DocumentOther documentAn Application to the Santa Catarina Rural Competitiveness Project in Brazil: Ex-Act Software for Carbon-Balance Analysis of Investment Projects
Applied Work: EASYPol Module 110
2010Also available in:
No results found.This module presents a case study of Carbon-Balance Appraisal for an investment project. It is useful for people who wish to improve their skills on how to estimate climate change mitigation potential of agricultural programmes/projects and to integrate it into the economic analysis of projects. It is part of a set of documents aimed at providing support to project developers in the process of learning and applying the EX-Ante Carbon balance Tool (EX-ACT). Specifically, this case study has been developed as a result of the application of EX-ACT to a FAO/WB Project in Brazil, which was also selected to test the software. The case study consists of: a brief description of the project and the EX-ACT analysis of the project with a discussion of the results. -

DocumentOther documentFirst Results of Carbon Balance Appraisal on the Agriculture Rehabilitation and Recovery Support Project (ARRSP) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Ex-Act Software for Carbon-Balance Analysis of Investment Projects
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 120
2012Also available in:
No results found.The ARRSP will help to achieve the long-term objective of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) within the World Bank’s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS). The project’s objective is to increase agricultural productivity and improve marketing of crops and animal products by smallholder farmers in targeted areas. Project activities will contribute to this objective by providing seed, planting materials and advisory services, improving rice production, ani mal production capacity and marketing infrastructure and supporting the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Rural Development in the DRC.

Book (stand-alone)Manual / guideGuide to context analysis informing FAO decision-making
Approaches to working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
2019In 2018 FAO approved its Corporate Framework to Support Sustainable Peace in the Context of Agenda 2030, committing FAO to a more deliberate and transformative impact on sustaining peace, within the scope of its mandate. The foundational element for FAO supported interventions to - at a minimum - do no harm, or to identify where they may contribute to sustaining peace, is to understand contextual dynamics and how they could interact with a proposed intervention. This is essential to effective conflict-sensitive programming. The Guide to Context Analysis is a key step in operationalising this, being an accessible and practical learning tool for non-conflict specialists in FAO decentralised offices to document and institutionalise their knowledge of the local context, and thus inform conflict-sensitive design of FAO interventions. The wider objective is to minimise the risk of any negative or harmful impacts, as well as maximise any positive contributions towards strengthening and consolidating conditions for sustainable local peace. The Guide to Context Analysis is sufficiently flexible to suit a variety of potential audiences or reporting formats, including a rapid context analysis for a specific project, an area-based intervention, joint programming with other UN agencies, as well as a standalone strategic analysis to inform decentralised office planning. The Guide can be read both a standalone instructional aid on context analysis, as well as an essential precursor to FAO’s Programme Clinic approach to design conflict-sensitive interventions (comprising both a facilitators’ and participants’ guides). -
Book (series)Working paperMap Accuracy Assessment and Area Estimation: A Practical Guide 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Accurate and consistent information on forest area and forest area change is important given the reporting requirements for countries to access results based payments for REDD+ . Forest area change estimates usually provide data on the extent of human activity resulting in emissions (e.g. from deforestation) or removals (e.g. from afforestation), also called activity data (AD). A basic methodological approach to estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals (IPCC, 2003), is to multiply AD with a coefficient that quantifies emissions per unit ‘activity’ (e.g. tCO2e per ha), also called an emission factor (EF). -
