Also available in:
No results found.This Marketing Report presents the results of FAO’s Multi-Partner Programme Support Mechanism (FMM) achievements from 2014 to 2017. It demonstrates clearly that the FMM contributed to the Organization’s successful delivery of tangible results in countries and brought about other important benefits in terms of innovation, catalytic effects and stimulation of cross-sectoral work. The Report further highlights how FAO, through the FMM, has successfully leveraged its capabilities, both at a global and country level. The flexible funding mechanism of the FMM has proven to be a catalytic force in addressing critical funding gaps, forging new partnerships, testing and scaling up innovative areas of work and designing bigger and more impactful initiatives. The results presented here not only highlight the benefits of FAO’s global normative work and knowledge products, but also the relevance of the FMM to empowering a large number of smallholders, especially rural women and youth, enhancing resilience to climate shocks, generating farm and off-farm incomes and meeting livelihood needs. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookYouth in motion for climate action!
A compilation of youth initiatives in agriculture to address the impacts of climate change
2019This publication highlights various access points for projects and initiatives that engage and mobilize young people. It focuses on climate-resilient capacity development, agricultural education, and entrepreneurial guidance to promote decent rural employment in agriculture, and platforms that create alliances and networks for stimulating climate action and exchanging information. It presents activities that have successfully reached youth. These activities include competitions, such as 'hackathons' and flagship educational products that support everyday climate action. The projects and initiatives presented here also emphasize the key role partnerships among governments, the private sector, other international organizations and local cooperatives play in achieving successful outcomes. This publication is a compilation of ten successful youth-focused or youth-led initiatives in agriculture that address the impacts of climate change. The highlighted initiatives can serve as a promotional tool for youth networks, practitioners and programme managers who are interested in supporting youth in the agriculture sectors under a changing climate. The case studies are organized under five themes: E-agriculture, innovation and technology; youth employment; capacity development; entrepreneurship; and Alliances and Networks. For each theme one FAOled initiative and one non-FAO initiative is showcased to provide a broad picture of the activities being implemented around the world at various levels. FAO and other institutions believe that partnerships and collaboration on youth-focused projects, programmes and initiatives produce stronger results on the ground. This publication highlights these multi-organizational, collaborative efforts.
