Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Community-based Sustainable Dryland Forest Management"
Project code: GCP/GAM/031/GFF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the key findings, conclusions and recommendations of the terminal evaluation of the “Community-based Dryland Sustainable Forest Management Project” (GCP/GAM/031/GFF) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The evaluation found that the project was, generally, satisfactorily implemented to achieve its objective to “reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the Gambia through the strengthening and expansion of community-forestry and implementation of sustainable forest management practices”. However, implementation faced many challenges/constraints including the death of the first Project Coordinator, the advent of COVID-19, and procurement and administrative delays which necessitated a no-cost extension of the project. The project has been satisfactorily implemented with positive outcomes, such as improved forest management and entrepreneurship knowledge and skills development of target communities for improved livelihoods. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Community-Based Management of Dryland Forests in the Gambia - GCP/GAM/031/GFF 2023
Also available in:
No results found.One of the major environmental problems faced by the Gambia is the degradation and destruction of its forests, mainly the dryland forests in the northern part of the country, The underlying driver is the increasing population pressure and lack of adequate socio-economic/livelihood opportunities. Dryland forests in the country play a pivotal role in halting desertification. Although the forest sector in the Gambia is reported to contribute to about only 1.2 percent of the national gross domestic product (GDP), from a socio-economic perspective, it holds great significance to rural livelihoods. Dryland forest ecosystems provide supporting, regulating and provisioning services. The regulating and supporting services are significant in a larger context, agricultural and livestock production account for nearly 30 percent of GDP and employ more than 70 percent of the labourforce. Strong and healthy ecosystem services are therefore important for continued progress in sustainable agricultural and livestock production in the country. Although several initiatives/ programmeshave been implemented to address this situation, there are still barriers to dealing with the issue effectively. The objective of this project was to reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the country through the strengthening and expansion of community-forestry and the implementation of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) practices. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

Gestion durable des forêts et de la faune sauvage en Afrique : améliorer les valeurs, les avantages et les services
2016Also available in:
This edition contains 23 succinct articles addressing issues, challenges and opportunities in Africa's diverse ecological zones including, for example, the activities and preliminary results of the Great Green Wall of the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative and those in the rich tropical rainforests and swamps. Each article communicates in its own way and with differing emphasis the many facets of management of forests and wildlife in Africa, and how they can enhance the value, benefits and services they provide. And do not miss the lesson in communication, learned from Central Africa on brand identification of projects and programmes shared by the “Bushmeat Project”.
