Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetPromoting economic growth and social stability in vulnerable agricultural communities in the Tubas governorate 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The rationale of the project is to strengthen farmer producers’ associations and to expand and intensify agriculture production, in order to increase opportunities for decent employment and promote social stability in the Tubas area. Social instability in Tubas governorate has been a consequence of limited and untapped potential in the area due to restrictions on access to and use of land and water resources, coupled with limited access to agricultural service and markets, especially at the post-harvest stage. Through a preliminary assessment conducted in consultation with the local communities, several challenges were identified as constraints to realization of the full development potential of this area. Among these challenges, particularly important are the limited operational and technical capacities of producers’ associations to sustain the modernization of the production and post-harvest practices. This is coupled with limited capacities for managing other constraints related to ownership fragmentation and market access. Given the untapped potential of these producers’ associations, their role in improving the economic and social stability of small-scale producers is still very limited. Limited access to effective services and weak capacities are constraining the ability of farmers in the area to optimize their productive potential. More specifically, this limits their ability to improve and diversify their production, utilize value-adding post-harvest and processing services, and access more profitable and sustainable markets. Addressing these issues would encourage further investments and generate employment opportunities. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetRural Social Protection - Promoting resilient livelihoods and the economic potential of the rural poor and vulnerable 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Three-quarters of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people live in rural areas. They are predominantly family farmers (including youth, fishers and foresters) with few to no assets, engaged in low-quality, low-paid labour, dependent on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihoods. They struggle to access social and financial services, infrastructure, markets or innovative technologies and practices, preventing advancement to more efficient, sustainable and productive livelihoods. They are particularly vulnerable to economic, climatic and conflict-related risks and shocks. Such shocks can have devastating impacts on income and livelihoods, and push people into negative coping strategies, such as the sale of productive assets, over-deforestation or cutting the quality of children’s diets, exacerbating the cycle of food insecurity and poverty. Women and girls face extra challenges due to gender-related inequalities. FAO is working to support governments and key stakeholders in expanding basic social-protection coverage to protect the world’s poorest and most marginalized. Access to social protection has not only been proven to keep people from hunger and extreme poverty, but can also enhance their livelihood options, most of which are agriculture-related. -
