ProjectStrengthening Capacities to Operate Government-Led Home-Grown School Food Initiatives in Ethiopia and Senegal - GCP/GLO/775/ITA 2022
Also available in:
Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF) is a school feeding model that provides children in schools with safe, diverse and nutritious food sourced locally from smallholders. The benefits of HGSF go beyond education and nutrition to tackle livelihoods of smallholder farmers and local communities. However, building links between school feeding programmes and local and smallholder agriculture production requires adjustments and reforms at institutional, policy and regulatory levels. This includes the alignment of public procurement laws, regulations and related practices. Against this background, building on the previous experience of the Purchase from Africans for Africa (PAA Africa) programme designed and implemented by FAO and the World Food Programme (WFP) to support HGSF, the project aimed to enhance the technical capacity of the governments of Ethiopia and Senegal to operate their current HGSF initiatives. The project also provided additional options for decision making on supply chain and business models, operational modalities, adapted procurement regulatory frameworks and contractual options, for an inclusive public procurement of a diversified school food basket. -
ProjectSupporting the European Union’s Analytical and Decision-Making Capacity on Agricultural Investments - GCP/GLO/948/EC 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Although agriculture provides the main source of income for around half a billion smallholders in the world, farmers and small rural enterprises face challenges in attracting the necessary capital, particularly from local financial institutions, to improve their productivity, livelihoods and supply chain participation.In 2017, as part of their strategic dialogue, FAO and the European Union decided to expand their collaboration in the area of investment support, with a view to enabling greater private investment in sustainable agrifood systems that might have a strong development impact. In this context, the present AgrIntel project was designed in 2018 with the overarching objective of supporting the European Union’s analytical and decision-making capacity on agricultural investments, including value chain analysis and investment support services.The project had three main goals, namely (i) to support the INTPA in making informed decisions regarding the European Union’s specific investment operations in agricultural value chains, in particular concerning economic, social and environmental sustainability, (ii)to contribute to the overall generation of knowledge and dialogueon agrifood value chains in countries of interest to INTPA, and(iii)to provide demand-driven investment support services to improvethe dissemination of value chain and investment analysis amongkey value chain stakeholders. To achieve these goals, the project wasstructured around three main areas: blended finance advisory services,food systems assessments (FSAs) and the Global Sustainable CocoaInitiative (SCI).
