ProjectTechnical Assistance to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine in Agricultural Support Policy, Exports of Horticultural Products and Land Consolidation - TCP/UKR/3601 2020

No results found.Agriculture is a key sector of the national economy of Ukraine, accounting for approximately one sixth of Gross Domestic product (GDP). The country became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2008, and signed the Association Agreement with the European Union (EU) at the end of 2014. This has led to new export opportunities in the agricultural and food processing sectors. At the same time, new policy approaches, instruments and institutions are needed to support further growth, as well as reforms to make these sectors more effective and competitive. Against this background, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine (MAPF) prepared the Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development 2015-2020. The overall objective of the strategy was to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural and food sectors and trade, and to promote rural development in a sustainable manner, in line with EU legislation and international standards. The Government of Ukraine requested that FAO provide technical assistance and policy support for MAPF in the implementation of the strategy in the following principal areas: i) land reform; ii) agrifood-chain development; and iii) improved access to internationalmarkets. -

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetForty years of natural hazards turning into food insecurity disasters in eastern Africa: actions to prevent and reduce “moral hazards” in food security and agriculture 2017
Also available in:
No results found.This policy brief explores gaps and challenges related to managing recurrent climatic events that iteratively trigger agriculture and food insecurity disasters in eastern Africa. For over 40 years, natural hazards (mainly droughts, floods and landslides) have affected millions of people in the eastern Africa subregion. The impact of these hazards have been high, continue to rise in frequency and are mostly felt in the agriculture and food sectors. In some other countries of the World with compar able exposure to weather and climate variability, livelihoods impacts are much lower and do not necessarily result in resurgent food insecurity disasters. The major impediments in the sub-region lie in the high vulnerabilities and low coping capacities of the eastern African populations, mostly sustaining their livelihoods through rainfed agriculture. The brief advocates for aspects that require increased action and effectiveness in mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in agricultural and food sectors of eastern African countries
