Emergency response to households affected by the earthquake and Tropical Storm Grace
2021Also available in:
No results found.On 14 August, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit the southern regions of Haiti, in particular the departments of Grand’Anse, Nippes and Sud. Two days later, Tropical Storm Grace’s torrential rains caused floods and landslides in the same departments affected by the earthquake, as well as in Sud-Est. Preliminary reports from the Departmental Directorates of Agriculture and FAO's partners indicate widespread damages to the agricultural sector. FAO’s urgent call for funding aims at providing a response to affected populations, by protecting and restoring the livelihoods of 32 000 rural households (160 000 people) affected by the earthquake and Storm Grace. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookTracking Adaptation in Agricultural Sectors 2017
Also available in:
No results found.Tracking adaptation processes and outcomes is a continuous process which also encompasses monitoring and evaluation – one of the important elements of the climate change adaptation. A detailed review of existing literature on adaptation tracking tools showed a number of challenges and limitations related to their application in agricultural sectors. Though some of the tools are technically sound, practical use is constrained by non-availability of adequate baseline data and information. In addit ion, several of these frameworks are individual project specific, complex and thus seldom contribute to better informed policy level decisions and adaptation planning. This paper outlines the importance of tracking adaptation in the context of the implementation of the Paris Agreement and provides a flexible and consistent indicator framework for tracking adaptation in agricultural sectors (includes agriculture, forestry and fisheries and aquaculture) at national level. The framework is based on the recognition that adaptation should be tracked by analyzing a number of different indicators across agricultural sub-sectors. -
