Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Integration of climate resilience in agricultural and pastoral production for food security in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school approach”
Project Code: GCP/NER/043/LDF GEF ID: 4702
2021Also available in:
No results found.This is the final evaluation report of a project that aimed to strengthen the agricultural and pastoral sectors’ climate change adaptation (CCA) capacities in the Niger. The project reached 21 142 direct beneficiaries (or 106 percent of the target), including 51 percent women. However, the project experienced shortcomings in terms of its management (from start-up to mid-term), its third expected result (integration of CCA into development policies and plans) and its mobilization/accounting of co-financing partners. The expected third result will be continued under the agro-pastoral field school-community listeners’ clubs (AFPS-CLC) component of the Climate-Smart Agriculture Support Project (PASEC). Despite project achievements, the evaluation concludes FAO must nevertheless improve certain project management and mobilization of co-financing mechanisms, strengthen the capacities of partners based on their needs-analysis, and recommends developing a long-term partnership with farmer organizations to strengthen their extension and advisory support capacities. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileStatus of the World's Soil Resources: Main Report 2015
Also available in:
No results found.The SWSR is a reference document on the status of global soil resources that provides regional assessments of soil change. The information is based on peer-reviewed scientific literature, complemented with expert knowledge and project outputs. It provides a description and a ranking of ten major soil threats that endanger ecosystem functions, goods and services globally and in each region separately. Additionally, it describes direct and indirect pressures on soils and ways and means to combat s oil degradation. The report contains a Synthesis report for policy makers that summarizes its findings, conclusions and recommendations.The full report has been divided into sections and individual chapters for ease of downloading:

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntegrated management of the Fall Armyworm on maize
A guide for Farmer Field Schools in Afica
2018Also available in:
Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) – FAW, a dangerous transboundary pest native to the Americas, has been spreading rapidly to all sub-regions of Africa since 2016, causing significant yield losses to crops. Farmer education and community action are critical elements in the strategy to best manage FAW populations, using an integrated and ecological pest management approach. Farmer Field School (FFS), a holistic farmer education approach used in over 90 countries, will be a key component of the response effort. This guide seeks to provide guidance on how to conduct FFS on the integrated and sustainable management of the FAW in Africa, with emphasis on maize as FAW’s preferred host plant. It provides information on the biology and ecology of FAW; field studies and exercises for use in season-long FFS; and suggestions on how to build a training programme for rural advisory services/extension on FAW and FFS refresher courses of Master Trainers and Facilitators. -

Quick user's guide
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Climate Risk Toolbox (CRTB) was developed to support climate-resilient project design. The tool is an open-access resource, hosted on the Hand-in-Hand Geospatial platform, allowing users to obtain a climate risk screening in a few simple steps. A key element in sustainable and transformative development in agriculture is ensuring that investments are designed with robust evidence about both past and future climate variability, seasonality, and extremes. Climate risk screening ensures that the linkages between hydrological, meteorological, and climatological hazards and impacts on agricultural systems are fully understood well in advance to strengthen project formulation and implementation. The CRTB simplifies climate risk screenings. It can be used by development practitioners for high-level screening at an early stage of planning processes or project design. This guide provides a quick overview of the tool to promote it and support its mainstreaming.
