MeetingMeeting documentPrivate Sector Assessment for the Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land and other Natural Resources 2010
Also available in:
No results found.FAO and its development partners are working together with countries to prepare Voluntary Guidelines that will provide practical guidance to states, the private sector, civil society, academia, donors and development specialists on the responsible governance of tenure. By setting out principles and internationally accepted standards for responsible practice and associated technical guidance, the Voluntary Guidelines will provide a framework and point of reference that stakeholders can use when developing their own policies and actions. For the private sector this includes principles that can be used in formulating policies for trade, investment, employment and supply chain management when developing land and natural resources in partnership with governments and local communities so that projects are mutually beneficial and reduce risks when operating in unfamiliar areas where there is a lack of clarity. They can be used in corporate social responsibility and environmental, social and governance policies to enable the private sector to address more effectively issues concerning land and natural resources. The consultations on the proposed Voluntary Guidelines are an important part of the process of exploring what they should contain and building the necessary consensus for their eventual implementation. They bring together representative, multidisciplinary groups to assess regional and sector priorities and issues that should be considered when the Voluntary Guidelines are drafted. The private sector consultation was held in London and organized, hosted and co-sponsored by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It was attended by 76 people from 22 countries, who brought a rich and extensive range of expertise derived from their experience in the private sector, the professions, public sector, civil society, research and academia in a wide range of countries and UN agencies. -

DocumentOther documentConsumer education for improved food security 2014
Also available in:
Recently the concept of Food Security evolved to “Food and Nutrition Security” to emphasize the importance of nutritional aspects of food security whereas in the past the focus for food security had been on the level of calories provided to populations. This has a noticeable importance for the fishery and aquaculture sector that provides substantial nutritional benefits (omega 3 fatty acids, high quality protein and essential amino acids, micronutrients important to human health – zinc, iodine, vitamins, etc.).

Études de cas sur le sorgho, le maïs, le niébé au Burkina Faso
2019Also available in:
No results found.Deux études ont été conduites au Burkina Faso pour une analyse approfondie des pertes après-récolte et de leurs causes le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement (CA) du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé. La première étude sur le terrain des pertes après-récolte a été conduite entre les mois d’octobre 2015 et d’avril 2016 dans trois régions du pays. Deux chaînes d’approvisionnement ont été sélectionnées par région: celle du commerce classique de céréales, et celle organisée autour des organisations faitières de producteurs. La réplication de cette étude s’est déroulée entre les mois de novembre 2016 et d’avril 2017 et a concerné les chaînes d’approvisionnement organisées autour de l’UGCPA dans la Boucle du Mouhoun pour le sorgho, de l’UPPA/Houet dans les Hauts Bassins pour le maïs, et de l’AFDR dans le Nord pour le niébé. L’objectif de l’étude est d’estimer les pertes qualitatives et quantitatives le long des chaînes d’approvisionnement du sorgho, du maïs et du niébé, de mettre en évidence les points critiques de pertes et d’identifier les principales causes des pertes. De plus, il s’agit d’identifier les solutions appropriées, réalisables et durables, les meilleures pratiques et les stratégies de réduction des pertes après-récolte. La réplication de la première étude vise à comparer les résultats obtenus sur deux années consécutives, à compléter les informations qui n’ont pas pu être collectées au cours de la première étude, et à essayer de mieux comprendre les différences éventuelles et les causes (occasionnelles et structurelles). -
