    Monitoring, evaluation and learning in the tropical fruit sector to generate evidence for sustainability and resilience
    An introductory guide for trainers
    2024
    Also available in:

    This training guide on measuring monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) was developed to help stakeholders in tropical fruit value chains to generate evidence regarding their resilience and sustainability interventions. Based on the technical guide “Monitoring, evaluation and learning: generating evidence on resilience and sustainability in the tropical fruit sector”, the training guide provides an introduction and practical guidance to the topic, aligned with good MEL practices and responsible business conduct. The training guide describes a collection of learning materials designed to help trainers and learners build skills in measuring the impact of interventions aimed at enhancing the resilience and sustainability of tropical fruit businesses. It also supports tracking progress, reporting results, and promoting transparency. The development of this material was made possible by the support of the Government of Germany.

    Resilience and sustainability in tropical fruit value chains
    Report from the global meeting of the Responsible Fruits Project
    2024
    Also available in:

    FAO organized a global meeting on resilience and sustainability in tropical fruit value chains in May 2024 with the aim to share up-to-date information on trends and challenges to resilience and sustainability in the tropical fruit industry; to identify risks to production and trade; to share success stories, good practices and technical information to address these risks; to identify gaps requiring further attention; and discuss the possible creation of a global platform for multistakeholder collaboration as we look towards the future. This technical meeting was organized as an activity of the project “Building responsible global value chains for the sustainable production and trade of tropical fruits” (the Responsible Fruits Project).

    Guide to context analysis informing FAO decision-making
    Approaches to working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
    2019
    Also available in:

    In 2018 FAO approved its Corporate Framework to Support Sustainable Peace in the Context of Agenda 2030, committing FAO to a more deliberate and transformative impact on sustaining peace, within the scope of its mandate. The foundational element for FAO supported interventions to - at a minimum - do no harm, or to identify where they may contribute to sustaining peace, is to understand contextual dynamics and how they could interact with a proposed intervention. This is essential to effective conflict-sensitive programming. The Guide to Context Analysis is a key step in operationalising this, being an accessible and practical learning tool for non-conflict specialists in FAO decentralised offices to document and institutionalise their knowledge of the local context, and thus inform conflict-sensitive design of FAO interventions. The wider objective is to minimise the risk of any negative or harmful impacts, as well as maximise any positive contributions towards strengthening and consolidating conditions for sustainable local peace. The Guide to Context Analysis is sufficiently flexible to suit a variety of potential audiences or reporting formats, including a rapid context analysis for a specific project, an area-based intervention, joint programming with other UN agencies, as well as a standalone strategic analysis to inform decentralised office planning. The Guide can be read both a standalone instructional aid on context analysis, as well as an essential precursor to FAO’s Programme Clinic approach to design conflict-sensitive interventions (comprising both a facilitators’ and participants’ guides).
