ProjectSupporting Developing Countries to Integrate their Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans - UNFA/GLO/616/UND 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The project successfully fostered climate change adaptation informed planning and budgeting in the agriculture sectors in the 11 target countries. This was achieved by strengthening the capacities of around 5 200 national and sectoral decision makers, representing over 120 institutions across the target countries, in identifying and appraising adaptation options, using tools such as multicriteria assessment, Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), impact evaluation, and vulnerability and risk assessment, to facilitate evidence based decision making in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) process. Strategic capacities to advance adaptation planning and implementation were also reinforced, including on gender mainstreaming, climate finance, mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation of adaptation. In this context, a significant number of guidance materials were developed for policy makers and practitioners, related to different aspects of adaptation planning in agriculture. The project also helped countries to create collaborations with ongoing projects, and unlock innovative sources of climate finance that could support adaptation in their agriculture sectors. In addition, many partnerships and alliances were built with global research organizations, regional expert centres, national universities and civil society organizations. -
ProjectStrengthen Capacities to Implement the Adaptive National Agriculture Policy Interventions - TCP/SRL/3804 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The agricultural sector in Sri Lanka experiences numerous challenges, including overreliance on food imports, insufficient investment, and external shocks from climate change and global trade trends. Moreover, improper crop production planning and agricultural management have led to both excess yields and deficits, destabilizing domestic food and nutrition security and affecting economic opportunities. To address these concerns, the Government of Sri Lanka drafted its comprehensive National Agricultural Policy in 2018, with the technical assistance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) under a previous project (TCP/SRL/3601/C1). However, due to consecutive changes in government structure, the policy has not been adequately integrated into annual National Agriculture Development Programmes, impeding national goals of becoming self sufficient and globally competitive. To achieve these objectives, the Ministry of Agriculture seeks to bridge the gap between policy formulation and implementation. In this regard, the Ministry requested technical assistance from FAO to build the capacities of government stakeholders to apply the strategies outlined in the country’s agricultural policies, focusing on bolstering local food production and enhancing market led enterprise development. -
ProjectUpdating the Sustainable Agricultural Development Strategy 2030 and Preparing a Medium-Term Plan of Action - TCP/EGY/3701 2021

No results found.There is broad consensus in Egypt that, despite its achievements, the Sustainable Agricultural Development Strategy ( 2030 needs to be reviewed in a number of areas As an agricultural and rural development strategy aiming to address existing and future challenges, there is a need for the SADS to go beyond a sectoral scope, as interlinkages between agriculture, water, land use, climate change, agro industry, input supply, food security and nutrition are key to determining the outcomes of the overall development process The environment, in particular water, land and climate change, is a sector closely considered within the SADS 2030 The recently developed National Water Resource Plan for Egypt provides an opportunity to endow the SADS 2030 with a well rounded vision and to assesses agricultural development needs with water management provisions In addition, it was agreed that linking agricultural and value chain development might provide a framework for developing more resilient agriculture and rural non farm sectors able to generate better jobs, reduce rural poverty and vulnerability and enhance food security At the outset of the project, specific focus was needed upon the favouring the participation of smallholders in modern value chains, ensuring a smooth exit out of the agricultural sector and employment opportunities in other sectors primarily agrifood processing and distribution for those unable to continue working in agriculture.
