No results found.This facsheets gives some highlights of the impact of FFF support in Nepal, as well as some major achievements by the numbers, and some lessons learnt. Summary of the impact: • Policy outcomes were influenced by Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) with important implications for improving livelihoods and forest sustainability through direct dialogues supported by Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) between FFPOs and the government. • FFPO enterprises improved capacity to manage finances and demonstrate their economic viability, leading to increased investment and access to finance — particularly for women. • Greater economic empowerment among women entrepreneurs, demonstrating new skills and confidence in their abilities as business managers. This was evident when negotiating credit access from financial institutions, despite facing traditional challenges such as lack of ownership of assets for collateral purposes. • Entrepreneurship and investment catalyzed for women’s enterprises through alliance of FFPOs. FNCSI’s Central Women Entrepreneurs Committee (CWEC) took central role in successfully lobbying for establishment of the Women Entrepreneurs Development Fund within the Ministry of Industry.

Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapUnited Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 - Global Action Plan 2019Agriculture today faces increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, cope with climate change and the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban areas have led to an unprecedented level of urbanization. To feed the world and do it sustainably, an urgent and radical shift in our food systems is necessary. To be effective, transformative actions must address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Family farmers are at the heart of this issue. They provide the majority of the world’s food, are the major investors in agriculture and the backbone of the rural economic structure. The Global Action Plan of the UNDFF provides detailed guidance for the international community on collective, coherent and comprehensive actions that can be taken to support family farmers. It outlines a comprehensive approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs, in the context of the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars of work, the Global Action Plan recommends a series of interconnected actions from the local to the global level. Any interventions developed during the decade must always consider the diversity of family farmers. They should be context-specific, adapted to regional, national, local socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions. To guarantee the success of the UNDFF, all actions should place family farmers at the center and be implemented through bottom-up, participatory and inclusive processes.
