarize experiences with the technical assessment process as of early 2017 and offer an overview of initial REDD+ results reporting and tec hnical analyses of those reports. -

No results found.Cette note de synthèse a pour objectif de présenter les résultats de l’évaluation juridique des réglementations et politiques de pêches dans le cadre de l’Initiative Pêches Côtières en Afrique de l'Ouest (IPC-AO). Celle-ci s’inscrit dans une démarche de recherche juridique visant à déterminer aussi systématiquement et objectivement que possible l’intérêt, l’efficacité, les effets et l’opérationnalité d’une réglementation ou d’une politique au regard des buts et objectifs à atteindre et des réalisations escomptées. Cette évaluation est réalisée sur la base d’une lecture critique des textes juridiques et politiques et en documentant (i) des tableaux sur l’état des lieux et d’application des textes et politiques relatifs aux pêches (ii) et une matrice sur les exigences juridiques permettant de vérifier le degré de conformité des textes nationaux avec le droit international des pêches. Cet exercice d’évaluation du projet IPC a été le premier test d’application : (i) du Guide de la FAO intitulé «Outil de diagnostic juridique SSF» ; (ii) des exigences juridiques mesurant la prise en compte de la dimension genre et le respect des règles et normes sanitaires des produits halieutiques.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

BookletEvaluation reportEvaluation of the project “Integrated Country Approach for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agrifood system” Phase III (2019–2023)
Project code: GCP/INT/335/MUL
2024Also available in:
No results found.The evaluation highlights the project's strong alignment with national priorities and FAO objectives, effectively addressing the needs of youth organizations and rural youth. It successfully enhanced the capacity of youth in agrifood systems, including agricultural production, digital and financial literacy, and marketing. While progress was made in developing agricultural value chains, further improvement is needed by adopting a strategic market systems approach. The ICA project fostered multistakeholder engagement, strengthening sustainability through national collaboration. However, challenges remain, particularly in access to finance for young agripreneurs and the need for tailored interventions to support diverse youth needs. The evaluation recommends: i) Adopting a strategic market systems approach for sustained systemic change; ii) Continuing a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach to provide comprehensive support to youth; iii) Implementing a two-stage targeting strategy, starting with youth structures and then focusing on individuals, ensuring inclusion of vulnerable groups; iv) Developing an exit strategy that ensures long-term sustainability in countries not continuing in future project phases; v) Establishing a comprehensive results framework and monitoring system for all ICA country projects. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the project "Integrating climate resilience into agricultural and pastoral production for food security in vulnerable rural areas through the farmers field school approach
Project code: GCP/BKF/054/LDF GEF ID: 5014
2020Also available in:
Burkina Faso's socio-economic characteristics and geographical location make it vulnerable to disasters in general and climate change in particular. According to the country's projections, climate change will lead to: a decrease in groundwater recharge; the disappearance of certain surface watercourses and forest tributaries; disruptions in the plant growth cycle as well as in crop, livestock and natural resource management systems. The project, implemented by FAO from May 2015 to August 2020, aimed to “enhance the capacity of Burkina Faso’s agricultural and pastoral sectors to cope with climate change, by mainstreaming climate change adaptation (CCA) practices and strategies into on-going agricultural development initiatives and agricultural policies and programming and upscaling of farmers adoption of CCA technologies and practices through a network of already established farmer field schools (FFS)”. The project has satisfactorily contributed to building the capacity to adapt to climate change in the agricultural and pastoral sectors and in the populations of vulnerable areas of Burkina Faso. More specifically, the project has contributed highly to the sustainable management of 20 432.75 ha of land, including 15 632.75 ha of cultivated land and 4 800 ha of pasture. The project built the capacities of 29 201 beneficiaries, including 10 528 (57 percent women) in farmer field schools/agro-pastoral field schools. However, this result is weakened by the lack of anticipation in formalising collaboration with co-financing partners involved in these activities.
