DocumentEvaluation reportNigeria National Special Programme for Food Security (2002-2006) (UTF/NIR/047/NIR) Management Response and Follow-up Reporting 2009
Also available in:
No results found.Overall the Management of the National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) is of the opinion that most of the recommendations listed in the evaluation report are valid and useful for programme planning. A number of the evaluation’s recommendations coincide with the recommendations made previously by the NSPFS Implementation Completion Review (ICR) which was carried out in 2007. These were taken into consideration in the planning of the National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) Expansio n Phase, given that the planning of the Expansion Phase took place prior to the Independent Evaluation. In this sense, the NPFS Management is already well on track with the implementation of the evaluation’s recommendations. A notable example is the increased effort to improve the M&E system and the currently ongoing work on establishing a programme baseline which will serve as a baseline for assessing programme impact. -

However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields.
