ProjectStrengthening Institutional and Technical Capacity for Providing Agricultural Services in Dominica - TCP/DMI/3601 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Dominica is faced by a number of challenges in achieving and sustaining its development agenda. These include the relatively small, open economic base and high exposure to the impacts of natural disasters. In the livestock and crop production sectors, laboratory and diagnostic capabilities and the availability of clean planting materials are among the factors determining the achievement of sustainability. The aim of the project was to strengthen diagnostic capabilities and laboratory capacities for plant (nursery production) and for animal pest and disease management. The project would also support the development of a framework for a quality assurance system (QAS) for the production of vigorous pest- and disease-free planting material, as well as the preparation of a procedures manual to lay the foundation for the adoption of a voluntary QAS by nursery operators. Overall, the project was expected to result in improved diagnostic capacity and the production of planting materials of a consistent quality, thus contributing to the sustainability of the agricultural sector. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Strengthening institutions and capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and State Veterinary Inspection Service for Policy Formulation"
Project code: GCP/TAJ/013/EC
2023Also available in:
No results found.The EU-funded project aimed to strengthen institutions and capacities for strategic decision-making, planning, regulation, quality control and management in the food and agriculture sectors, including livestock. The evaluation found that the project was well aligned with the needs and priorities of national stakeholders, with FAO’s strategic objectives and with community beneficiaries. Several strategies, assessments and policy papers were developed, pilot initiatives were started, the Ministry of Agriculture was sensitized to reform processes and its changing role in the context of a market economy. Furthermore, capacities for delivering animal health services have improved considerably and are used. The project managed to navigate across institutional changes, although it suffered from delays that impeded the complete implementation of the pilot initiatives on agrarian reform. Acknowledging FAO’s comparative advantage in assisting the initiation of agrarian reform, the evaluation makes a number of recommendations for a successful policy reform, which include continuing to work closely with all involved ministries and stakeholders at all levels, to guide and steer the process from the start through endorsement; alongside a systematic approach to capacity building and training for involved ministries. -
