DocumentFinal evaluation of the Improved Global Governance for Hunger Reduction Programme 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This final evaluation (FE) of the Improved Global Governance for Hunger Reduction Programme (IGGHRP) fulfils two main purposes: (i) to ensure accountability towards the Programme Steering Committee and partners, and (ii) to share lessons learned for future EU/FAO/WFP/IFAD collaboration, FAO Strategic Planning and the diverse actors involved with the current programme. The programme was developed building on key lessons learned from previous and ongoing initiatives related to food security and n utrition, many of which were funded by the EU1. One main motivation on the part of the stakeholders was to move from a range of discrete projects to one larger and more strategic global programme aiming at improving food security and nutrition. The programme was to be embedded into FAO Strategic Framework, encouraging interdisciplinary work between divisions and strengthening linkages between FAO’s normative and operational work. This would allow for greater collaboration among the Rome-based ag encies and provide a platform for mainstreaming key cross-cutting issues such as gender and nutrition. The specific objective of the programme, in line with EU priorities and the FAO revised Strategic Framework (2010-2019)2, is “better coordinated and informed food security and nutrition governance at global, regional and national levels”. It is delivered through four interdependent Outcomes: • Outcome 1: Strengthen CFS functioning in accordance with its renewed mandate; • Outcome 2: Improve met hods, capacities and coordination for better information on food security and nutrition for decision-making • Outcome 3: Improve guidance, capacities and coordination for food security and nutrition policy and programme design and implementation • Outcome 4: Strengthen human and organizational capacities in the food security and nutrition domain -
Book (stand-alone)Addressing the climate change and poverty nexus
A coordinated approach in the context of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement
2019Also available in:
No results found.Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. About 736 million people live in extreme poverty, and the global response to climate change today will determine how we feed future generations. By 2030, UN member countries have committed to eradicating extreme poverty and hunger for people everywhere. As ending poverty and hunger are at the heart of FAO’s work, the organization is helping countries develop and implement evidence-based pro-poor policies, strategies and programmes that promote inclusive growth and sustainable livelihoods, as well as to increase the resilience, adaptive and coping capacity of poor and vulnerable communities to climate change. In order to achieve this, FAO encourages an integrated Climate-Poverty Approach to support policy development and action by policymakers, government officials, local-level institutions, communities, researchers, and development and humanitarian agencies worldwide. The Approach has been developed with insights from many perspectives, and includes not only climate and poverty aspects, but also indigenous, gender, food security, disaster response, resilience, SIDS and coastal community perspectives, among others. With a series of policy recommendations and tools to improve the design, delivery, and results of synergies and linkages between climate mitigation and adaptation, poverty reduction and food security actions, these synergies and linkages can make significant contributions towards achieving both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement targets. -
Book (stand-alone)Country gender assessment of agriculture and the rural sector in Fiji 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This Country gender assessment of agriculture and the rural sector provides in-depth insights into the gendered dimensions of agriculture and rural development in Fiji. The policy environment in rural sector ministries is supportive of gender mainstreaming, with clear paths to link policy direction on gender equality to programmes. Recommendations are formulated to progressively advance gender equality and support the empowerment of rural women through policy. In the short term, recommendations are oriented toward community programming that is more equitable, practical and beneficial for women. Developing infrastructure to reduce women’s workloads and facilitate their ability to engage in the cash economy could enhance women’s economic opportunities and contribute to improved family welfare. Promoting the use of radio, texts and social media to allow women to share information on weather, prices, economic opportunities and savings and banking can empower women to make more informed decisions about their activities. Building the gender analysis capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) working in rural sectors on climate change, disaster management and sustainable development will support the engagement of women in community-based decision making. To address gender inequalities in the rural sector and support the empowerment of rural women, a set of concrete recommendations is given. These range from promotion of policy research and analysis to inform policies and strategic planning on gender equality and rural women’s empowerment in ARD to putting in place concrete measures for the improvement of rural women’s access to services, technology, finance, markets and resources.
