    This publication was commissioned under the auspices of the project “FAO technical support to the COMESA-EAC-SADC program on climate change adaptation and mitigation in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSRO/RAF/307/COM)”. The study goal was to consult with stakeholders, including government departments, the private sector, civil society organizations, development partners, research institutions and NGOs involved in current and past climate-smart agriculture initiatives in the Eastern Africa (EA) sub -region, to map, review, analyse and synthesize major past and current CSA initiatives, in order to document the key stakeholders involved, the policies in place and the constraints, challenges, opportunities and enabling factors to adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices and technologies in the subregion.

    Bulletin
    Non-wood news
    An information bulletin on Non-Wood Forest Products

    Behind the new-look Non-Wood News is the usual wealth of information from the world of NWFPs. The Special Features section covers two different aspects of NWFPs: a specific product (bamboo) and a developing market (cosmetics and beauty care). Bamboo is versatile: it can be transformed, for example, into textiles, charcoal, vinegar, green plastic or paper and can also be used as a food source, a deodorant, an innovative building material and to fuel power stations. Reports indicate that natural c osmetics and beauty care are a huge global market, with forecasts indicating an annual growth of 9 percent through 2008. The Special Feature on Forest cosmetics: NWFP use in the beauty industry builds on this and includes information industry interest and marketing strategies (consumers are being drawn to natural products and thus their content is emphasized). As can be seen from the articles on shea butter in Africa and thanakha in Myanmar, many societies have always used and benefited from nat ural cosmetics. This issue includes other examples of traditional knowledge, such as the uses of the secretions of a poisonous tree frog in Brazil and the use by the traditional healers in India of allelopathic knowledge.

    Policy brief
    Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL) - Livestock, health, livelihoods and the environment in Ethiopia. An integrated analysis 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This report represents an attempt to operationalize the “One-Health” concept in Ethiopia. It is the result of an open and continuous multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue, guided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in collaboration with the Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 Programme of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Along this consultative process, national stakeholders have innovated under different perspectives. The report provides information on the methodology used to measure the returns of policies and investments aimed at tackling zoonotic diseases, whose outbreaks can have major negative impact on society, such as bovine tuberculosis and anthrax. What is possibly most valuable is that this report represents a key milestone in a longer journey we have all embarked on: we have agreed to build on this report to continue an open and informed multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary dialogue about the long-term dynamics of the livestock sector in Ethiopia. Our objective is to appreciate its trends and likely future impacts on society in order to design and implement informed policies and investments today, which will ensure a sustainable development trajectory of the livestock sector in this country in the long-term, for the benefits of the future generations.
