Synopsis (short abstract) In Guyana, new factors such as climate change, declining international commodity prices and future revenues from offshore oil discoveries require the Government to rethink the future of the agricultural sector and consider the potential for diversification in the coming years. Given the challenges ahead, the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) needs to be strengthened. In particular, reliable statistical information is essential for planning, monitoring and evaluating agricultural policies. Guyana lacks essential structural data collected through agricultural censuses and has no benchmark for regular data collection through surveys. Recognizing the need for a strong agricultural statistical system capable of collecting the data required for evidence-based decision making, the MoA has requested FAO technical assistance to update its National Strategy for Agriculture and prepare a Strategic Plan for Agricultural and Rural Statistics.

    There is broad consensus in Egypt that, despite its achievements, the Sustainable Agricultural Development Strategy ( 2030 needs to be reviewed in a number of areas As an agricultural and rural development strategy aiming to address existing and future challenges, there is a need for the SADS to go beyond a sectoral scope, as interlinkages between agriculture, water, land use, climate change, agro industry, input supply, food security and nutrition are key to determining the outcomes of the overall development process The environment, in particular water, land and climate change, is a sector closely considered within the SADS 2030 The recently developed National Water Resource Plan for Egypt provides an opportunity to endow the SADS 2030 with a well rounded vision and to assesses agricultural development needs with water management provisions In addition, it was agreed that linking agricultural and value chain development might provide a framework for developing more resilient agriculture and rural non farm sectors able to generate better jobs, reduce rural poverty and vulnerability and enhance food security At the outset of the project, specific focus was needed upon the favouring the participation of smallholders in modern value chains, ensuring a smooth exit out of the agricultural sector and employment opportunities in other sectors primarily agrifood processing and distribution for those unable to continue working in agriculture.

    The project successfully fostered climate change adaptation informed planning and budgeting in the agriculture sectors in the 11 target countries. This was achieved by strengthening the capacities of around 5 200 national and sectoral decision makers, representing over 120 institutions across the target countries, in identifying and appraising adaptation options, using tools such as multicriteria assessment, Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), impact evaluation, and vulnerability and risk assessment, to facilitate evidence based decision making in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) process. Strategic capacities to advance adaptation planning and implementation were also reinforced, including on gender mainstreaming, climate finance, mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation of adaptation. In this context, a significant number of guidance materials were developed for policy makers and practitioners, related to different aspects of adaptation planning in agriculture. The project also helped countries to create collaborations with ongoing projects, and unlock innovative sources of climate finance that could support adaptation in their agriculture sectors. In addition, many partnerships and alliances were built with global research organizations, regional expert centres, national universities and civil society organizations.
