Synopsis (short abstract) This publication is the result of an initiative aimed at highlighting FAO’s comparative advantage on transition and determining a list of potential programme options for transition interventions. Transition interventions at FAO involve addressing post-crisis acute needs and simultaneously contributing to development processes in order to reduce vulnerability and exposure to risk and to strengthen resilience to food and agricultural threats and emergencies. Transition involves moving from life-sustaining activities to addressing institutional capacity, natural resource management, and productive asset imbalances to long-term entitlements and sustainability. Transition activities are long term, are conducted in partnership with governments and institutions, focus on a wide range of livelihood options, and build on local coping mechanisms. As a humanitarian and development agency, FAO has substantial programmatic presence in the full spectrum of interventions, from integ rated preparedness and rapid response in emergencies, through rehabilitation and development programmes. Therefore, the Organization has a comparative advantage in facilitating the complex process of transitions in the agricultural sectors.
