Synopsis (short abstract) The present technical study provides the results and a summary of the most important lessons learned from implementation of a series of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the rice supply chains of Gagnoa in Côte d’Ivoire. The aim of the CSA practices was to enhance the adaptive capacity of the rice sector against climate change, as erratic rainfall patterns and droughts events have, historically, significantly impacted production. This study relies on data collected at farm and processing levels during two field missions to two pilot sites in August 2017 and September 2018 under the project “Contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire via l’agriculture intelligente face au climat en Côte d’Ivoire – cas de la filière riz”. This project is a technical cooperation project implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 2016 and 2018. The study provides a series of recommendations for policymakers, including incentives for the development of a modern bioenergy sector in Côte d’Ivoire which are still nascent.

    Côte d’Ivoire has been a member of FAO since 1961 and the Organization has had a permanent presence in the country since 1987. The country is returning to stability after a decade of instability and social unrest (2002-2012), during which time FAO cooperation was dominated by agricultural emergency and rehabilitation assistance. Interventions today are aimed at transforming agriculture into a productive and income-generating sector that should enable the country to progress towards sustainable, inclusive agriculture, as a driver of industrial transformation.

    This fact-sheet aims to promote the dynamism of women processors of fishery products in West Africa with regards to organization, processing, commercialization and diversification aspects. It showcases the work carried ou by women in terms of production of dried and salted grouper in Maio pilot site (Cabo Verde), production and commercialization of smoked tuna in FFT stove in Locodjro (Côte d'Ivoire) and production and commercialization of dried shrimps and molluscs in Saloum’s islands, Niodior (Senegal). The purpose is to: i) improve the efficiency of the value chain in fishing communities by sharing forms of organizational structures, good processing, and commercialization practices of fishery products by women; and ii) raise awareness to wider audience of fisheries stakeholders so they know more options for product improvement based on CFI experience.
