ProjectTechnical Assistance for Developing a Digital Mapping System of the Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) - TCP/PHI/3806 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Hunger, malnutrition, and poverty are key concerns in the Philippines. To address these issues, the Government of the Philippines created the Enhanced Partnership Against Hunger and Poverty (EPAHP) with 11 government agencies to support the goals of the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition (PPAN) 2017-2022. Under the EPAHP Convergence Program, these agencies sought to improve the provision of food to impoverished and malnourished school children through their flagship Feeding Program. However, unreliable food sources and unstable food availability often hindered the operation of its feeding centres. In this regard, the EPAHP lead agency, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), requested support from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to improve the program’s operational processes through a web-based digital mapping system (DMS). Normally, national government agencies and local government units engage community-based organizations (CBOs), including farmers and cooperatives, to secure food for their local feeding centres. However, before this project, EPAHP partners did not have a standardized process for accrediting CBOs, nor a system for mapping and registering these entities. Although the DSWD already utilized a guide for targeting possible suppliers – the Community Participation Procurement Manual (CPPM) – stakeholders believed that a digital database would be more effective, especially in assisting feeding centres to locate and contact CBOs for immediate needs. -

ProjectEnhancing Sustainable, Productive and Climate-Change Resilient Agricultural and Rural Systems of Urmia Lake Basin - GCP/IRA/066/JPN 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing a severe escalation of water scarcity, due to key drivers such as demographic growth, the tendency to increase food self-sufficiency, urbanization expansion, energy demand, and overall socio-economic development. This is further compounded by the negative impacts of climate change and the considerable degradation of water quality. In this context, Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), a vast hypersaline lake in the northwest of the country, has faced intense pressures over the last three decades and is in a state of ecological crisis, with major impacts on its biodiversity and socio-economic conditions. Since 2013, the Government has made an intensive and comprehensive effort to restore Urmia Lake; however, the condition of the lake was still critical and more support was required. Against this background, this project, funded by the Government of Japan, aimed to contribute to more sustainable, productive and climate-resilient agricultural and rural systems, with a positive impact on the environment and on the water balance (inflow-outflow) of Urmia Lake.
