DocumentBangladesh: Bangladesh Country Programming Framework. CPF 2014- 2018. Towards Sustainable Agriculture and Improved Food Security & Nutrition 2014
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Country Programming Framework (CPF) for Bangladesh is a strategic planning and management tool which provides FAO with a sound basis for developing its mid-term country programme, in line with the policies and development priorities of the Government. The specific objectives of the CPF are to identify country level priority areas of work, assistance needs and investment opportunities; to make FAO’s response at country level more effective; to help coordinate and contribute to multilatera l goals relating to sustainable agriculture, rural development, food security and nutrition. The identified focus areas must also reflect and be consistent with the mandate and expertise of FAO as a specialized technical agency of the UN (defined by its corporate FAO Strategic Framework and Regional Priorities), and be consistent with other internationally agreed development goals (such as the MDGs). The CPF represents a milestone in the decentralization of FAO, and lays the basis for a more int egrated and “bottom-up” approach to FAO Programming at country level. Being formulated in close collaboration with the government, the process by which the CPF was produced has established a formal dialogue, created ownership, and instilled a shared agenda for work over the next five years. In turn, this coherence-in defining investment and support needs-invites support from Development Partners. This document is a revised version of the first FAO CPF for Bangladesh which was formulated in 2010- 11. The document is structured as follows. Section I introduces, while Section II provides context and current situation related to agriculture and food security in Bangladesh. Section III explores FAO’s relative strengths in the country and relates these to the new FAO Strategic Framework and regional priorities. Section IV identifies the main development challenges and priorities that were articulated during the stakeholder consultations, followed by the outline of the new CPF Country Priority Areas. Finally, Section V describes how these priority areas are to be funded, implemented, monitored and evaluated. -
ProjectEnhancing Food and Nutrition Security in Selected Communities of Lama Upazila, Bangladesh - UNJP/BGD/072/WFP 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The project targeted women beneficiaries living near primary schools, who were supported and trained on nutritious homestead fruits and vegetables production. Vegetables production sites were established for this purpose, and required inputs, including health safety materials to combat COVID 19, were distributed among the beneficiaries. Capacity development was the core component of the project, targeting individual farmers and the SMCs. Training provided on the production of vegetables, fruits, Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), post harvest loss management and market oriented production planning effectively strengthened the beneficiaries’ production capacities to meet market demands. In addition, a cooking demonstration and training programme was organized, using locally accepted food items. It is expected that the nutrition education provided by the project will help families with limited resources to make food choices that will improve their diet and health. A market study was carried out with the broad objective of assessing the market potentiality for different vegetables and fruits grown in Lama Upazila . Following this study, a series of linkage meetings with local market actors was organized, to create an enabling environment for smallholder farmers to access markets, by providing market information, promoting aggregated supply, and advocating for rules, regulations and incentives for smallholder producers. -
