Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Animal Production and Health Commission for Asia and the Pacific (APHCA) was initiated by Asian nations at the Fifth FAO Regional Conference on Animal Production in 1974. APHCA’s mission is to enhance levels of nutrition and standards of living of livestock keepers, livestock producers and livestock value-chain actors through equitable, sustainable and safe livestock-sector development. Furthermore, APHCA supports sustainable improvement in rural livestock, agriculture and resource use through information sharing and capacity development for members. Some of the most important areas addressed by APHCA relate to the development of climate-smart livestock, dairy production, animal feeding, transboundary animal and zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance. APHCA has also been instrumental in the establishment of Dairy Asia.

    La Commission de la production et de la santé animales pour l’Asie et le Pacifique (la Commission) a été créée à l’initiative de pays asiatiques à la cinquième Conférence régionale de la FAO sur la production et la santé animales, en 1971. La mission de la Commission consiste à améliorer la situation nutritionnelle et les conditions de vie des éleveurs et des acteurs de la filière en favorisant le développement d’un secteur de l’élevage équitable, durable et sans danger. En outre, la Commission contribue à l’amélioration durable de l’élevage, de l’agriculture et de l’utilisation des ressources en milieu rural grâce au partage d’informations et au renforcement des capacités des membres. Parmi les domaines les plus importants abordés actuellement par la Commission figurent le développement de l’élevage climato-intelligent, la production laitière, l’alimentation animale, les maladies animales et zoonotiques transfrontières, l’approche «Une seule santé» et la résistance aux antimicrobiens. La Commission a joué un rôle prépondérant dans la création de Dairy Asia, un réseau laitier pour l’Asie.

    Contribution à l’augmentation de la productivité animale à travers l’amélioraton de l’alimentation du bétail auprès des ménages - TCP/BDI/3601 2020

    L’élevage est l’un des secteurs clés de l’économie au Burundi: il contribue à la hauteur de 14 pour cent au Produit intérieur brut (PIB) et de 29 pour cent au PIB agricole. Toutefois, les performances zootechniques restent faibles par rapport au potentiel génétique des animaux élevés, notamment en raison de l’insuffisance alimentaire chronique du bétail, tant sur le plan quantitatif que qualitatif. Le projet visait à identifier les ressources disponibles dans trois zones pilotes (Bururi, Gitega et Ngozi) ainsi que les moyens de les valoriser en renforçant les capacités des acteurs par le biais de formations, de dotations en unités de fabrication d’aliments pour bétail et de l’intensification de la production fourragère.

    Doctors Global Programme – A farmer-to-farmer training programme
    2020
    Also available in:
    The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the Global Soil Partnership and promotes the establishment of a farmer-to-farmer training system. The Soil Doctors Global Programme aims to build the capacity of smallholder farmers on the practice of sustainable soil management and, by doing so, support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at the field level (promoting broader impact and a reduction of costs). Trainings will also rely on the establishment of demonstration farms and experimental fields by the Soil Doctors, which might attract the interest of research institutes and universities involved in the programme. The programme also aims to educate farmers on soil science principles for practices of sustainable soil management and aims to achieve this by providing them with a set of tools composed of some educational materials and a soil testing methods (STM) manual for preliminary soil analysis. The STM is a collection of locally relevant, and easy to use, soil analyses procedures that would be selected by each area where the program is implemented.

    FAO’s Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) is one of the mechanisms to respond to countries’ most pressing needs for technical assistance and effectively pursue the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2019 Report of the Technical Cooperation Programme introduces a new series of annual reports that provide FAO Members, governments, donors, beneficiaries and other stakeholders with evidence of the impact of the work carried out by FAO through the TCP. Prepared by the Outreach, Marketing and Reporting Unit (PSRR), in close collaboration with the TCP Coordination Unit in the Office of the Assistant Director-General (ADG-PS), the first in the series presents and assesses the achievements and catalytic role of TCP-funded projects. Based on a review of the TCP projects operationally closed during 2018 and interviews with lead technical officers, technical officers at FAO headquarters, budget holders and FAO country representatives, the report provides details on the characteristics, typical interventions and results of the programme, and features a select number of in-depth stories to highlight the tangible and lasting results of the programme’s catalytic work.
