Book (stand-alone)High-profileДобровольные руководящие принципы национального мониторинга лесов 2017Задача, поставленная при выработке Добровольных руководящих принципов, заключается в оказании поддержки странам в организации и обеспечении функционирования НСМЛ путем предоставления им набора принципов положительной практики, рекомендаций и общей рамочной основы, а также механизмов поддержки директивных решений по вопросам планирования и реализации многоцелевой национальной НСМЛ, основанной на отвечающей национальным потребностям и научно обоснованной практике и учитывающей национальные потребн ости в информации и требования отчетности. Руководящие принципы призваны служить техническим руководством для органов государственного управления, отвечающих за мониторинг лесов, образовательных и научных учреждений, субъектов государственного и частного секторов, а также общественных организаций, интересующихся вопросами национального мониторинга лесов (НМЛ). Важно учитывать, что в разных странах существуют разные биофизические условия (например: типы лесов и практики лесопользования, дорожная инфраструктура), институциональные структуры, проблемы и возможности в сфере экономики, системы управления лесами и нормы лесопользования (история развития системы управления лесными ресурсами и услугами, научно-исследовательская и просветительская работа, традиционные подходы к мониторингу лесов) и пр. Это означает, что не существует универсальной, типовой схемы организации НМЛ. Наоборот, для обеспечения эффективности мониторинга следует комплексно использовать различные целесообразные и технич ески и организационно обоснованные методы. Подход к НМЛ должен быть целенаправленным, служить реализации конкретных и реалистических задач, выполнимых за определенные сроки и за счет выделенных финансовых и человеческих ресурсов.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookEmpowering youth to engage in responsible investment in agriculture and food systems
Challenges, opportunities and lessons learned from six African countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Uganda)
2019Engaging young women and men in an agricultural sector characterized by an ageing labour force is crucial to ensure sustainable food security, reduce youth unemployment and combat unplanned migration. By harnessing their innovative potential, utilizing new technologies and techniques and taking advantage of new opportunities in emerging value chains, young agri-entrepreneurs could create thriving businesses and tackle the challenge of feeding a growing population. However, youth are often unable to carry out the investments needed to ensure that their own farming or processing activities can be successfully launched or expanded. Conversely, neither may they be able to benefit from opportunities in agricultural supply chains provided by larger-scale investors. This report aims to enhance understanding on the main challenges and opportunities to empower youth to carry out and benefit from responsible agricultural investment by giving voice to those most concerned – young farmers, agri-entrepreneurs and workers, and those who support them. It summarizes the main findings from a series of multi-stakeholder capacity assessment workshops with participants from six countries – Côte d’Ivoire, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Uganda. -
BookletCorporate general interestThe United Republic of Tanzania Resilience Strategy 2019–2022 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is the backbone of the economy in the United Republic of Tanzania. The sector contributes to about 30 percent of the gross domestic product, while supporting about 80 percent of rural livelihoods and producing about 95 percent of the country’s food requirements. However, small-scale production, which engages the majority of farmers and pastoralists, is vulnerable to natural as well as human-induced crises, which undermine their coping and adaptive capacity and wellbeing. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a four-year strategy with the objective of enhancing the resilience of agriculture-based livelihoods and local food systems, thus improving food security and nutrition. This will be achieved through a combination of protection, prevention and disaster risk reduction measures that address the root causes of vulnerability, as well as meet the immediate needs of people affected by shocks and crises. The Strategy is fully aligned with the FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF, 2017–2020), which itself aligns with the Government’s priorities and sectoral strategies, as well as with the United Nations Development Assistance Plan (2016–2021). The main planned outcomes of the Strategy include: • evidence-based and risk-informed policies, strategies and plans promoting resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises supported • early warning and risk-informed systems for potential, known and emerging threats established and strengthened • protection, prevention and mitigation of impacts of crisis and disaster risks on communities and households supported and strengthened • improved preparedness for and response to crises and disasters through effective coordination -
