No results found.In Eastern Africa, over three-quarters of the population cannot afford healthy diets, imposing high social and economic impacts on most countries. Therefore, transforming agrifood systems is critical to achieving food security and affordable, healthy diets for improved nutrition. One way FAO supports the agrifood system transformation is through the capacity development of relevant stakeholders to mainstream nutrition into national policies, programmes, strategic and investment plans. Training activities are predominantly carried out in person, but in 2020, these were suspended due to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) crisis. To meet the ongoing needs, the FAO Sub-Regional Office for Eastern Africa continued its capacity development initiatives through innovative modalities, such as the blended learning approach. The blended learning approach combines aspects of online and face-to-face instruction and was used for trainings in two countries: Eritrea and Somaliland. This brochure contains good practices and lessons learned from these trainings that can be used to inform the planning of similar capacity development activities in the future. -

No results found.According to the Caribbean Community ( a revitalized agricultural sector could play a central role in promoting sustainable rural development and food security in the Caribbean, moving away from an export oriented approach to promote resilience and innovation in the region’s smallholder based agricultural systems In order to tap this potential, individual efforts by single value chain actors would fail to generate the impact required across the region A more holistic and collaborative and integrated approach would on the contrary promote long term sustainable impacts and lead to cost effective, healthy and safe products for all, ensuring the inclusion and integration of smallholder producers, vulnerable consumer groups and rural populations The active participation of the private sector, from farmers and small and medium sized enterprises to multinational food companies, would attract the investments needed to improve productivity, create employment opportunities, reduce food imports and drive industry transformation To achieve these goals, the Governments of Barbados, Belize and Jamaica are committed to developing the agricultural sector by strengthening the performance of agricultural value chains However, the initiatives adopted in this field have often relied on external expertise As a consequence, the three countries requested FAO’s support to improve their institutional capacity to promote inclusive food systems and value chain initiatives strengthen the capacity of ministerial staff to design, implement and evaluate value chain development ( methodologies, stimulate cross departmental collaboration, local ownership, learning, innovation, sustainability and a greater impact on agricultural development The proposed project was therefore aimed at strengthening existing institutional arrangements, the skills of senior management and human resources, collaboration with other departments and the private sector, the training of VCD teams in the skills and methodologies required, and gender empowerment. -
