Synopsis (short abstract) The Government of the People’s Republic of China is the major participant, contributor and promoter of South-South Cooperation (SSC), an FAO initiative to support the implementation of National and Regional Programmes for Food Security, under which a more developed country provides technical assistance to a developing country implementing a food security programme (host country). In 2008, the Government of the People’s Republic of China established an FAO Trust Fund for USD 30 million through the SSC Programme (Phase I). Under the SSC Trust Fund, the current project was launched in 2010, with the main objective of supporting FAO-China SSC programme implementation, coordination and management through the recruitment of staff, the provision of backstopping and support to the organization of capacity-building activities in the People’s Republic of China and other countries at global and regional levels, as well as the implementation of SSC projects in the host countries concerned.

    While the Democratic Republic of the Congo has immense agricultural potential, its population of 90 million faces one of the most serious food and nutrition crises in the world. As over 75 percent of rural families rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, ensuring access to inputs and new technologies is needed in order to enhance agricultural production and food security. The FAO-China South-South Cooperation (SSC) project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has provided technical assistance to enhance the agricultural production of nearly 2 260 households. Thirteen Chinese experts and technicians provided assistance on crop production, horticulture, livestock, aquaculture, agricultural machinery and plant protection. The project has helped households to meet their cereal and vegetable needs, increased farmers’ net incomes and taught local farmers new agricultural technologies. It has also promoted the use of the dry bed method and enhanced the efficiency of extension services. Given adequate resources, the technologies and varieties introduced through the FAO- China SSC Programme could be utilized on a much larger scale, reaching more beneficiaries throughout the country.
