ProjectEnhancing Land and Water Resources Management in Somaliland and Puntland - GCP/SOM/059/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Somalia Water and Land Information Management (SWALIM) programmehas been successfully operating in Somalia for almost 20 years, serving government institutions, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs), development agencies, and United Nations bodies engaged in assisting Somali communities whose lives and livelihoods depend directly on water and land resources. The programmeprovides high quality water and land information, crucial to relief, rehabilitation and development initiatives in the country, to support sustainable water and land resources development and management. The current project, funded by the European Union, is integral to the FAO-SWALIM programmeand was designed specifically to address the requirements of Somaliland and Puntland. The project aimed to strengthen the capacity of all responsible government institutions by creating an Information Management Centre (IMC) able to provide the information and services required to design strategies, plans and infrastructures to improve access to water and sustainable use of land resources, especially for rural communities. -

Main Report

No results found.Satisfying the changing food habits and increased demand for food intensifies pressure on the world’s water, land and soil resources. However, agriculture bears great promise to alleviate these pressures and provide multiple opportunities to contribute to global goals. Sustainable agricultural practices lead to water saving, soil conservation, sustainable land management, conservation of natural resources, ecosystem and climate change benefits. Accomplishing this requires accurate information and a major change in how we manage these resources. It also requires complementing efforts from outside the natural resources management domain to maximize synergies and manage trade-offs. The objective of SOLAW 2021 is to build awareness of the status of land and water resources, highlighting the risks, and informing on related opportunities and challenges, also underlining the essential contribution of appropriate policies, institutions and investments. Recent assessments, projections and scenarios from the international community show the continued and increasing depletion of land and water resources, loss of biodiversity, associated degradation and pollution, and scarcity in the primary natural resources. SOLAW 2021 highlights the major risks and trends related to land and water and presents means of resolving competition among users and generating multiple benefits for people and the environment. The DPSIR framework was followed in order to identify the Drivers, Pressures, Status, Impact and Responses. SOLAW 2021 provides an update of the knowledge base and presents a suite of responses and actions to inform decision-makers in the public, private, and civil sectors for a transformation from degradation and vulnerability toward sustainability and resilience. -

Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response Framework for land, soil and water resources for agriculture. SOLAW21 Technical background report
2022Also available in:
No results found.The achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to agricultural, land, soil and water systems require a comprehensive understanding of the linkages, interdependencies and role of the systems. This report presents the Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response Framework (DPSIR), which was developed to describe the connections between the environment, socioeconomics and sustainable agricultural production systems. The report highlights the need for a comprehensive assessment of interventions and responses (technical, institutional and policy) for sustainably managing land and water resources and combating land degradation.
