    The FAO and the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) of the Ministry of Agriculture of India have called this meeting to gauge how scientific progress on foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is changing the potential for control of the disease in South Asia and potentially, in areas with similar disease risk. The main themes are the potential of current FMD research for the development of improved vaccines and vaccination programmes; the optimization of control programmes based on comprehensive assessments of FMD epidemiology and of control options; regionally co-ordinated FMD programmes; and the growing FMD scientific output from Eurasia, which has the potential to create new and greater levels of control if public policy makes good use of the best science. This book of abstracts provides a guide to the main papers presented during the meeting.

    Secuestro de carbono en tierras áridas 2007
    Also available in:
    Este informe está dirigido a revisar y resumir la información existente sobre el secuestro de carbono, con el fin de analizar como los recursos disponibles y los programas específicos se pueden implementar en las tierras áridas que constituyen las regiones con mayor degradación del suelo en el mundo. Otras publicaciones de la FAO generadas a través de este programa han considerado otros aspectos del secuestro de carbono; aspectos metodológicos relacionados con la supervisión y cuantifi cación del carbono, opciones de secuestro de carbono para manejar la degradación de la tierra bajo el Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio, aspectos generales del secuestro de carbono y proyectos específicos de secuestro de carbono. Por medio de este análisis, el documento busca remarcar los problemas e incertidumbres actuales y generar recomendaciones para el desarrollo de estrategias específicas y políticas que puedan implementarse en las tierras áridas para mejorar el manejo de la tierr a, que a su vez mejora el secuestro de carbono.

    Integrating gender into the design of cash transfer and public works programmes – FAO Technical Guide 2
    A Toolkit on gender-sensitive social protection programmes to combat rural poverty and hunger
    2018
    Also available in:
    Many social protection programmes, including cash transfers, public works programmes and asset transfers, target women as main beneficiaries or recipients of benefits. Extending social protection to rural populations has great potential for fostering rural women’s economic empowerment. However, to tap into this potential, more needs to be done. There is much scope for making social protection policies and programmes more gender sensitive and for better aligning them with agricultural and rural development policies to help address gender inequalities. Recognizing this potential and capitalizing on existing evidence, FAO seeks to enhance the contribution of social protection to gender equality and women’s empowerment by providing country-level support through capacity development, knowledge generation and programme support.To move forward this agenda, FAO has developed the Technical Guidance Toolkit on Gender-sensitive Social Protection Programmes to Combat Rural Poverty and Hunger. The Toolkit is designed to support SP and gender policy-makers and practitioners in their efforts to systematically apply a gender lens to SP programmes in ways that are in line with global agreements and FAO commitments to expand inclusive SP systems for rural populations. The Toolkit focuses on the role of SP in reducing gendered social inequalities, and rural poverty and hunger.
