No results found.The project’s goal was to ensure sustainable food production and improve soil quality and agrobiodiversity in the oasis agroecosystems of Egypt’s Western Desert. It focused on three key components: i) building an environment for sustainable land, water, and agrobiodiversity management; ii) demonstrating efficient practices for sustainable land and water management and agrobiodiversity conservation in three pilot sites; and iii) managing knowledge to scale and expand project results. The Desert Research Center led the project, with support from the FAO for project management and technical assistance. -
BookletTerminal evaluation of the project “Sustainable Management of Kharga Oasis Agroecosystems in the Egyptian Western Desert”
Project code: GCP/EGY/030/GFF, GEF ID: 9928

No results found.The Kharga Oasis is the biggest one in the Egyptian Western Desert and has been targeted as pilot area for FAO-GEF project intervention. The Kharga Oasis has been severely affected by desertification and land degradation, resulting in 40 percent of cultivated land becoming barren. The remaining 60 percent is suffering from human-induced degradation and increased wind and water erosion processes. Soil salinity and wind erosion are the main challenges faced by farmer communities in the Kharga Oasis agroecosystem. Within the Kharga Oasis, three intervention villages, i.e. Nasser El-Thawra, El-Mounira, and El-Shirka, have been selected from a list of ten sites that met several criteria for successful demonstration of sustainable land, water, and agrobiodiversity management practices. The project's objectives were well aligned with the needs of local communities, identified through a participatory planning approach, but also with national development strategies. The project enhanced the institutional, management, and technical capacities of key stakeholders through tailored training programmes, and successfully promoted integrated sustainable land and water management and agrobiodiversity practices. The FAO team and executing partners, notably the Desert Research Centre, established robust connections with local governments and communities, fostering trust and ensuring local ownership. The evaluation recommends FAO to engage in other/future initiatives aiming to replicate and upscale the project in other areas of the Kharga Oasis, and to continue supporting the local seed bank and the biocontrol laboratory established by the project to ensure the sustainability of those interventions. -
