Book (stand-alone)Technical studyÉtat des lieux des stations hydrométéorologiques et des capacités techniques de trois directions générales de la République centrafricaine, 2024 2025
Also available in:
No results found.La République centrafricaine est particulièrement vulnérable aux risques naturels, notamment les inondations qui affectent gravement les régions centrales, septentrionales et nord-occidentales du pays. En réponse à ces défis, le Projet de réponse urgente à la crise alimentaire en centrafrique vise à renforcer la résilience du pays en améliorant la nutrition, l'accès aux services de base et les opportunités économiques dans les zones les plus touchées. La sous-composante 1.3 du projet se concentre spécifiquement sur le renforcement du système hydrométéorologique afin d'anticiper les inondations et de réagir plus rapidement aux crises alimentaires. L’évaluation réalisée a révélé que 79 pour cent des stations hydrométéorologiques sont non fonctionnelles et que les directions générales responsables souffrent d'un manque de personnel qualifié, de vieillissement des infrastructures et d'équipements inadaptés. Sur les 41 stations existantes, 25 ont été sélectionnées pour réhabilitation. Un programme complet de modernisation des infrastructures et de renforcement des capacités techniques des trois directions est essentiel pour établir un réseau fonctionnel et anticiper les crises à venir. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.
