No results found.The project contributed to sustainable peace, development and inclusive growth in Mindanao. It aimed to improve agriculture- and fisheries-based livelihoods and accelerate agriculture enterprises. The project had a three-fold objective: improve the productivity of small farmers, marginal fisherfolk, Indigenous Peoples and internally displaced persons; integrate these populations into agriculture value chains; and increase the resilience of farming and fishing livelihoods against multiple hazards through disaster risk reduction and management tools. The project planned various forms of assistance for the beneficiaries: strengthen farmer groups and organizations; identify improved technologies across value chains and markets for added value; and establish partnerships and appropriate business arrangements. It aimed to support 10 740 poor farming and fishing households in the targeted areas, 40 percent of which involved women. The project covered various provinces in the south of the country, namely Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur and Cotabato. -

No results found.This evaluation report provides a comprehensive assessment of the "Support for Agriculture and Agribusiness Enterprises in Mindanao for Sustainable Development" project, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) with funding from the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project aimed to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability in Mindanao by supporting small farmers, marginal fishers, and Indigenous populations. The evaluation assessed the project's relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, gender, and social inclusion.Key findings indicate that the project has increased agricultural productivity and income, enhanced market access, and successfully combined Indigenous Peoples' farming knowledge with modern technologies. The project aligns with FAO and KOICA's strategic objectives, enhancing agricultural productivity, promoting environmentally friendly practices, and modernizing agriculture.The project has made progress in providing economic opportunities for women in some areas. However, the evaluation notes the need to increase women's access to various jobs and organizational roles.Although global disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the project's efficiency and resulted in procurement delays, adaptive strategies and donor flexibility helped mitigate some financial strains. The evaluation suggests that some actions would be needed for future similar projects to make a bigger impact. These include streamlining procurement processes, strengthening gender-focused interventions, documenting and scaling successful business models, and ensuring long-term sustainability through policy support at local level and search for more collaborative funding. -
ProjectSupporting the Development of the Bougainville Food Security Action Plan to Facilitate Enhancing Policy Adoption and Implementation in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville - TCP/PNG/3904 2025

No results found.The AROB is historically known for its rich mineral resources, particularly the Panguna mine, which in the 1960s was the largest open-cut mine in the world. However, the mine's abrupt closure in 1989 due to civil unrest left the region in economic distress, underscoring the need to explore alternative, sustainable sources of livelihood. In response, AROB has recognized the importance of transitioning towards renewable resources, which can provide food and nutrition security, generate income, and support economic independence. The AROB is abundant in agriculture, forestry, land, and marine resources, which are vital for the livelihoods of its population. In alignment with these goals, the FAO has supported the DPIMR in crafting the Bougainville Food Security Policy Framework (BFSP) for 2022-2032. This framework is designed to secure food and nutrition for Bougainville, emphasizing rural growth, gender equity, and environmental conservation. The BFSP's overarching vision is to transform Bougainville into a food and nutrition secure, prosperous nation with a high quality of life.
