ProjectClimate-Smart Agriculture to Enhance Crop and Livestock Production In Egypt - UTF/EGY/035/EGY 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Despite substantial government investments in agriculture infrastructure, Egyptian farmers have been unable to reap the benefits as a result of their limited farming skills. Living conditions have also been negatively affected by climate change and the inability of farmers to adopt new farming systems that are both suitable and productive. Practical and innovative guidance was needed to enhance water management, soil fertility, plant protection, crop diversification, animal welfare, crop yields, livestock production and post-harvest added value. In response to this situation, IFAD approved a loan to allow the government to provide assistance to small farmers through the “Sustainable Agriculture Investments and Livelihoods (SAIL)” project. The SAIL project aims to reduce poverty and increase food and nutrition security for poor rural women and men in the New Lands by enhancing agriculture development and diversification. As part of the SAIL project, FAO was requested to provide technical assistance to establish 172 farmer field schools (FFS). -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Climate-smart Livestock Production and Land Restoration in the Uruguayan Rangelands”
Project code: GCP/URU/034/GFF - GEF ID: 9153
2024Also available in:
The project “Climate-smart livestock production and land restoration in the Uruguayan rangelands” was financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and executed by Uruguay’s Ministry of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (MGAP) between February 2018 and September 2023. Its objective was to “mitigate climate change and restore degraded lands through the promotion of climate-smart practices in the livestock sector, with an emphasis on family farming”.The evaluation findings indicate that the project's execution led to the attainment of outputs and outcomes which contributed to the stated objective. Specifically, results demonstrated the feasibility of establishing environmentally sustainable livestock production systems without compromising productivity or economic viability, as validated by beneficiaries. Furthermore, the project introduced public policy instruments to facilitate the replication and scalability of this successful model, offering an institutional framework for wider adoption. -

Stakeholder Engagement Plan
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO projects in Southern Iraq, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), aim to improve water productivity, food security, and climate resilience for rural households. The GAC project ($7.3 million) focuses on empowering women through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and installing solar panels to enhance irrigation. The SIDA project ($10.2 million) promotes CSA, post-harvest improvements, and policy dialogue on water efficiency. Both initiatives align with the Green Climate Fund’s efforts to strengthen climate resilience in Iraq's agricultural sector.
