Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetResilience Building in Liberia
FAO Programme Review 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF) collaborates with several African countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Liberia, to enhance resilience building efforts. FAO is implementing programs in Liberia to enhance resilience, aligning with government priorities and key policies. The Resilience Building Programme focuses on policy interventions covering food security, nutrition, land, livestock, fisheries, and environment. FAO promotes sustainable food systems, supports value chain development, enhances agricultural governance, and strengthens capacities of relevant institutions. The organization also supports responsible agrifood systems, facilitates investments in various agriculture value chains, and collaborates with the government to improve infrastructure and create an enabling environment for investments. Cross-cutting areas include gender equality, youth empowerment, climate change mitigation, and environmental protection. FAO's initiatives in Liberia aim to strengthen preventive, anticipatory, absorptive, adaptive, and transformational capacities to empower local communities and foster sustainable development. This document reflects an analysis of ongoing FAO Liberia resilience building interventions and how they contribute towards the five capacities for resilience building, namely: Preventive: reduce existing and future risks; Anticipative: act early; Absorptive: the ability to bounce back, overwhelmingly humanitarian (emergency response); Adaptive: incremental adjustments; Transformative: make fundamental changes to the system. The five capacity areas are in most cases overlapping during specific project implementation, with the classification based on the overarching resilience capacity area. -
Book (stand-alone)Creating resilient livelihoods for youth in small-scale food production
A collection of projects to support young people in achieving sustainable and resilient livelihoods and food security
2022Also available in:
No results found.This publication showcases initiatives that have been successfully implemented to help youth build resilience in the agrifood system, despite the severe consequences of climate change and formidable social and economic challenges. It aims to inspire potential policies and programmes by portraying key needs, challenges and initiatives, as well as lessons learned and opportunities for helping to improve the resilience of livelihoods for youth in small-scale food production. The aim is to draw recommendations from these initiatives, building on the Koronivia Joint work on Agriculture (KJWA) – a landmark decision under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) that recognizes the unique potential of agriculture in tackling climate change. -
Book (stand-alone)Building evidence on agricultural value chains interventions in refugee settings
Baseline analysis in Uganda
2023Also available in:
No results found.This baseline report examines the Refugee Agricultural Value Chains for Economic Self-reliance (RAVES) project in Uganda. The programme adopts an innovative approach, with a focus on providing sustainable long-term solutions beyond humanitarian assistance that mitigate the negative effects of displacement, uplift refugees, and support host communities. The approach allows the refugees to contribute to the economy of the host community without creating social tension. The project supports both refugee and host communities to engage in high value crop value chains, linking them to private sector actors.This baseline report focuses on Uganda and is implemented in Kiryandongo district among both refugees and host communities. The district is predominantly agriculture based and has the biophysical conditions suitable for growing passion fruit.Our analysis suggests that the randomization between treatment and control was fully successful in host communities but less so in the refugees’ settlements. The variations we find between host communities and refugees’ settlements when it comes to demographics, food security, endowment of land and constraints in agricultural production hint towards large structural differences between the two groups. This calls for tailored approaches such as a gender-specific one to address the two communities' specific obstacles to participation in commercial value chains.
