ProjectStrengthening Resource Mobilization Strategies to Eradicate Hunger and Malnutrition, and to Foster Sustainable Rural Development and Climate-Resilient Agriculture - TCP/RLA/3718 2022For more than 25 years, official development assistance ( has been distributed on the basis of a classification of countries by income Developed by the World Bank, this establishes a graduation system which places countries in high, upper middle, lower middle and low income categories While this methodology certainly provides highly useful information and data for macro economic analysis, it provides an average figure and therefore fails to highlight inequalities within the countries The Latin American and Caribbean region faithfully reflects this situation, as it has yet to efficiently address the challenges of halting malnutrition, strengthening rural agriculture and building resilience to climate change Despite the region’s growth in recent years, with most countries in the high and upper middle income brackets, the idea that they can take control of their own development, through domestic financing, fails to take into account the inequalities that can be generated in terms of domestic wealth distribution, climate vulnerability or social and political instability It is also possible to identify pockets of absolute poverty within each country, which still require technical and financial expertise and, hence, continue to require international cooperation A greater contribution is expected from the private sector through financial instruments that attract investment in line with the Sustainable Development Goals ( Currently, countries and stakeholders in the region have insufficient knowledge of private financing mechanisms and public private partnerships for project development, thereby hampering access to new resources The project aimed to develop conceptual frameworks on resource mobilization trends and opportunities for Latin American and Caribbean countries, while striking a structural balance between the different thematic areas in which FAO provides technical assistance and support The aim was to assist countries in identifying sources of financing that would enable them to achieve the SDGs, and to bring the corresponding strategic partners closer to the region and actively seek new private financing mechanisms At the national level, the objective was to increase the resources available to execute technical collaboration projects, through close interaction between governments, cooperation agencies and the private sector The desired outcome was to provide the region with a strategy for mobilizing resources to combat hunger and poverty among rural populations that are also vulnerable to climate change For this purpose, regional coordination is needed to support the project, which will help identify experiences and lessons learned that can be replicated or adapted in other countries at a later stage.

ProjectStrengthening Local Food Systems (Impacted by COVID-19) by Promoting Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Urban and Peri-Urban Agriculture Value Chains - TCP/SOI/3801 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Solomon Islands is comprised of over 1 000 islands with a population that grows at a rate of 2.3 percent annually. In this context, there is a need to ensure that the personal health of the country’s citizens is supported through the consumption of affordable and nutritious food containing vital vitamins and protein, and that these foods are accessible. In 2009, in Solomon Islands, just under 20 percent of the population lived in urban centres. In 2017, this figure had increased to 23.3 percent, with the urban population growing at twice the rate of the rural population. Increased urbanization is accompanied by changing patterns of food consumption with consequent health implications, including a rise in non communicable diseases. Furthermore, climate change and disaster risk management are significant issues given the current and future impacts expected, and the associated risks posed to natural ecosystems such as coastal and marine environments, fisheries, agriculture, water resources, health, biodiversity, infrastructure, and industry. In addition, COVID-19 impacted food production and related food supply chains for food systems in Honiara and the provinces. In these circumstances, the promotion of local food consumption for healthy diets has been identified as a priority by the government. -
ProjectBuilding Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Empowering Farmers for a Sustainable Future in Jordan - UTF/JOR/027/JOR 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Jordan faces severe water scarcity, with renewable water resources far below global thresholds, exacerbated by population growth, refugee influx and economic development. This scarcity is compounded by land degradation and climate change, which is expected to worsen conditions through higher temperatures, reduced rainfall, and increased droughts. The agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable, with shifts in temperature and precipitation threatening crop reliability, productivity and income. The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) launched the REGEP project to address these challenges, focusing on creating employment for youth and women, enhancing climate change adaptation and improving horticultural skills in five governorates: Ajloun, Jerash, Balqa, Madaba, and Mafraq. The project also supported savings and small-scale enterprises through Savings and Credit Groups and facilitated access to rural credit by involving commercial banks in agricultural lending. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) was designed to contribute to the REGEP by integrating a climate adaptation and resilience component, under which beneficiaries engaged in agricultural activities on climate-smart practices to improve their income while contributing to environmental sustainability and identifying export-oriented value chains with an acceptable water footprint.
