    Strengthening Agricultural Market Information Systems Globally and in Selected Countries - GCP/GLO/359/BMG 2019

    In June 2011, the G20 Ministers of Agriculture recognized the importance of timely, accurate and transparent information in addressing food price volatility and policy dialogues, and launched the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS). The system is a collaborative food information initiative that unites G20 countries and Spain, as well as seven other main producing and consuming countries of the commodities monitored by AMIS (wheat, maize, rice and soybeans). The system serves as a platform through which countries, international organizations and the private sector can work together to strengthen synergies and collaboration in order to improve data reliability, timeliness and frequency. The project, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, aimed to contribute to the initiative by strengthening the AMIS platform globally and with the national information systems of three selected countries: Bangladesh, India and Nigeria.

    Marketing strategy for canned seafood products to be produced by the Integrated Fisheries Project, Cochin, India. Phase II, Field document 13

    The main objective of the marketing strategy for canned seafood products to be produced by the Integrated Fisheries Project (IFP) of the Government of India is to popularize such products to a wider consume.r group in the Indian domestic market than is possible by the private sector at the present time, so that a large canning industry can be based on, and optimum use made of, the pelagic fish resources of India. A secondary aim is to provide samples for prospective exports but the limited produ ction capacity cannot expect to fill export orders.

    Evaluation of the project “Strengthening the role of women in peacebuilding through natural resources management at the community level in the rural areas of the governorates of Sana’a and Lahaj in Yemen”
    Project code: UNJP/YEM/038/PBF
    2021

    Women have traditionally played a role in water conflict resolution in rural areas. The most transformative change the project has achieved is the institutionalization of this role through the Water User Associations (WUAs) so that women gain further acceptance within their communities. The evaluation found that FAO and IOM should further explore the catalytic effect of this project in sustaining local peace prospects, particularly with an enhanced role for women in conflict resolution, and should build a necessary link to the national peacebuilding efforts. This could be done through a cascading programming, i.e. two-three PBF projects to be designed and implemented sequentially so they can have a better chance to contribute to higher order outcomes. The successful resolution of water conflicts and the restoration of water infrastructure through the CfW component had a direct effect on increased crop production and income of farmers. The measures in place to promote the sustainability of the project and the continuation of improved agriculture once the project has come to an end rely on the increased capacity of WUAs to use their conflict resolution skills, maintain the sites and find further support. Youth were not explicitly targeted in conflict resolution activities but they represented the majority of the beneficiaries of cash for work (CfW) activities. FAO and IOM should have a targeted approach if they are to work on youth, peace and security. They should also do a thorough assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of CfW on the Yemen context before rolling about a programme-wide CfW or cash transfer activities in Yemen.

    Emergency response
    Evaluation of the project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" - Phase I
    OSRO/BKF/801/SWE
    2022
    Also available in:
    The project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" is financed by the Swedish International Development Agency. FAO implemented the project in partnership with the Government of Burkina Faso through the Ministry for Agriculture, Hydro-agricultural Development and Mechanisation. The project seeks to improve vulnerable populations’ access to food and to means of food production. This first phase of the evaluation focused on suggesting improvements to the project over the rest of its implementation period, and more particularly improvements as pertaining to relevance, efficiency and efficacy of the project. The implementation of these recommendations should allow the project and more generally FAO, the FAO Office in Burkina Faso and the Government, to close a project that has achieved its objectives
