Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPurchase for Progress (P4P) INVESTMENT ANALYSIS: Malawi 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Malawi was selected during the consultation phase as one of the four countries for an investment analysis case study. The objective of this country study was to investigate the main benefits arising from the Malawi Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative and its impact on the beneficiaries, in particular those not documented by the programme’s monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. This country case study indicates that overall P4P brought positive benefits to the smallholder farming community and resulted in the growth of ACE, as farmers recognized the value of the exchange. It should be noted that the P4P programme only targeted approximately two percent of Malawi's agricultural producers, thus any discourse in this paper should be seen in light of the limited scope and size of the pilot. Further to this, the mission only visited seven of the 30 WFP-affiliated FOs and two traders. Thus the findings are by no means representative of the total population that benefited from the P4P pr ogramme. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookPurchase for Progress (P4P) Investment Analysis: Tanzania 2016
Also available in:
No results found.Tanzania was identified as a pilot country to test the study methodology developed during the consultation phase (Annex 4); assess data availability and reliability at country level; and shape the way forward for the other country case studies . The objective of this country study was to investigate the main benefits arising from the Tanzania Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative and its impact on the beneficiaries, in particular those who were not documented by the programme’s monitoring and evaluation system (M&E). This country case study highlights a number of significant results of the P4P intervention among the targeted population: increased productivity and physical outputs; changes in agricultural practices; shifts in technologies; and reduced post-harvest losses. Through the P4P, WFP was able to purchase around 15 percent of its food needs for country assistance programmes. -
Book (series)Technical studyPurchase for Progress (P4P) INVESTMENT ANALYSIS: El Salvador 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The investment analysis presented here for El Salvador is exploratory, providing, as far as the existing data and resources for the study permit, preliminary results on the Purchase for Progress (P4P) initiative’s costs and benefits.Impact of P4P on WFP programme and P4P costs: The regular programme of WFP costs does not seem to have been sufficiently affected by P4P. The M&E data is, in this regard, generally reliable. Future M&E improvements and analysis should focus on the analysis of the cos ts and benefits of P4P investment in value chain development. P4P overhead, and in particular staff costs, might deserve a better analysis in the future to look for possible efficiency gains. Nevertheless, decisions in this respect should be taken with caution, as some initially less costly projects in other countries have had to increase their implementation team in order to give the FOs the support they needed to make the project effective.

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”. -
