ProjectIntegrating Agro-Ecological Approaches to Increase Resilience to Climate Change and Improve Sustainable Food Systems in West Africa and the Sahel - TCP/SFW/3703 2022
Also available in:
The role agro-ecology plays in dealing with the food and climate crises, by enhancing local biodiversity and natural resource conservation, is increasingly clear. It responds to the triple challenge facing the agriculture sector: poverty eradication, increased productivity, and sustainability. However, West Africa and the Sahel lack sufficient national and subregional data on agro-ecology; and this hinders the implementation of policies to support systems for applying the best solutions for soil conservation, biodiversity, water and community empowerment at the local level. To support agro-ecological transition initiatives, the project was tasked with developing a ten-year programme to promote agro-ecology in West Africa and the Sahel, involving ten of the region’s countries. -
ProjectAddressing Challenges and Opportunities at the Heart of the Climate Change, Migration and Rural Livelihoods Nexus - GCP/GLO/448/IRE 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change and food security are complex, intertwined processes, whose interaction has profound implications on human mobility. Rural people are exceptionally vulnerable to climate change impacts owing to their strong dependency on climate sensitive livelihoods and natural resources. Rural areas therefore appear to be at higher risk of climate induced migration, as is the case for Zimbabwe and other countries in Southern Africa. Despite increased evidence of climate induced migration and its relevance for rural areas, there is still a lack of policy coherence and coordination across sectors. This limits the adoption of comprehensive approaches to climate mobility that can tackle the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of climate change, migration and rural livelihoods. Through this project, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aimed at addressing this policy and programmatic gap, generating knowledge and strengthening capacities to ultimately address the root causes of climate induced mobility while harnessing the contribution of migration to climate adaptation. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Strengthening agroclimatic monitoring and information systems to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in the Lao People's Democratic Republic"
Project code: GCP/LAO/021/LDF - GEF ID 5462
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project focused on technical innovation to strengthen efforts to build climate resilience of smallholder producers. The project, beyond original expectations, generated an agroecological zoning modelling tool (pyAEZ) of global relevance. The project achieved many of its outputs, some of which went beyond the indicators and exceeded targets for coverage. Securing co-financing (and engaging other actors in complementary efforts) was very successful. The network of weather stations was improved along with establishing a laboratory for calibration of the sensors of the automatic weather station (AWS), and the Lao Climate Service for Agriculture (LaCSA), a decision-making tool developed by the project to provide agrometeorological advisories and early warnings. The project was found to have made a significant contribution to strengthening agroclimatic monitoring and information systems to improve adaptation to climate change and food security.
