    Also available in:
    No results found.

    In Lao PDR, agricultural innovation has the potential to improve livelihoods of farmers and rural people, improve food and nutrition security, and allow for sustainable management of natural resources. In order to enable innovation, a  well-functioning national Agriculture Innovation System (AIS) should encourage better coordination among the different stakeholders, including national organizations and the private sector. The present assessment report provides a comprehensive understanding of the current status of the national AIS in Lao PDR and identifies the main entry points for strengthening capacity of key organizations and stakeholders of the national AIS. A comprehensive methodology was used to analyze the AIS functions, structures, enabling environment, and system capacities.  In addition, two case studies - Thong Mang Agricultural Cooperative (TMAC) and the Lao Farmer Network (LFN) were used to understand innovation processes in the Lao agriculture sector and provided a framework to explore partnerships and processes among the government, development partners, private sector actors, farmers and other operators in the agricultural sector. The recommendations based on the assessment results include: (1) making more effort to encourage and support agriculture innovation to make progress in a competitive environment; (2) increasing investment or funding in research and extension to underpin agricultural innovation; (3) enhancing effective management and use of water as well as helping farmers access water for production, particularly for organic vegetables; (4) developing necessary and related capacity with a focus on soft skills to unleash innovations.

    FAO has been working closely with the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) and other development partners in the fight against poverty in the country. More specifically, FAO has been supporting the Government’s efforts at combating hunger and malnutrition and will continue to provide such assistance with a view to achieving the primary goal of freeing Ethiopia from such food-related problems. FAO’s work is aimed at creating a situation where agriculture significantly contributes to the improveme nt of the livelihood of farmers, in general, and the living conditions of the poorest small holder farmers, women, children, youth and other marginalized segments of the society, in particular. FAO maintains the view that the agriculture sector can and should be used in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner to help improve the life of such vulnerable groups. The value of the present Country Programming Framework (CPF) document, which is coauthored by FAO and the GoE, lies in its role in sharpening FAO’s focus and guiding its efforts for the next four years (2012-2015).
