Synopsis (short abstract) In 2015 a sheep pox outbreak spread through the eastern region of Mongolia. At the same time an extremely harsh winter in 2015 and 2016 killed 56 million livestock and left those that survived vulnerable to contracting sheep pox. Interventions to control the outbreak were made, but because of a vaccine shortage sheep pox continued to spread throughout the country. This project was implemented to provide an emergency response to control the sheep pox outbreak through providing emergency vaccinations to livestock and promoting disease control and awareness raising.

    From 2015 to 2016 the El Niño weather phenomenon caused severe drought in Zimbabwe and impacted the country's agricultural season. A decline in cereal and livestock production resulted from the extremely dry weather, especially in Manicaland province, which was one of the hardest hit areas. About 24 700 cattle died throughout the country, and Manicaland recorded the highest numbers. This project was implemented to improve the access to water, animal feed and small grain seed for 6 500 vulnerable households impacted by the drought, thereby improving their livelihoods and food security.

    In August 2012, the Government of Tajikistan approved the Agriculture Reform Programme (ARP) 2012 2020 with a view to supporting agricultural reform in the country, thereby driving plans and policies to reduce poverty, strengthening the livelihoods of rural populations and improving donor coordination. The reform was to be achieved across all agrarian sectors, including agriculture, land, water, agriculture financing and agriculture related governance, with the goal of enhancing private sector development and reducing the dependence of farmers upon state institutions. Given the consensus among Tajikistan’s development partners that the ARP has not been entirely successful on the ground, the present aimed to strengthen the agriculture reform agenda through support to restructuring of the MoA and other government institutions, as well as policy support, capacity building, training and technical assistance. Specifically, the project aimed to develop the technical and analytical capacities of staff in selected government departments, helping to design environmentally sustainable and gender sensitive agriculture policies, implement cost effective disease monitoring and control strategies, develop communication of new policies and regulations within all levels of government and adopting results based monitoring in the field, among other elements.
