Also available in:
No results found.The Government of Lao People’s Democratic Republic has committed to tackling food insecurity and severe levels of undernutrition in the country in a number of ways, including through the implementation of diversified and nutrition-sensitive home food production systems. However, these production systems had not been established in a systematic way as yet, and their potential for learning had not been fully explored in the country. Against this background, the project aimed to develop a practical, sustainable and replicable model for nutrition-sensitive home food production, to improve family members’ nutritional status in the villages of Nam Far, Nam Mang and Nam Seua in Luang Namtha Province. -

No results found.In Kenya, there is growing recognition among countygovernments that county regional economic integrationcan provide the critical leverage necessary to realizeeconomic growth potential. In view of this, countieswithin close geographic proximity have come togetherto establish six regional economic blocs. One of theseeconomic blocs comprises six coastal region counties(Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Tana River and TaitaTaveta Counties), known as Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani(JKP). A Secretariat was established to oversee theimplementation of JKP’s development activities, ofwhich the regional Economic Development blueprintwas a critical priority, as all future developmentinvestments in the coastal region would be guidedby this blueprint. Against this background, FAO aimedto support JKP, through its Secretariat, to develop aparticipatory economic blueprint and a detailedagriculture strategy for the region. -
ProjectSupport to Community Land Governance for Improved Tenure Security through Enhancing Institutional Capacity at the National and County Levels - TCP/KEN/3705 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The promotion and enforcement of land ownership rights, in particular community lands, remains a contentious policy issue in Kenya, due in part to legislative and institutional capacity limitations at a decentralized, county level. In turn, this has limited the degree to which land administration and management efforts reach the predominantly pastoralist communities who inhabit Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL). Despite ASAL accounting for over 80 percent of Kenya’s total land area, ASAL communities have showed disproportionately lower human development and higher poverty levels vis-à-vis the national average. In addition, community land in Kenya is mainly managed under customary law frameworks or group ranches, accounting for approximately 70 percent of all land. Coupled with insufficient a land tenure support that is specific to their tenure types, ASAL communities have been marginalized within their own country. With ASAL further characterized by low and erratic rainfall, the need for diversified livelihoods that improve community-based income-generating opportunities is paramount.
