    The Ministerial Conference on Water for Agriculture and Energy in Africa: the Challenges of Climate Change” was held in Sirte, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, on the 15-17 December 2008. The Conference discussed the prospect for food end energy demand by 2015 and the projections for 2030 and 2050, based on the key drives of population and income growth and under the threat of climate change, concluding that policy decisions and budget allocations should as well be made available for large-scale for ir rigated agriculture and hydropower generation. While recognizing the importance of national financing and regional cooperation for implementing strategies to address country needs and boost food production, the Conference Declaration appealed to multilateral agencies for additional funding and called upon developed and developing countries to realize their commitments in terms of budget allocation to agricultural production. The Sirte Declaration called upon the African Union Commission to d esign a road map and mechanism for monitoring and evaluating implementation, in collaboration with FAO, The African Development Bank, The Economic Commission for Africa, NEPAD, and the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.

    Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme - A brighter future for people and wildlife

    The Kavango Zambezi (KAZA) Transfrontier Conservation area is home to a great diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. Each year, the area experiences large-scale migrations of megafauna. Whilst rural communities in the Mucheni (Zimbabwe) and Simalaha (Zambia) Community Conservancies have distinct cultures and local governments, they depend on hunting and fishing for both food and income. Community conservancies are legally-recognised, geographically-defined areas that have been formed by communities that have united to manage and benefit from wildlife and other natural ressources. However, communities’ livelihoods are threatened by erratic rainfall, poor soils, and human–wildlife conflicts. The SWM Project in KaZa is promoting a sustainable use of natural resources, including wildlife and fisheries, by the Community conservancies. It is also developing alternative sources of proteins, such as livestock husbandry and aquaculture. The project is being implemented by CIRAD in coordination with the governments of both Zambia and Zimbabwe. The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme is a seven-year (2018–2024) international initiative to improve the conservation and sustainable use of wildlife in forest, savannah and wetland ecosystems. The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, which is funded by the European Union, with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD). The SWM Programme is being implemented by a dynamic consortium of four partners with expertise in wildlife conservation and food security. These are the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development (CIRAD), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS).
