Book (stand-alone)Evaluating the impacts of promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in Malawi
Baseline analysis and programmatic implications of a Farmer Field School approach
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” aims to support poor and vulnerable households to strengthen their resilience to climate change and climate variability through social protection (SP) and the adoption of proven climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices blended with disaster risk reduction (DRR). FAO Malawi leads the implementation of the project in two targeted districts of Mwanza and Neno, targeting 2 400 farmers, some of them being beneficiaries of existing SP programmes. At community level, the project is implemented through the farmer field school (FFS) approach and delivered through 80 FFS groups located in 74 villages. To evaluate impacts of the project, we use a crossover design to compare the relative merits of its different components and combine various evaluation methods. This is a baseline report on the “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” project. -
Book (stand-alone)Strengthening coherence between forestry and social protection for sustainable agrifood systems transformation
Framework for analysis and action
2023Also available in:
No results found.Approximately one-third of the world’s population depend on forests for their livelihoods. Forest-dependent people require social protection because they are often poor, geographically, politically and socially marginalized, and vulnerable to a variety of risks and shocks. Forestry and social protection programmes and policies share similar objectives of reducing vulnerability of forest-dependent people, enhancing economic inclusion and promoting sustainable development. Therefore, coherence, should be sought to ensure complementarity in objectives and coverage. FAO aims to promote linkages between social protection and agriculture, food security, nutrition, natural resource management, decent rural employment and resilience building. This document presents a guiding framework to assist mainly governments, development organizations and civil society organizations (CSOs) in attaining coherence between social protection and forest policies to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people. The framework guides the provision of knowledge and evidence on the vulnerabilities of forest-dependent people and analyses gaps in the provision of social protection to forest-dependent people; frames the rationale for promoting the coherence between forestry and social protection; and identifies the enabling environment and options to coherently design and implement forestry and social protection at the programme and operational levels. -
ProjectStrengthening Coherence Between Social Protection and Agriculture to Combat Food Insecurity and Rural Poverty - MTF/GLO/937/ULA 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Poverty, hunger and food insecurity are most heavily concentrated among rural dwellers. To address these problems, in recent years, countries have set up a number of social assistance programmes to help extreme poor households manage risk more effectively and protect their consumption and assets without having to resort to negative coping strategies in the face of a crisis. Cash transfers and other programmes have been implemented at scale; and it has been demonstrated that these programmes make a positive difference in the lives of the rural poor. At the same time, it has become increasingly evident that despite their positive contributions to shielding the poor from shocks and helping them avert destitution, social protection programmes by themselves are insufficient to fully unleash productive potential and help small farm and other poor rural households embark on self-sustaining livelihood pathways out of poverty. In the light of these issues, the project aimed to explore and document the benefits of articulating social protection and rural development interventions, in order to provide evidence to policy-makers and donors on better programme design, sequencing, and institutional design for supporting rural poor alleviation.
