No results found.In 2015, world leaders adopted two important global initiatives to support sustainable development and international cooperation: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2030 Agenda), with its 17 universal and global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (Addis Agenda). In agriculture, as in other sectors, the SDGs represent a broad, ambitious, and multidimensional programme of action. They place new demands on governments in all countries to improve coordination with global partners and with other sectors of society to deliver more effective policies and programmes , cutting across sectors and responding to complex economic, social, and environmental challenges. In order to address these growing demands, the project focused on rectifying the critical challenges of agriculture data scarcity, high costs, inaccessibility, low quality, low disaggregation, and low comparability that have long impeded effective agricultural programming and policy. -
Book (stand-alone)Comprehensive assessment of national agricultural research and extension systems with a special focus on agricultural research for development in Egypt
Analysis and guidelines - Egypt case study
2022Also available in:
No results found.This case study was conducted to provide a good understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to Egypt’s agricultural research and organizational development to draw lessons and develop supporting guidelines. This study aimed to enhance efforts exerted by Egypt’s NARS in the field of developmental research by formulating an integrated and coherent approach for research and dissemination of proven technologies and practices. Such approaches are expected to address key bottlenecks and provide the needed direction and means for sustainable improved implementation of AR4D. This can ultimately lead to enhancing and empowering the capacity of Egypt’s NARS to better inform and influence policies and facilitate institutional changes required in the agricultural sector. As part of the efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support and strengthen NARS’ research impact and their links to extension service systems, the present assessment was carried out to establish a deeper insight into challenges and opportunities that are facing NARS in Egypt.
