DocumentOther documentPro-Poor Policy Options: Marginal Farmers, the Rural Landless, Women and Youths in Nepal 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief looks at the most marginalized and disadvantaged section of Nepalese society, people who are ultra poor, severely undernourished and chronically food insecure. They have long been excluded from mainstream development efforts – indeed even excluded from the communities in which they reside. Recent political developments in Nepal, particularly a new interim constitution which expressly acknowledges that the marginalized people have the same rights as all other citizens, provides an opportune moment to address the issues relating to them. The paper advocates adopting a livelihoods approach to the formulation of policies for these disadvantaged segments of Nepalese society. -
DocumentOther documentPro-Poor Policy Options/ Vietnam: The Case for Public-Private Partnership for Irrigation Service Development and Management in An Giang Province 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief suggests that agricultural cooperative and cooperation group operation of small to medium-size irrigation services in Vietnam’s An Giang province will further modernize the agricultural sector and increase production. The existing irrigation infrastructure cannot meet farmer demand, which results in higher production costs and underutilized services. Enabling cooperatives to manage small to medium-size irrigation systems, while continuing government control of large systems, is therefore an important strategy for optimizing irrigation system benefits and improving poor farmers’ livelihoods. -
DocumentOther documentPro-Poor Policy Options: Strengthening District-Level Agricultural Service Delivery in Cambodia 2011
Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief calls for Cambodia’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to renew its commitment to agricultural extension and prioritize farmers’ needs by reviewing and revising MAFF’s policy environment. Moreover, institutional links between extension stakeholders (including farmers, all relevant departments of MAFF, private sector actors, and other concerned ministries) must be formalized, research-extension links improved, and the extension system reoriented to be more b usiness-focused.

BookletFAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapFAO Action Plan 2022–2025 for the implementation of the FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2023The elements of the Action Plan are derived from the Theory of Change anchored in the Strategy. The Action Plan is therefore articulated around the three pillars and six outcomes of the Strategy. In addition, and with the aim to provide more clarity, action areas have been introduced to cluster the outputs, which are concrete results contributing to each outcome of the Strategy. The outputs are formulated based on the FAO actions listed in section IV “Three pillars for enhanced action” of the Strategy. In the following matrix of outcomes and outputs, each output is cross-referenced with the relevant PPAs and SDG targets it contributes to achieve, in line with the FAO Strategic Framework. Similarly, each action area is being monitored by an indicator from the updated results framework 2022–2025. These indicators have been selected according to their linkage to the action area to best illustrate the contribution of the Action Plan to the implementation of the Strategic Framework. Based on the nature of the action area (technical vs functional), these indicators are either key performance indicators (KPIs) or output indicators from the PPAs.

Book (series)Technical reportSpecial Report: 2024 FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission to the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
18 March 2025
2025Also available in:
No results found.At the request of the government, an FAO Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) visited the country from 17 to 30 November 2024 to estimate the 2024 crop production, assess the impact of floods that occurred in July, August and September, identify other factors that influenced crop production, analyse food market conditions and forecast cereals and pulses import requirements for the 2024/25 marketing year (July/June).The Mission identified some measures to address the most urgent needs of farmers affected by climate hazards and to improve performance and resilience of the agricultural sector in line with the Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS) 2015–2035.In order to provide assistance to farmers affected by the floods and to strengthen agriculture resilience as well as to unlock agriculture growth potential, the Mission recommends the implementation of a series of cost‑effective short- and medium‑term measures aligned to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development's ADS 2015–2035. The ADS aims to transform the country from an increasingly net food importer to a net food exporter, generating 0.5 percent trade surplus and to achieve an agriculture growth at a rate of 6 percent per year at the end of the policy period.
