Synopsis (short abstract) This training manual seeks to build the capacity and enhance the training skills of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and partner organization staff to conduct training at grassroots level from a gender and HIV perspective. This is in an effort to fulfil the FAO mandate of developing interventions that minimize the existing gender gaps and ensure that resources and services are equally accessible to both men and women. It is also part of the continuing effort to b uild a team of gender and HIV skilled trainers in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and food security (FS) programmes. It is hoped that this will ultimately help to build confidence of the project beneficiaries, especially women, and promote their increased participation in programme activities and leadership positions that involve decision-making.

Through its disaster risk reduction (DRR) activities, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks to protect livelihoods from shocks, to make food production systems more resilient and more capable of absorbing the impact of, and recovering from, disruptive events. Disaster risk reduction protects development investments in the agriculture, livestock, fisheries/aquaculture and forestry sectors, helping the world’s most vulnerable people become food secure. Disaster ri sk reduction is vital for ensuring one of the most basic human rights, the right to food and freedom from hunger. Furthermore, disaster risk reduction creates a multiplier effect that accelerates the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal 1: the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger.

Final Evaluation of the Project “Strengthening Climate Change Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture to Improve Food Security in Haiti After the Earthquake”

Over the past decade, the country of Haiti located in the Caribbean has been subjected to numerous natural disasters, including Hurricanes Isaac and Sandy in 2010. Implemented by FAO and funded by the LDF, the agricultural and livelihoods resilience project “Strengthening Climate Change Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Agriculture to Improve Food Security in Haiti After the Earthquake” sought to restore livelihoods, introduce climate-smart agriculture techniques and rehabilitate damaged land and livelihoods. The final evaluation found solid gains made in the area of climate change adaptation, as the project took important steps to link emergency relief efforts. The project led to sustainable outcomes for increased resilience in terms of agricultural productivity, and incomes were increased due to improved production techniques. The project did not however have a sufficient exit strategy, and more work is needed to ensure the financial sustainability necessary to achieve long-term impact.
