    The Manual for the operations of the National Designated Authority for engagement with the Green Climate Fund was prepared by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, under the leadership and guidance of the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs as National Designated Authority to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). This Manual aims to provide guidance to the National Designated Authority (NDA) on the engagement with the GCF on its operations and roles to facilitate the implementation of climate change activities in North Macedonia. The Manual introduces key facts about access windows to GCF, the fund’s processes, investment areas and requirements.

    The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.

    Surveillance de la fièvre de la Vallée du Rift
    Manuel de production et santé animale FAO no. 21.
    2019
    Also available in:
    Le virus de la fièvre de la Vallée du Rift, un agent transmis par les moustiques, entrainent des fièvres hémorragiques chez les humains, et des avortements et morts néonatales chez le bétail. Certaines épidémies ont entrainé l’effondrement de marchés nationaux et, par le passé, des embargos commerciaux régionaux. La géographie de l’infection et de la maladie clinique est en expansion. Le changement climatique devrait accélérer cette tendance. La repartition géographique connue du virus est déjà plus grande que celle où la maladie clinique est connue. Une surveillance efficace est essentielle pour limiter l’impact de la FVR sur les vies, les moyens de subsistance et les économies nationales. Ce manuel de surveillance de la FVR fournit des lignes directives basées sur le risque pour élaborer, planifier et mettre en place une surveillance participative et syndromique efficace. Il s’appuie sur des approches proposées dans le Guide de la surveillance de la santé des animaux terrestres de l’OIE et le Cadre de Soutien Décisionnel de la FVR. Il vous indique comment utiliser ces lignes directives en fonction des besoins épidémiologiques de chaque pays, en commençant par fixer des objectifs adaptés. Les objectifs de surveillance de la FVR doivent être en accord avec la catégorie de risque du pays et les objectifs économiques. Ensuite, la sélection des indicateurs et des méthodes les mieux adaptés coule de source. Ce manuel n’est pas normatif. A la place, il propose des questions pour vous aider à construire un système de surveillance pertinent et sensible adapté aux objectifs nationaux et aux ressources disponibles.
