ProjectFactsheetTechnical Support Towards Testing and Rolling Out the Food Security Pack Component of the Zambia Integrated Social Protection Information System - TCP/ZAM/3803 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Zambia’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure suffers from inadequacies and fragmentation. In recognition of these challenges, the country’s Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) emphasized the need to improve electronic service delivery for better connectivity and communication. Within this context, the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (MCDSS) sought to automate its Food Security Pack (FSP) Programme, which relied on inefficient and error-prone manual processes. These issues often led to high operational costs, inefficiencies in beneficiary targeting and enrolment, and problems in ensuring transparency and accountability. In 2017, the MCDSS requested assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to evaluate the impact of the FSP Programme and develop a Management Information System (MIS) for its automation. In order to efficiently implement both the FSP and the Social Cash Transfer (SCT), the Government initiated the development of the Zambia Integrated Social Protection Information System (ZISPIS) with technical support from FAO and the Smart Zambia Institute (SZI). While the SCT module within the ZISPIS was complete, the FSP module needed improvement. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportRapid assessment study: Towards integrated planning of irrigation and drainage in Egypt, in support of the Integrated Irrigation Improvement and Management Project (IIIMP)
Final Report 2005
2005Supporting capacity development for sustainable agricultural water management The International Programme for Technology and Research in Irrigation and Drainage (IPTRID) is a multi-donor trust fund managed by the IPTRID Secretariat as a Special Programme of FAO. The Secretariat is located in the Land and Water Development division of FAO and draws on a worldwide network of leading centres of excellence in the field of irrigation, drainage and water resources management. IPTRID aims to support ca pacity development for sustainable agricultural water management to reduce poverty enhance food security and improve livelihoods, while conserving the environment. IPTRID provides advisory services and technical assistance to governments and funding institutions to stimulate increased and more effective investment, assisting in the formulation and implementation of capacity development strategies and programmes. IPTRID was created in 1990 by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Prog ramme (UNDP) in collaboration with the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID). First located at the World Bank in Washington, the IPTRID Secretariat was transferred in 1998 to the FAO in Rome. IPTRID is developing partnership with an increasing number of funding institutions and governments. During the last ten years, it has been supported by more than 20 international organizations and government agencies and has cooperated with more than 60 partners in about 40 developing c ountries and countries in transition. The present programme is co-financed by FAO, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, the World Bank and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). -

Fish Culture Development
1990Also available in:
No results found.The analysis of farming systems gives a fuller picture of the complexity of factors influencing farming decisions and strategies. This appoach also helps identify the true potentials and constraints of the existing farming systems and consequently the development approaches which would be appropriate. Such an approach also enables more precise identification of target groups. The local examples of the farming systems approach illustrate these advantages. There are similar sources of information in most of Zambia's provinces and these sources should be used by those involved in the development of integrated fish-farming with small-scale farmers in the rural areas.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
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. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. 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.

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.
