    Rapid Assessment of Aid Flows for Agricultural Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
    FAO Investment Centre Discussion Paper
    2009
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This discussion paper provides an initial assessment of the flow of aid to agriculture in Sub- Saharan Africa. This assessment is based on data on Official Development Assistance (ODA) collected from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) databases (as it was available in April 2009), major bilateral and multilateral financing agencies, as well as two private foundations active in the agriculture sector. Trends in ODA show a long-term decline in agricultural ODA to Sub -Saharan Africa, particularly in relation to social sectors. In recent years, however, ODA to the agriculture sector has increased and there is more financing for agriculture than usually assumed if aid flows from private foundations are included. Findings from the data also highlight the need for: balancing shortterm food security interventions with long productivity investments; a focus on aid harmonization due to numerous donors in the sector; and the potential problem of absorptive capacity due to low disbursement rates by aid recipients.

    The FAOSTAT development flows to agriculture (DFA) domain is an important component of agricultural investment financing statistics which also includes government expenditures on agriculture, foreign direct investment (FDI) in agriculture and credit to agriculture. The domain provides readily available data to enable analysis on aid flows and the purposes they serve, with an emphasis on agriculture, its components, and environmental protection.Development flows to agriculture increased marginally from USD 18.0 billion in 2022 to USD 18.2 billion in 2023, following a record-high growth of 35 percent in 2022. Africa received in 2023 the largest share of DFA (49 percent), followed by Asia (28 percent). Combined, the two regions’ share rose from 73 percent in 2014 to 77 percent in 2023.

    FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022
    Also available in:
    The 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.

    What will be needed to realize the vision of a world free from hunger and malnutrition? After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary. The present study was undertaken for the quadrennial review of FAO’s strategic framework and for the preparation of the Organization Medium-Term plan 2018-2021.
