DocumentCluster evaluation of two right to food projects - Annexes
Err:509
2015Also available in:
No results found.The right to food has been recognized as a human right since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, in numerous binding and nonbinding legal instruments, notably Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). However, guidance on its implementation was not available until 2004 when, after two years of negotiations under the umbrella of FAO, Member States adopted the “Voluntary Guidelines to Support the Progressive Realization of the Right t o Adequate Food in the Context of National Food Security” (RtFG), the only intergovernmental text clarifying the concrete measures that States should take to implement the human right to adequate food. Since then, FAO’s Right to Food team has supported the implementation of the guidelines as one of the most authoritative and complete guiding documents available for building a sound, national human rights-based food security and nutrition (FSN) framework. Over the years, FAO has been promoting th e Guidelines through dedicated staff (the Right to Food Team in ESA, legal officer in LEG and staff in decentralized offices), the delivery of policy assistance to States and the publication of a number of studies and a toolkit. Operationally, the Right to Food Team conducted a number of specific operational projects at regional and country levels. -

Project code: GCP/BOL/046/GFF – GEF ID: 4577
2023Also available in:
No results found.The objectives of this project were: keeping agrobiodiversity in situ in five macro-ecoregions and improving the livelihoods of local populations; and managing and taking advantage of agrobiodiversity to sustainably improve food and nutritional security with improved access of Indigenous populations and local communities to nutritional and diversified diets. Some of the highlighted best practices were: the recovery of ancestral knowledge; encouraging the valuing of agrobiodiversity (the promotion of conservation and sustainable use of resources) and food security; the active participation of Indigenous Peoples in the project; and the project contribution to helping close gender gaps. To ensure projects’ sustainability, coordination between the various government agencies with competence in the issue of agrobiodiversity must be encouraged and maintained. -
Book (series)The new generation of watershed management programmes and projects
A resource book for practitioners and local decision-makers based on the findings and recommendations of a FAO review
2006On the occasion of the International Year of Mountains-2002, FAO and its partners undertook a large-scale assessment and global review of the current status and future trends of integrated and participatory watershed management. The overall objectives were to promote the exchange and dissemination of experiences in implementing watershed management projects in the decade from 1990 to 2000 and to identify the vision for a new generation of watershed management programmes and projects. This resour ce book represents a summary and critical analysis of the rich discussions and vast materials that emerged during the review, as well as the review's findings and recommendations. It presents the state of the art in watershed management, promotes further reflection and creative thinking and proposes new ideas and approaches for future watershed management programmes and projects. This publication has been written primarily for field-level watershed management practitioners and local decision-mak ers involved in watershed management at the district or municipality level. It will also be a useful source of information for other readers such as senior officers and consultants specialized in other areas, evaluators, policy-makers and students of watershed management.
