    The Forest and Farm Facility, which was established in 2012, is a partnership between FAO, the International Institute for Environment and Development, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and AgriCord. The FFF works in ten core countries (Bolivia, Ecuador, Kenya, Ghana, Madagascar, Tanzania, Togo, Zambia, Nepal and Viet Nam and in two network countries (Liberia and The Gambia)). We are a unique, highly cost-effective programme – our approach of directly supporting forest and farm groups as key agents of change influences national and global forestry and farming practices, programmes, narratives and policies.

    This report is a mid-term evaluation (MTE) of the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF), one of the first “umbrella programmes” within the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). In support of the programme vision, “Smallholders, communities and indigenous peoples’ organizations have improved their livelihoods and decision-making over forest and farm landscapes”, FFF activities were organized under three working areas or pillars: i) Strengthen smallholder, women, community and in digenous peoples’ producer organizations for business/livelihoods and policy engagement; ii) Catalyze multi-sectoral stakeholder policy platforms with governments at local and country levels; iii) Link local voices and learning to global processes through communication and information dissemination.

It discusses their context and the approach and presents some preliminary results mapped under the organizing principle of the Four Betters. As the project advances, further fine-tuning for optimization and new examples can be expected to be added. Moving forward, it will require sustained government support for scaling up the promising solutions in an equitable and contextual manner to maximize benefits for the rural livelihoods of Saudi Arabia.
