ProjectImplementing the Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) Programme in India - TCP/IND/3605 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Given the predominant position of agriculture in terms of its contribution to the livelihoods of the people, the agriculture sector’s policy framework has serious implications for the Indian economy An enabling policy environment is a prerequisite for promoting agricultural development, ensuring food security, and reducing and ultimately eliminating poverty In this context, the project was designed adequately, with a focus on three major policy aspects on food and agriculture across six pilot states However, significant delays at the outset of the project (see below) reduced the implementation timeframe to approximately three months, and the entire range of outputs and activities envisaged and planned could not be carried out Given the reduced timeframe available, the project focused on addressing part of Output 6 “National capacity to articulate and assess national agricultural policy reform options strengthened in Governments and/or in partner institutions in India” As a result, two intermediate technical reports were produced a National Agriculture Price Policy (National Agriculture Market e NAM) for selected Agriculture Produce Market Committees ( in Haryana and Odisha, and a National Food Security Policy (National Food Security Act NFSA PDS) for selected districts in Chhattisgarh and Bihar. -
ProjectStrengthening Myanmar’s National Forest Monitoring Capacities - TCP/MYA/3501 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Forests are of critical importance to Myanmar’s rural economy and forest-dependent communities. Rural poverty, overharvesting and shifting cultivation have been threatening the implementation of sustainable forest management (SFM), and there has been an alarming rate of forest cover loss in the country in recent decades. SFM is largely dependent on the availability of reliable and up-to-date information on the extent and quality of forests, based on periodic monitoring. Against this background, it was necessary to greatly improve capacities to collect, analyse and report forest-related data, and to establish centralized data storage and a sharing mechanism. The project was implemented in synergy with other related projects, of which the most relevant one was the United Nations Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD). -
Book (stand-alone)Strengthening National Forest Monitoring Systems for REDD+ 2018
Also available in:
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has been providing support to member countries on national forest monitoring for decades. Best practices and lessons learned from this support are summarized in FAO´s Voluntary guidelines on national forest monitoring (VGNFM). The guidelines provide principles, elements and best practices for the establishment and implementation of a multipurpose National Forest Monitoring System (NFMS). The aim of this paper is to strengthen the elements and guidelines provided in the VGNFM in the context of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). It also includes a deeper analysis of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change decisions and the most recent methodological recommendations provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, focusing on the three pillars of an NFMS for REDD+: a Satellite Land Monitoring System, a National Forest Inventory, and REDD+ reporting, including the combination of remote-sensing and ground-based forest inventory to estimate anthropogenic forest related Greenhouse Gas emissions by sources and removals by sinks.
