No results found.The risk of disasters in agriculture is increasing as a resultof the growing exposure of people, their livelihoodsand assets, to extreme natural events and climate change.The unsustainable management of natural resourcesreduces the resilience of food systems even further,creating new risks and directly affecting food security.Countries have requested the support of FAO for disasterrisk reduction and to help combat climate change,understanding that the sustainable management ofresources for agriculture and food security is aprerequisite to guaranteeing the resilience of the sector.The objectives of this project were to establishinstitutional arrangements and mechanisms to fostercooperation between countries on these issues, andenhance capabilities for good practice implementation,geared towards bringing about change based on asustainable template for farming production anddevelopment, as an essential requirement toguaranteeing food security for future generations.In addition, the need to reinforce dialogue on, and actionin, regional and subregional areas was proposed to helppromote coordinated initiatives among different countriesthrough specific tools, such as policy, programme andsystem development. This allowed the project to furthertap into existing funding, including for the monitoringand early warning mechanisms for droughts, animalpest and disease control, disaster risk managementand climate change mitigation, for the sustainablemanagement of resources, especially water. -

2022Also available in:
This terminal evaluation covers the project "Mainstreaming ecosystem-based approaches to climate-resilient rural livelihoods in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school (FFS) methodology", funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The overall performance of the project is moderately satisfactory. The project is relevant in its response to climate change adaptation needs in Senegal. It is coherent in its design and is in phase with the Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE). The evaluation found that the project has contributed to capacity building of institutional actors and farmers organizations on climate change adaptation, resilience and gender equity. Notable results include: capacity building of technicians, relay producers, farmers and agro-pastoralists on good practices of adaptation to climate change, through the field-school approach; the establishment of a climate resilience fund that has allowed to finance micro-projects in rural area; the dissemination of agro-climatic information; trainings on adapted climate change practices at the farmfer field school (FFS) and agropastoral field school (APFS) level.
