Synopsis (short abstract) The project aimed to offer access to agricultural technical vocational training to young Syrian and Lebanese students including enrolment in the Lebanese public secondary-level technical degree programme of the technical baccalaureate in agriculture. The final aim was for these students to have a better chance to access the job market as well as provide them with the necessary technical qualifications and official diplomas. The evaluation found that the project was highly relevant to the needs of the government and beneficiaries, and delivered on its obligations despite the complexity and the challenging operational environment.

This curricula was prepared under the project "Upgrading the Technical Agricultural Education System in Lebanon, OSRO / 601 / LEB / NET". In line with the SDG 4, this project was prepared by FAO - in cooperation with AVSI and WARD and based on the Guidelines on Integrated Management of Sustainable Fruitful Pine Forests in Lebanon. Beirut: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and Ministry of Agriculture Lebanon within the framework of the Technical Cooperation Project: Evaluation and development of a program to mitigate losses in the pine fruit forests in Lebanon. TCP / LEB / 3501 - FAO (2017). This curriculum aims to train young people and introduce them to areas related to cultivation, care and harvesting of fruitful stone pine in Lebanon, through its application in technical and vocational training and education for the age group of 14 to 25 years. At the end of this training, the trainee will be able to identify resources related to how to grow and care for the fruitful pine trees in Lebanon, learn about resources related to pine harvesting, packing and storing operations, and learn about resources related to post-harvest operations.

Global assessment of forest education
Creation of a Global Forest Education Platform and Launch of a Joint Initiative under the Aegis of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (FAO-ITTO-IUFRO project GCP /GLO/044/GER)

The role of the forest in countries’ efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are widely recognized. To maximize the contribution of forests to the SDGs, a workforce trained in forestry and a broad range of other forestrelated disciplines are needed as are widespread public knowledge and understanding of forest topics. However, recent literature highlights concerns that forest education is often not meeting the fast-changing needs of the labour market and the importance of forests and of forest managers and policymakers is often under-appreciated. The scope of this report covers education and training related to forests, trees outside forests and other wooded land (i.e. natural forests, forest plantations, woodlands, agroforests and urban forests). It includes education delivered through programmes of forestry and forest sciences as well as programmes of broader scope, (e.g. natural resources management, environmental sciences). It covers all levels of formal education: primary, secondary, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and universities and colleges (UC). This report reveals awareness of some overarching actions that would benefit forest education, including ameliorating a negative public image of professional forestrelated jobs and careers; developing better collaboration between educational institutions, the forest sector (private and public) and the general public; improving demographic diversity in the post-secondary student population; and strengthening digital readiness at all levels of education. The data collected by global survey on forest education supplemented by the six regional consultations represent a wealth of current information on the status and needs in forest education.

Final evaluation of the project Education for Effective Nutrition in Action (ENACT) and Mid-term evaluation of Le projet ENACT Francophone (ENAF) 2016

Also available in:

No results found.

This report presents the final evaluation of the project “Professional training in nutrition education and communication for strengthening national capacity in nutrition behaviour change”, also known as “ENACT: Education for effective nutrition in action” (GCP/INT/133/ GER), as well as the mid-term evaluation of the project “Le Projet ENACT Francophone (ENAF)” (GCP/INT/163/GER). Both projects were implemented by FAO with the funding support from the German Government. The ENACT and ENAF eva luations had a two-fold purpose: while both are forwardlooking and seek to provide accountability to the donor and other project stakeholders, the ENACT final evaluation had a stronger learning focus, aiming to draw lessons from the implementation process that could inform future decisions for ENACT and the remaining implementation of ENAF. The ENAF mid-term evaluation had a formative focus. Annex 1 includes the detailed Terms of Reference for the evaluations.
