Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalysis of the agricultural insurance system in Serbia and recommendations for better effectiveness 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The main purpose of this document is to provide recommendations of changes needed to ensure the effectiveness of the agricultural insurance system, including identification of international best practices that could be applicable to Serbia. Prior to compiling this report, a desktop review of the current status of agricultural insurance and related legislative and normative documents in Serbia was conducted. The main legislative documents regulating agricultural insurance, including the Insurance Law, Obligations Law, Hail Protection Law, the Law on Agricultural and Rural Development Subsidies, and the Law on Reconstruction Following Natural and Other Hazards, were analysed. The key regulatory and normative documents have been reviewed, including the rulebook on the conditions, manner and form of application for exercising the right to subsidies for the insurance premium for crops, fruits, perennial crops, nurseries and animals; the regulation on the distribution of incentives in agriculture and rural development in 2020; and the guidelines on minimal standards of conduct and good practice of insurance market participants. The project team reviewed the regulations on the distribution of incentives in agriculture and rural development from the previous years (2016–2019) and made a comparative analysis of the changes and modifications per each year as related to agricultural insurance. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookUrban stakeholder analysis for food waste prevention and reduction in Sri Lanka 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Mapping stakeholders and their potential roles for prevention and reduction of food waste (FW) supports a coherent, coordinated and complementary approach to quantification, causes identification, and scaling up of feasible solutions for significant returns on investment. State and non-state stakeholders were mapped in selected municipalities: Colombo metropolitan area (Colombo, Sri Jayewardenepura-Kotte, Negombo, Kaduwela, and Moratuwa Municipal council areas), Jaffna, Kandy, Batticoloa, Kurunegala, and Galle. Stakeholders were grouped into four clusters: producers, enterprises/food business operators, private/public/civil society organizations, and households. The stakeholders’ maps guided sensitization and capacity-building sessions whose conclusions fed into the preparation of the National Roadmap on Urban Food Waste Prevention and Reduction for Households, Food services, Retailers, and Wholesalers launched on 17 August 2021. According to the analysis, the institutions working on food and/or (bio-)waste can be divided into governmental, semi-governmental, private, and non-governmental. Food safety, quality control, and waste management in Sri Lanka is under the umbrella of the Central Government, Provincial Council (PC), and Local Authorities (LAs) that cover governance (e.g. policies and regulations), production, trade, input supply, services, welfare support, and research. However, duties and responsibilities are, sometimes, crosscutting and interrelated with overlaps that can lead to poor coordination. An array of institutions at central and provincial levels are engaged to strengthen the food production sector in Sri Lanka. The existing inter-institutional coordination mechanism could be improved. The coordination for knowledge generation and dissemination between national and provincial systems should be strengthened. The report was produced for the project "Innovative approaches to reduce, recycle, and reuse FW in urban Sri Lanka", implemented under the oversight of the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) from June 2019 to August 2021. -
