BookletCorporate general interestEast Africa Resilience Strategy 2018–2022. Programme of Work 2020–2021 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Programme of Work 2020–2021 is the second module of the Eastern Africa Resilience Strategy 2018–2022, and the two should therefore be read in conjunction. The main features of the new Programme of Work were presented and discussed with resource partners in Nairobi in December 2019. Since December 2019, the region has been devastated by the Desert Locust, while the full-scale effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the associated containment measures are unfolding as the pandemic spreads. It is eroding the resilience capacity of vulnerable groups including small-scale farmers, herders, fishers and forest-dependent communities and workers in urban areas. While the strategic objective, outcomes and outputs remain unchanged, the new Programme of Work’s activities reflect global evolutions in the humanitarian-development ecosystem, recent and emerging regional threats and risks, particularly Desert Locust and COVID-19, and lessons learned during the past two years. -

DocumentBulletinNon-wood news
An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products
2007Also available in:
No results found.Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge. -
