No results found.The project was designed in response to a request from the Government of South Africa for assistance in the priority areas of food security and nutrition Efforts to implement FSN policies in an integrated manner were challenged by a lack of effective communication among the various government departments involved The structures to ensure that a multisectoral approach was implemented at decentralized levels of government were either weak or non existent and no mechanisms were in place to ensure mutual accountability The roles of these structures were undefined and the lack of an FSN information management system impeded FSN measuring, monitoring and evaluation (M& The aim of the project was to contribute to improving FSN policy processes and content development in order to reduce food insecurity in the country It would do this by facilitating the generation of baseline information on FSN indicators and policies, and by designing an M&E framework Multi stakeholder coordination of FSN issues would be ensured by establishing or strengthening multi stakeholder FSN coordination structures at national, provincial and district levels Finally FSN capacities and awareness among stakeholders would be increased through a capacity needs assessment for FSN implementation and the development of a capacity building programme Following an FAO/African Union Agricultural Ministers Declaration in April 2020 the FAO Regional Office for Africa developed guidelines to assess the anticipated impact of COVID 19 on food systems, agriculture and food security in African countries Funds from the current project were repurposed to conduct such an assessment in South Africa The aim of the assessment was to inform government responses to the crisis and put in place policies and actions to minimize the disruption of food supply chains, trade, food demand, income and livelihoods, especially among poor and vulnerable segments of the population. -
DocumentBangladesh: Bangladesh Country Programming Framework. CPF 2014- 2018. Towards Sustainable Agriculture and Improved Food Security & Nutrition 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Bangladesh is a strategic planning and management tool which provides FAO with a sound basis for developing its mid-term country programme, in line with the policies and development priorities of the Government. The specific objectives of the CPF are to identify country level priority areas of work, assistance needs and investment opportunities; to make FAO’s response at country level more effective; to help coordinate and contribute to multilatera l goals relating to sustainable agriculture, rural development, food security and nutrition. The identified focus areas must also reflect and be consistent with the mandate and expertise of FAO as a specialized technical agency of the UN (defined by its corporate FAO Strategic Framework and Regional Priorities), and be consistent with other internationally agreed development goals (such as the MDGs). The CPF represents a milestone in the decentralization of FAO, and lays the basis for a more int egrated and “bottom-up” approach to FAO Programming at country level. Being formulated in close collaboration with the government, the process by which the CPF was produced has established a formal dialogue, created ownership, and instilled a shared agenda for work over the next five years. In turn, this coherence-in defining investment and support needs-invites support from Development Partners. This document is a revised version of the first FAO CPF for Bangladesh which was formulated in 2010- 11. The document is structured as follows. Section I introduces, while Section II provides context and current situation related to agriculture and food security in Bangladesh. Section III explores FAO’s relative strengths in the country and relates these to the new FAO Strategic Framework and regional priorities. Section IV identifies the main development challenges and priorities that were articulated during the stakeholder consultations, followed by the outline of the new CPF Country Priority Areas. Finally, Section V describes how these priority areas are to be funded, implemented, monitored and evaluated.
