ProjectFactsheetGreen Jobs for Rural Youth Employment in Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste and Zimbabwe - GCP/INT/390/ROK 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The Green Jobs for Rural Youth Employment project was a global initiative, funded by KOICA and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste and Zimbabwe. Each country faces distinct economic, environmental and, social challenges, yet all share a strong reliance on agriculture as a primary source of employment. The project worked in close collaboration with host governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), farmers’ organizations, academic institutions and private sector actors with the aim of promoting sustainable employment pathways for rural youth and strengthening institutional capacities in the green economy.Investment in rural economies, diversification within and beyond agriculture, and structural transformation are essential to unlocking economic growth, creating decent employment and ensuring a just transition. The transition to a green economy enables small-scale producers and micro, small and medium enterprises to engage in higher value-added activities and adopt sustainable practices along supply chains. By facilitating this shift, the project supported the creation of green jobs, reduced poverty and increased resilience, while also aligning with national policies on youth employment, rural development and climate action. -
BookletCorporate general interestMainstreaming youth in FAO's Work Programme 2022A central principle of the 2030 Agenda is the assurance that “no one will be left behind” and the universal nature of the 2030 Agenda entails that youth should be considered across all Goals and targets. In its Strategic Framework 2022–2031, FAO has identified “youth” as an important group whose needs must be addressed across all of FAO’s programmatic work areas (along with the other two cross-cutting themes of gender and inclusion) so to promote a more systematic mainstreaming and operationalization of these issues across all of FAO’s work. This vademecum provides notions on why ‘’youth’’ have been identified as a cross-cutting theme in FAO’s Strategic Framework, who can be defined as youth, what is the specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and how to better include them in FAO’s activities while also providing notions on where to search for specific data and information on youth while designing or programming an activity.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileYouth-sensitive value chain analysis and development
Guidelines for practitioners
2022This publication is intended to assist field practitioners, youth organizations and other stakeholders to identify binding constraints and viable opportunities to youth engagement in value chains that can translate into greater youth inclusion. Considering youth heterogeneity and inequalities, the youth sensitive framework for value chain analysis gives guidance to assess factors that push and pull youth into employment and entrepreneurship in value chains. The youth-sensitive value chain (YSVC) analysis is a starting point for youth-inclusive agricultural value chain development, since it identifies entry points and key actions expected to bring about the desired increase in employment and business opportunities for youth within a more attractive agriculture sector.

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.

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. -
