ProjectSupport for Establishing Web-Based National Irrigation Database and Water Management Information System (MIS) for Ethiopia - TCP/ETH/3704 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia has been aggressively expanded in order to produce more food for an ever increasing population, increase family incomes, build a climate resilient agricultural production system and boost the national economy However, this expansion has been promoted without proper planning and with no quantification of the available water resources, primarily as a result of inadequate data, exacerbated by inefficient water management To avoid the risk of water shortages and environmental degradation caused by waterlogging and salinization, there is a need for strategies on water resources development and utilization Such strategies must be based on accurate and up to date information on the status of water resources development and agriculture water use, as the agriculture sector is the main water user Little is known about the amount of water abstracted for agriculture and the portion of abstracted water lost through poor water management practices Inconsistent and scattered data are unable to provide the basic information required for appropriate planning, and may also lack authenticity and integrity There is a pressing need for a central information system for the storage, retrieval and analysis of proper datasets, for consistent reporting on the development of the nation’s irrigation systems and for the dissemination of accurate and timely information on various aspects of irrigated agriculture. -

ProjectTechnical Support and Capacity Development for Establishment of Food Security and Nutrition Information System (FSNIS) - TCP/PAK/3707 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Pakistan is a country with abundant natural resources but characterized by a high degree of income inequality and geographic disparity In the last decade, natural and manmade disasters during the last decade have compounded these issues and resulted in further challenges for food and nutrition security, especially in rural areas Although the country is self sufficient in major food crops, 20 5 percent of the population is undernourished and face high poverty rates and rising food prices Data and information that should drive policy making and planned actions towards food security and nutrition are oftentimes unreliable or outdated Consequently, this leaves various stakeholders, such as government ministries, civil society organizations private sector organizations, academia, and development agencies unable to establish a strong strategy towards food security because of a lack of a consolidated and coherent overview of the complex food security and nutrition determinants and outcomes.
