Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Syrian Arab Republic 2012-2018 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The Syrian crisis has caused intense and sustained levels of violence in the country, which included large-scale destruction of agricultural infrastructure and disruption of all components of the food system. A total of 9.3 million people in the country are facing severe acute food insecurity. During the period subject to evaluation (2012-2018), FAO interventions targeted displaced and hosting households affected by the conflict across the country. Activities were initially carried out in Government controlled areas and subsequently conducted through cross-border operations as part of the Whole of Syria (WoS) approach.Despite adverse conditions, FAO staff were able to create a portfolio of context-relevant activities offering concrete opportunities for stable sources of income, as well as support relating to input distribution (seeds and tools), livelihoods, value chains and infrastructure rehabilitation. Coordination with the directorates of agriculture and civil society organisations, including Syrian NGOs and Water Users Associations, played an effective role in the delivery of assistance. However, the organisation’s emergency response could have been more effective by more properly considering the regional dimension of the crisis, improved targeting, and prioritization, including coordination of activities across agencies. FAO leadership should continue focusing on and restoring rural livelihoods while promoting good governance of the natural resources and environment, prioritising its technical advisory function. -

Evaluation Highlights - June 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to increase food availability for vulnerable households through improved smallholder production, build sustainable access to productive assets, income and food supply, and foster an enabling environment for resilience building and agriculture sector recovery. This is the first project of its kind for FAO Syrian Arab Republic, moving away from delivery of purely humanitarian support to implementation of more longer-term resilience building activities. It was an ambitious project combining humanitarian and resilience building activities. The operational context in which it was implemented was extremely challenging. FAO needs to consolidate its support to communities by selecting specific value chains and adopting an area-based approach in which multiple activities can be layered upon each other leading to more sustainable outcomes. In order to maintain its rightful leadership role of the Food Security Cluster, further investment is needed in coordination at the whole of the Syrian Arab Republic and hub levels. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then.

It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
