Book (stand-alone)High-profileInnovations pour le financement agricole et mécanismes d’atténuation des risques inclusives
Le cas de Tamwil El Fellah au Maroc
2016Also available in:
Le Plan Maroc Vert du Gouvernement du Maroc souligne le rôle important del’agriculture et définit des stratégies visant à promouvoir le développement de ce secteur en y attirant des investissements nationaux et internationaux et en organisant les acteurs privés en chaînes de valeur concurrentielles et rentables. Malgré ces efforts, cependant, de grands défis restent à relever. L’un des principaux concerne la disponibilité de services financiers pour les acteurs ruraux de l’agriculture. Le capita l moyen nécessaire chaque année pour financer l'agriculture est estimé à 30 milliards de Dirhams. Les finances du secteur bancaire marocain représente seulement 17 pour cent de cette demande et le Crédit Agricole du Maroc est responsable d'environ 80 pour cent de cette part du financement à l'agriculture. Une large part de la population rurale, composée des ménages les plus pauvres, continue de voir ses besoins financiers principalement satisfaits par des fournisseurs de services financiers info rmels, le secteur financier formel n’étant pas en mesure de proposer, dans les zones rurales, des produits adaptés et répondant aux besoins d’un développement durable. La présente étude de cas décrit un modèle particulièrement innovant de fourniture de services financiers aux ménages ruraux les plus pauvres dépendant de l’agriculture – le modèle Tamwil El Fellah (TAF), société créée par le Groupe Crédit Agricole du Maroc (GCAM). L'analyse présentée dans cette étude vise à mettre en évidence des principes importants qui peuvent être appliqués par les institutions financières et les organismes de promotion pour faciliter des services financiers ruraux et agricoles inclusives compris le contexte des pays en développement. -
DocumentOther documentThe Carbon Balance of the World Bank-financed Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Project of the Government of Rwanda: Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance tool (EX-ACT)
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 121
2012Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach. -
DocumentOther documentReview of smallholder linkages for inclusive agribusiness development
Good Practices in investment design, prepared under the FAO/World Bank Cooperative Programme
2013Also available in:
No results found.The main purpose of this study is to gain insight into “collaborative business models”14 that provide opportunities for smallholder farmers to improve their linkages to markets and that could serve as alternatives to large-scale land acquisitions. This study covers a broad range of business models15 and practices as well as explores key factors that have led to successful and sustainable partnerships. It incorporates existing knowledge, reviews the literature on the topic and presents several examples from Ghana and other countries (Thailand, Uganda and India), where such models have been successful. The desk research was complemented with fieldwork undertaken in-country. Nine case studies of private companies in Ghana that use inclusive business models were developed. Of the nine case studies, six case studies were researched in the field and the three case studies were drawn from a literature review. The nine case studies addressed the following crops: horticult ural crops (pineapple), oil palm, rubber, rice, sorghum and maize. This study does not address food crops, except for traditional export crops such as cocoa and oil palm, as they are seldom grown under contractual arrangements. -

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
