Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIraq: Restoration of agriculture and irrigation water systems sub-programme (2018–2020)
FAO’s component of the United Nations’ Recovery and Resilience Programme
2018Also available in:
No results found.There is a strong imperative to rebuild Iraq’s agriculture sector as it is a major provider of employment and income in rural and peri-urban areas. This will allow for the return of millions of internally displaced people (IDP) in Iraq to their areas of origin, following the retaking of Iraqi areas that used to be under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) – i.e. all or parts of the five affected governorates of Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Salah al-Din. The impact of conflict caused by ISIL on the agriculture sector has been devastating and includes huge population movements, destruction of and damage to water systems, irrigation facilities and other agricultural infrastructure, disruption of value chains and losses of personal assets, crop and livestock production and food supplies. In response, the Government of Iraq has developed the Iraq Reconstruction and Development Framework (IRFD), which contributes to the Iraq Vision 2030 and National Development Plan (2018–2022). Guided by IRFD, Iraq’s United Nations Country Team (UNCT) formulated the Recovery and Resilience Programme (RRP), which prioritizes three (out of nine ) components to be implemented in the retaken areas with high priority: (i) preventing violent extremism; (ii) restoring communities; and (iii) restoring agriculture and water systems. The RRP was presented at the Kuwait International Conference for Iraq's Reconstruction in February 2018, which was jointly organized by the Government of Iraq, the World Bank and the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development. -

Oil-for-Food Programme. SCR 986 OSRO/IRQ/607/DHA
2003Also available in:
No results found.The document presents a vision for the formulation of a strategy for the transition from relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction to sustainable agricultural development in Iraq. The strategy aims at answering such questions as: "What does it take to put the Iraqi food and agricultural sector back on the development track?" And how could FAO and the international community collaborate with the Iraqi people in rebuilding the country?" The document is divided into three parts: Part I entitled "T owards a Strategy for Sustainable Agricultural Development: the Transitional Process". This section presents a methodological approach for the transitional process. Under this methodology, a step-by-step approach is proposed. The approach includes the following phases: conducting a comprehensive needs assessment analysis; carrying out sub-sectoral needs assessment; developing a programme approach for the transitional process including short, medium and longer-term policy measures; analysing targ eting vulnerable groups; adopting the FAO Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) approach for the longer term perception; setting-up temporal (overtime) and spatial (regional) priorities; establishing a mechanism for co-ordinated actions; and based on the above formulating a road map for the transitional process.

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.

The main challenge for food systems is to produce nutritious food for all while preserving our biodiversity and environment and ensuring equitable distribution of wealth. This Food Systems Profile provides a summary of the main food system issues in Lebanon and highlights potential solutions for their sustainable and inclusive transformation. It is the result of a systemic analysis and stakeholders' consultation that was part of a global assessment of food systems in over 50 countries, following a joint initiative by the EU, FAO, and CIRAD which aims at catalyzing the sustainable and inclusive transformation of food systems. -
