ProjectFactsheetAssisting Small-Scale Irrigation and Value Addition in Kenya - UTF/KEN/083/KEN 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector is Kenya is critical to the national economy and has been identified as a priority area in national strategy and policies contributing to improving food security and nutrition. In line with Kenya Vision 2030, the government has launched a strategy to transform smallholder agriculture from its subsistence status into a modern, sustainable, commercially oriented and competitive sector. In support of this strategy, “The Kenya Small scale Irrigation and Value Addition Project KSIVAP”, aimed to enhance smallholders’ agricultural competitiveness, and improve food and nutrition security in eleven counties. The project required robust institutional, organizational and technical capacity at national and county levels to effectively deliver on its mandate and functions. Following the devolution of agriculture in 2010, however, the extension service presented critical capacity gaps in the provision of technical support for the commercialization of smallholder agriculture. A Technical Assistance (TA) project was therefore designed to provide technical support and to assist in the capacity building and performance development of national and county coordination units in the sector. -

Book (stand-alone)Flagship2015–16年农产品市场状况
贸易与粮食安全：更好地平衡国家重点与集体利益
2015全球农产品和粮食产品贸易已在最近几十年取得快速增长，各国作为出口或进口方越来越多地参与这一贸易进程。这种趋势预计将在今后几十年中持续。因此，贸易将在全球各区域对粮食安全的程度和性质产生越来越重要的影响。我们面临的挑战就是确保农产品贸易的扩大能对消除饥饿、粮食不安全和营养不良起到促进作用，而不是阻碍作用。 本版《农产品市场状况》旨在缓解目前各方在农产品贸易对粮食安全产生的影响以及如何管理农产品贸易以确保贸易开放度的增加能惠及所有国家等问题上出现的观点两极分化现象。本书通过就一系列话题举证和说明，努力促成各方就政策选择开展有实证依据的辩论，并在政策选择过程中努力实现必要的改进。 -
No Thumbnail AvailableBook (stand-alone)Technical studyGuidelines for Planning Irrigation and Drainage Investment Projects
Technical Paper N. 11 - 1996
1996Also available in:
No results found.Publicly-financed irrigation and drainage investment projects have too often performed poorly. In some cases, shortcomings were because planners gave inadequate consideration to institutional constraints or to the practical problems of implementation, or because there was insufficient commitment by governments or users to the developments proposed. Lessons have been learned from these setbacks, however. This guideline gives prominence to the planning approaches which have evolved and are still e volving to avoid future difficulties. It stresses sounder formulation of irrigation and drainage investment strategies, improved conceptualisation of project options, and building stronger participation and commitment into the detailed planning process. Intended users include staff, trainees and consultants of the FAO Investment Centre, government planning teams, and others concerned with planning irrigation and drainage investments. (Note: Part I only is reproduced here, due to the length of th e document, to provide a look at the issues dictating the need for new approaches in irrigation and drainage investment projects. The full publication may be ordered from the FAO Publications Catalogue.)
