No results found.The HASTEN project aims to generate transformational changes in people, processes and markets by strengthening capacities for sustainable agrifood systems transformation across Africa, through the development of new skills to cope with complex, multilevel, multi-sectoral and multistakeholder governance, SDG integration and cross-cutting themes such as inclusion, gender, youth and environmental sustainability. The project is co-led by the FAO Office of Sustainable Development Goals (OSG), FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF), Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE) and the Subregional Office for West Africa (SFW), and will be implemented in close collaboration with FAO Country Offices in Lesotho, Rwanda and Sierra Leone.This inception meeting intends to set the groundwork for the HASTEN project, consolidating its workplan, accountability mechanisms and effective engagement of potential national stakeholders. A key tool to be discussed and validated during the meeting is a questionnaire designed to map core capacity andeducational gaps necessary for SDG-based agrifood systems transformation and education in the three implementation countries: Rwanda, Lesotho, and Sierra Leone. -

Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Empowering youth at risk as resources for sustaining peace and community resilience in Tonkolili and Kenema districts in Sierra Leone"
Project code: UNJP/SIL/052/PBF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report concerns the evaluation of the PBF-funded project jointly implemented by FAO, UNDP and UNFPA to support youth at risk in Sierra Leone to reintegrate into their community and families, and at the same time, advocate for institutional reforms that address the core question of recruitment of youth into cliques and gangs. It aims to inform the project stakeholders and other interested parties about project achievements and lessons learned. The project effectively helped support the economic and social empowerment of youth at risk and strengthen trust between beneficiaries and their communities. However, weaknesses such as failure to finish and deliver youth livelihood facilities and materials and the absence of clear communication reduced the sustainability of gains and the likelihood of impact. It is recommended to complete all project activities and engage exit plan, streamline future procurement mechanisms and process, engage systems that encourage local contractors, start drug and alcohol counselling at commencement of project, incorporate mental health and psychosocial counselling, encourage better data collection as part of project monitoring, and consider a longer-term timeframe for programming.
