ProjectFactsheetTechnical Assistance to Develop GCF Projects on Climate Resilience and Improved Livelihoods in Malawi, Eswatini and Zambia - TCP/SFS/3805 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Countries in Southern Africa are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, facing significant threats to livelihoods, health, food security, and the environment. Despite efforts to combat climate change through national policies, strategies, and action plans, many of these remain largely unimplemented due to difficulties in accessing and mobilizing necessary climate investments. Limited technical and financial capacity at the national level further complicate the development of effective climate change investment proposals. In response to these issues, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as an Accredited Entity to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), collaborates with governments to provide technical assistance in formulating and implementing GCF projects. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Aquaculture Development and Aquaculture and Fisheries Post-Harvest Value Chains in Central Asia - GCP/SEC/013/TUR 2024
Also available in:
No results found.In Central Asia, the aquaculture and fisheries sectors remain largely underdeveloped. Despite recent increases in production over the past ten years, their contribution to national economies remains limited. However, these sectors tend to feature small-scale enterprises and traditional fishing communities, and therefore make significant contributions to livelihoods, rural poverty alleviation and food security. In recent years fish consumption in the region has been slowly increasing, a trend that has been attributed to enhanced aquaculture production, which, while increasing the availability of fish products has also lowered prices. Governments across the region are recognizing the potential for the aquaculture sector to support economic growth, improve livelihoods and food security, and as a result, they are starting to prioritize sector development. Despite the potential for aquaculture development across the region, the current growth of the sector in many countries remains limited. In view of this, the project was implemented as a regional programme to support aquaculture development and aquaculture and fisheries post-harvest value chains in seven countries (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). -
ProjectFactsheetSupport for the Development of Aquaculture Professions in Morocco - GCP/MOR/054/NOR 2023
Also available in:
The project was part of the continuing efforts implemented by the Kingdom of Morocco in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, in line with the Halieutisstrategy. Its objective was to meet growing demand for technical assistance from aquaculture operators and to develop a skilled workforce for the management of planned farms off the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. The project, which was to be implemented in two phases, was designed with a view to establishing two demonstration/training stations off Sidi Ifni through a public-private partnership, in fish and shellfish farming respectively. These facilities will serve as a practical basis for the training of trainers, specialized and skilled workers across all aquaculture trades, and will be combined with theoretical training at the Maritime Professional Qualification Center (MPQC) in Sidi Ifni.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookFood loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17. They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses. Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
