DocumentOther documentThe Carbon Footprint of the Agricultural Growth Project (AGP) in Ethiopia: An Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT)
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 118
2012Also available in:
No results found.This module presents a Case Study of a Carbon-Balance Appraisal for an investment programme. It is useful for people who wish to improve their skills on how to estimate the climate change mitigation potential of agricultural programmes/projects and how to integrate it into the economic analysis of projects. This case is part of a set of documents which intend to provide support project developers in the process of learning and applying the EX-Ante Carbon balance Tool (EX-ACT). More specifically, the EX-ACT application was tested on a FAO Programme in Madagascar and the results are demonstrated in this Case Study, which consists of a brief description of the project, guidelines for structuring project data and an appendix with project data. -
DocumentOther documentThe Carbon Balance of the World Bank-financed Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Project of the Government of Rwanda: Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance tool (EX-ACT)
Applied Work. EASYPol Module 121
2012Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach. -

DocumentOther documentValuing Services: An Analysis of the Ability and Willingness to Protect Forest-based Environmental Services in the Asia-Pacific 2009
Also available in:
No results found.Considering that the Asia-Pacific region is a diverse area, this paper provides a variety of cases to illustrate the extent to which people are willing and able to protect forest-based ecosystem services depending on socioeconomic conditions. Scenarios presented suggest that higher income countries will have much greater scope in protecting forest environmental services that low income countries. -

Book (series)Technical studyRift Valley fever
Vigilance needed in the coming months
2012Also available in:
No results found.Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic, viral, vector-borne disease that represents a threat to human health, animal health and livestock production in Africa, and potentially Europe, the Near East and the rest of the world. RVF virus belongs to the Bunyaviridae family, in the Phlebovirus genus, and is transmitted by a very large number of genera and species of arthropods, especially from the genus Aedes (which is considered the primary vector) and Culex, as well as Anopheles...
