ProjectImproving Water Harvesting and Livestock Rearing in Matrouh Governorate, Egypt - GCP/EGY/026/EC 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In the northern part of Matrouh Governorate, Egypt, yields of rain-fed agriculture are very low, owing to the erratic and variable rainfall pattern in the area. Besides the effect on crop production and productivity, the water scarcity challenges of the area and the erratic highly fluctuating rainfall affect the area’s feed supply for livestock, which, in turn, affects the production and reproductive performances of animals. Given that livelihoods in the area depend largely on the rainfall, it was crucial to increase the efficiency of runoff water for human consumption and agricultural use, for both crops and livestock. Against this background, the project aimed to increase the sustainability and productivity of rain-fed agriculture in rural areas and improve the living conditions of the local population, by promoting water harvesting and good crop-related agricultural practices in 38 communities located in four districts in Matrouh Governorate, namely Ras El Hekma, Matrouh, Negila and Barrani. -
DocumentTechno-economic feasibility study for fish smoking enterprise fisheries development project, Hurghada Red Sea Governorate 1982
Also available in:
No results found.One of the objectives of the Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, is to conduct economic and investment research work and studies through the preparation of feasibility studies aiming at developing and modernizing fisheries industries in the participating countries of the project of which the Arab Republic of Egypt is a member. With this objective in mind a feasibility study (RAB/77/008/21) on the technical and economic aspects was prepared for upgrading and expanding the activities of the Fisheries Development Project in Hurghada, Red Sea Governorate. The study centred on adding new fishing units and the establishment of some shore facilities needed for improving and activating productive, servicing and marketing operations. A comprehensive and integrated study was prepared for this purpose complete with financial and economic analysis and evaluation. In response, the Red Sea Governorate has taken some positive steps to implement sections of t he study. The purchase of refrigerated transport trucks, construction of 50 tons capacity cold stores in Hurghada and the ongoing construction of an ice plant of 20 ton/day capacity are among these positive steps. Complementary to these developmental steps, and as the Fisheries Development Project constitutes the basis of planned development, this study has been prepared on the feasibility of establishing a fish smoking unit in Hurghada. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Strengthening the role of women in peacebuilding through natural resources management at the community level in the rural areas of the governorates of Sana’a and Lahaj in Yemen”
Project code: UNJP/YEM/038/PBF
2021Also available in:
No results found.Women have traditionally played a role in water conflict resolution in rural areas. The most transformative change the project has achieved is the institutionalization of this role through the Water User Associations (WUAs) so that women gain further acceptance within their communities. The evaluation found that FAO and IOM should further explore the catalytic effect of this project in sustaining local peace prospects, particularly with an enhanced role for women in conflict resolution, and should build a necessary link to the national peacebuilding efforts. This could be done through a cascading programming, i.e. two-three PBF projects to be designed and implemented sequentially so they can have a better chance to contribute to higher order outcomes. The successful resolution of water conflicts and the restoration of water infrastructure through the CfW component had a direct effect on increased crop production and income of farmers. The measures in place to promote the sustainability of the project and the continuation of improved agriculture once the project has come to an end rely on the increased capacity of WUAs to use their conflict resolution skills, maintain the sites and find further support. Youth were not explicitly targeted in conflict resolution activities but they represented the majority of the beneficiaries of cash for work (CfW) activities. FAO and IOM should have a targeted approach if they are to work on youth, peace and security. They should also do a thorough assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of CfW on the Yemen context before rolling about a programme-wide CfW or cash transfer activities in Yemen.
