    Supporting Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) - GCP/GLO/933/MUL 2022
    Also available in:

    The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) is an informal partnership designed to facilitate coordination among international partners and developing countries that seek to improve their capacity in National Forest Monitoring Systems and associated emissions measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) procedures. The GFOI Office is responsible for the overall coordination and administration of GFOI and, since late 2015, has been based at FAO headquarters in Rome. The aim of the current project was to provide secretariat services and day to day oversight of the broader GFOI partnership on behalf of its members, components and activities. The project would function as a focal point for the Initiative, facilitate its overall operations and ultimately help its partners to deliver coordinated support on forest monitoring and MRV in a targeted, efficient and effective manner.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

    Each year, rural areas lose a promising share of their workforce, as youth leave their homes and migrate to cities or move abroad in search of a better future. The distress induced by poverty, food insecurity and a lack of employment opportunities push many youth around the world to search for jobs elsewhere. By addressing the links between distress migration and rural development, FAO is making a difference in Tunisia and Ethiopia. With funding from the Italian Development Cooperation, the Rural Youth Mobility Project (RYM) was launched in 2015 to provide unemployed youth in migration-prone areas the two countries with the necessary training and equipment to start their rural enterprises. The aim is to promote innovative pathways for youth employment and entrepreneurship in rural areas. This publication describes the impact of the Project on rural communities in Tunisia and Ethiopia, through the testimonies of the young beneficiaries.
