DocumentEvaluation reportFinal evaluation of the project: Establishing a sustainable National Information and Early Warning System (NIEWS) on Food Security in Timor-Leste
Management Response. February 2016
2016Also available in:
No results found.The report explicitly explains the observations and thoughts of the Evaluation Team (ET) particularly summarizing important points from project design to the sustainability of NIEWS, particularly the emphasis on the institutional set-up of the project that was rated as well conceived, as it promoted the ownership of NIEWS by MAF. Recommendations were provided for every category, although some were overlapping that will guide follow-up or future actions on NIEWS. Given a very short visit the ET w as able to analyze and capture project progress and clearly pointed out the important achievements of the NIEWS, despite the challenges encountered during project implementation. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Global Early Warning - Early Action System (EWEA) report on food security and agriculture is developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through its EWEA. The system aims to translate forecasts and early warnings into anticipatory action. The Global EWEA report is a quarterly forward-looking analytical summary of major disaster risks to food security and agriculture. This report specifically highlights: HIGH RISK: Yemen (risk of famine), South Sudan (risk o f famine due to conflict), Nigeria – northeast (risk of famine due to conflict), Somalia (risk of famine due to drought), Democratic Republic of Congo (localized conflict), Kenya & Ethiopia (drought). ON WATCH: Africa – Fall Armyworm (outbreak), Uganda (displacement), Sri Lanka (prolonged drought and localized floods), Central African Republic (escalation of localized conflict driving displacements), Chad (displacement and deteriorating food security) and El Niño (droughts, floods and cyclones). -
Book (series)Technical reportGlobal Early Warning – Early Action Report on Food Security and Agriculture
January - March 2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.The Global Early Warning - Early Action System Report on food security and agriculture is developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through its Early Warning/Early Action System (EWEA). The System is developed by FAO to translate forecasts and early warnings into anticipatory action. The aim of EWEA is to enable FAO to act early before disasters take place to mitigate or even prevent their impact. By lessening damages to livelihoods and protecting assets and investments, FAO can help local livelihoods become more resilient to threats and crises. The Global EWEA report is a quarterly forward-looking analytical summary of the major disaster risks to food security and agriculture. The report highlights specifically two kinds of contexts: Potential new emergencies caused by an imminent disaster threats; and countries currently facing protracted crises or already in the response stage of an emergency. The risk of a significant deterioration of the situation with a severe impact on food security and/or agriculture is also covered. For this kind of risk, the analysis will focus on the additional risk factors which would, either alone or in combination with others, lead to a substantial deterioration of the situation.

Book (series)Technical studyPacific oyster farming
A practical manual
2024Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of this manual is to give the reader a foundation of practical knowledge regarding all aspects of Pacific oyster cultivation. It is targeted at new entrants to the market wishing to establish a farm, and existing operators who wish to develop their farms and explore new cultivation techniques. The methodologies described can be applied both to low-tech, low budget, small-scale farming operations and to high-tech, big budget, industrial-scale aquaculture production enterprises. This guide focuses on the functional expertise and technical equipment required to construct and manage an operational farm in the diverse environmental and physical locations in which they can be situated, from the initial stages of finding and selecting a suitable site, to the conclusion of the first production cycle and harvesting the crop. The manual contains a brief introduction which describes the relevance of the species with regards to global aquaculture production figures and how it can form an important part of future food production strategies. Chapter 2 describes the anatomy and biology of Crassostrea gigas and gives an indication as to the environmental conditions in which the species thrives as well as the pathologies and predators that can result in poor health leading to potential mortalities. Chapter 3 deals with all aspects of undertaking a survey of potential oyster farming sites and what data should be collected and examined to assess a site’s suitability, but also which areas are best suited to different cultivation techniques. After this, Chapter 4 introduces the main farming techniques that will be described in detail in the following chapters, which includes off-bottom cultivation, on-bottom cultivation, and suspended cultivation, and gives details of some of the most common cultivation equipment necessary to undertake these operations. The techniques and strategies necessary to procure seed oysters and how to develop them through the nursery stage are also introduced. This includes the basic principles of upwelling, which then leads into Chapter 5, which provides a detailed description of how to build and operate one particular example of a Floating Upwelling System (Flupsy) which is suitable for use in remote but sheltered conditions. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 constitute the main body of the manual and provide an in-depth look into the three major cultivation techniques that this guide concentrates on: “Farming with trestles and bags in the intertidal zone”, “On-bottom cultivation in the intertidal or subtidal zone” and “Offshore longline cultivation”. -
