ProjectDevelopment of Sierra Leone Mechanization Policy - TCP/SIL/3802 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Sustainable agricultural mechanization is essential for Sierra Leone's structural transformation and job creation, as well as being a key component of achieving zero hunger. Despite efforts to date, most agricultural activities in the country, including land preparation, harvesting and threshing, are still carried out manually. To ensure sustainable national food security, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security (MAFFS) is promoting the effective and efficient use of agricultural machinery such as tractors, power tillers, combined harvesters, etc. The adoption of a sound mechanization policy in Sierra Leone would contribute to sustainable agriculture, improved food and nutrition security and increased resilience to climate change and other shocks. -
ProjectImproving Rural Livelihoods in Azerbaijan through a Sustainable Agricultural Advisory Service System - GCP/AZE/018/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.While previous efforts have been made to reform Azerbaijan’s agricultural knowledge and innovation system (AKIS) the main shortcoming within its agricultural advisory services (AAS) has been the absence of a systemic and systematic approach with a strategic vision and clear mission, supported by an adequate enabling environment. Linkages between education, research and extension have also been absent, while capacities among the AAS actors for facilitating innovation are low or non-existent. This has led to a situation in which existing AAS institutions are unable to address adequately the needs of farmers, consumers, entrepreneurs and agro-industry. The project specifically aimed to assist the Government of Azerbaijan and service providers in rural areas in better understanding and adopting operational systems, processes and services that are more focused, targeted and relevant to farmers’ innovation needs for increasing farm incomes, while protecting and enhancing the natural environment.
