Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of FAO’s country programme in Ghana 2018–2022 2023
Also available in:
No results found.In 2022, the FAO Office of Evaluation conducted its first country programme evaluation in Ghana covering the period between 2018 and 2022. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide strategic recommendations on how the FAO programme can be better oriented in Ghana that could feed into the formulation of the next Country Programming Framework (CPF), defining the priorities for cooperation between FAO and the Government of Ghana. The evaluation assessed the relevance of FAO's programme, its contributions to CPF priority areas, and organizational performance in Ghana. Overall, the evaluation found that FAO's programme in Ghana aligns with the government's agricultural modernization agenda, with significant contributions in value chain development, climate resilience, and anticipatory actions in the agriculture sector. However, the design and implementation of the CPF is not optimally responsive to Ghana's specific challenges as a low-middle-income country. Stakeholders recognize FAO's influence and expertise but highlighted a mismatch in strategic positioning and leadership. The evaluation emphasizes the importance of stronger government ownership and private sector engagement. The evaluation makes six recommendations, which includes FAO strengthening its presence and sights in Ghana and developing explicit corporate policies and tools for effective operations in low-middle-income countries. -

Al igual que en las ediciones anteriores, la publicación comienza con un análisis mundial de las tendencias en la producción de la pesca y la acuicultura, las poblaciones, la elaboración y el uso, el comercio y el consumo, sobre la base de las últimas estadísticas oficiales; y una revisión de la situación de las flotas pesqueras mundiales, el compromiso humano y la gobernanza en el sector. Entre los temas abordados en las partes 2, 3 y 4 se encuentran: la biodiversidad acuática; el enfoque ecosistémico de la pesca y la acuicultura; los efectos del cambio climático y las respuestas a ellos; la contribución del sector a la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición, así como cuestiones relacionadas con el comercio internacional, la protección del consumidor y las cadenas de valor sostenibles. Asimismo, se tratan temas relativos a la evolución mundial de la lucha contra la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada, preocupaciones específicas relacionadas con la contaminación de los océanos y las iniciativas de la FAO para mejorar los datos en materia de pesca de captura. Esta edición culmina con las perspectivas sobre el sector, incluidas las previsiones para 2030.

Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapUnited Nations Decade of Family Farming 2019-2028 - Global Action Plan 2019Agriculture today faces increasing pressure to provide sufficient, affordable and nutritious food for a growing population, cope with climate change and the degradation of natural resources, including water scarcity, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Pervasive inequalities between rural and urban areas have led to an unprecedented level of urbanization. To feed the world and do it sustainably, an urgent and radical shift in our food systems is necessary. To be effective, transformative actions must address a complex set of interconnected objectives encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions. Family farmers are at the heart of this issue. They provide the majority of the world’s food, are the major investors in agriculture and the backbone of the rural economic structure. The Global Action Plan of the UNDFF provides detailed guidance for the international community on collective, coherent and comprehensive actions that can be taken to support family farmers. It outlines a comprehensive approach to support efforts to achieve the SDGs, in the context of the progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food. Designed around seven mutually reinforcing pillars of work, the Global Action Plan recommends a series of interconnected actions from the local to the global level. Any interventions developed during the decade must always consider the diversity of family farmers. They should be context-specific, adapted to regional, national, local socio-cultural and socio-economic conditions. To guarantee the success of the UNDFF, all actions should place family farmers at the center and be implemented through bottom-up, participatory and inclusive processes.
