ProjectBoosting Decent Rural Employment through the Implementation of the Integrated Country Approach and Dimitra Clubs - FMM/GLO/122/MUL 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In recent years, FAO has implemented a number of projects to bolster decent rural employment (DRE) and to implement Dimitra Clubs (DCs) in many countries, thanks to funding provided by the Flexible Multi Partner Mechanism (FMM). Projects focusing on increasing DRE for youth in the agri food systems of targeted countries have utilized FAO’s Integrated Country Approach (ICA), which includes advocacy and communication activities, the provision of policy and strategy advice, technical support and capacity development, the generation of knowledge and the development of partnerships. Other projects have facilitated the implementation of DCs. These clubs take a bottom up, community driven approach to development by building the capacities of rural populations, particularly women, through the dissemination of information and the exchange of experiences. The goal of the DCs is to amplify the voices of rural women, so that their voices are heard at national and international level. In order to maintain and expand upon the significant results achieved by previous projects, this project was formulated to ensure continued coordination and technical support to DRE and DC activities, to mobilize further resources and to create partnerships for subsequent projects in these areas. -
ProjectHarnessing Knowledge and Networks for Capacity Building in Inclusive Rural Finance (CABFIN) - GCP/GLO/788/IFA 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The project was implemented in the framework of the CABFIN Partnership “Capacity Building in Rural Finance” , a collaboration effort among FAO, GIZ, IFAD, UNCDF, WB and EFP aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange and capacity development among relevant public and private stakeholders in order to increase the availability and effective use of financial services in rural areas. Despite the importance of agriculture and the food system in the overall development process and the rise in interest in agribusiness among private investors, the agricultural sector remains largely underserved by finance. About 70 percent of demand for smallholder finance remains unmet. One important challenge to the development and promotion of appropriate financial services for rural actors, including smallholder farmers, is the lack of collaboration among stakeholders in the fragmented rural finance sector. Significant effort is required to generate and mainstream knowledge and skills that are not only relevant, innovative and adding value, but also validated and used by as many organizations and practitioners as possible. To address this, the goal of the project was to promote the application of good practices identified and consolidated by CABFIN members and their networks to support the development of inclusive and sustainable rural and agricultural financial markets in developing countries.
