DocumentEvaluation reportProject Evaluation Report OSRO/LIR/903/SWE “Emergency assistance for the food production and income generation of 5 000 urban and peri-urban inhabitants vulnerable to soaring food prices in 5 counties” 2011
Also available in:
No results found.Project OSRO/LIR/903/SWE was funded by the Swedish Government and implemented between May 2009 and June 2010, with a budget of 522,229 USD, by the Emergency Rehabilitation and Coordination Unit of FAO in Monrovia. The FAO Emergency Operations Service (TCEO) in headquarters was the project budget holder and operating unit, the Seed and Plant Genetic Resources Service (AGPS) the Leading Technical Unit (LTU). The Agriculture Coordinator for Montserrado County was appointed as the focal person withi n the MoA to supervise the project’s implementation. Nine NGOs were engaged in the project’s implementation (both inputs distribution and training) in the original five targeted counties, while in Gbarpolu the project was jointly implemented by FAO, the MoA and the Ministry of Gender and Development (MoGD). In spite of the very limited time frame and budget of the project, it went far beyond emergency, especially by providing training to trainers (ToT) and farmers (ToF). While it is eventually p retentious to expect sustainability from giving hand-outs (seeds and watering cans) to communities, the training component achieved in fact sustained success among the beneficiaries. -

DocumentOther documentInternational Year of Forests 2011 – Celebrate forests every day 20112011 is a special year for forests and for all who care about them. To inaugurate it, FAO has created a special issue of Unasylva. More than 100 international days are celebrated throughout the year, in recognition of a vast range of issues, occupations, activities and cultural values important to humanity. What better way to demonstrate the myriad functions of forests than to show that forests have a link to almost all of them? The Unasylva Editor, Andrea Perlis, has compiled a collec tion of images that illustrate these links. With only photos and the briefest of stories, the issue expresses the theme of the international year – “Forests for people” – by showing how forests are important to nearly all kinds of human activity. So when you celebrate Peace Day in 2011 – or International Women’s Day, or Human Rights Day, or World Health Day– even International Civil Aviation Day – you can celebrate forests.
