ProjectFactsheetAccelerating Inclusive Agricultural Transformation through Agricultural Policy Monitoring and Evidence-Based Reform - MTF/GLO/543/BMG 2022
Also available in:
No results found.An enabling policy environment is a key condition for agricultural development, food security and broader poverty reduction. Despite this, government policy analysts and decision makers in developing countries often lack the capacity to generate reliable and economically robust ex post evidence on, and ex ante assessments of, the impact of their policies on farmers, other local value chain actors, consumers and the wider economy. As a result, agricultural policies are often incoherent and inconsistent with the overarching agricultural sector goals stated in national strategies and investment plans. FAO has been implementing Phase I of the initiative Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP I) since 2009. In that time, it has successfully worked with national government policy analysts and policy makers to create policy monitoring systems and a consistent set of policy and public expenditure analyses across a wide range of agricultural value chains in ten countries. Having identified and assessed in the first phase of the initiative some of the key policy constraints affecting agricultural producers, MAFAP II was designed to carry the process forward, while also supporting governments to develop options for reforming problematic policies, with a view to further incentivizing and serving value chain actors, in particular smallholder farmers. -

No results found.The project has helped to improve partnerships between national statistics offices, ministries of agriculture, and other stakeholders with expertise in the relevant new technologies, including GIS experts and departments in other ministries, academic institutions, and international and regional organizations. The project has complemented other projects and programmes involved in building capacity regarding the SDG indicators through the use of the cost-effective methods introduced. Integrating Big Data with traditional survey and census data has also enabled users to analyse and monitor, inter alia, the impact of natural disasters on different types of farmers and the effects of climate change on female-headed agriculture households. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureEnhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development - Output 1 2023
Also available in:
No results found.FAO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture in Jordan, and in partnership with IFAD and WFP, launched the project entitled “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”. This project is funded by the European Union, through the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian crisis, the EU Madad Fund. The project addresses the reduced livelihood and food security levels in Jordan resulting from the crisis in Syria. It offers to tackle its negative impact on both refugees from Syria and host communities through support to the agriculture sector. This will be done by improving the agricultural productivity and farmers’ incomes, in addition to creating job opportunities for both host communities and displaced Syrians. The project will also promote social protection mechanisms for the benefit of the host farming community. The project also aims at creating adequate agriculture production support systems for vulnerable smallholders that support good agriculture practices and timely response to shocks and rehabilitate the capacity of the agriculture extension systems to be able to respond to the increasing demand for support due to the impact of the Syrian crisis. In addition, the project will support vulnerable smallholders and small family-based agri-food enterprises to increase the productivity and financial feasibility. The brochure will ensure the visibility of FAO and the partners, including the donor. It will provide information on the project and output 1.
