Also available in:
Continuous civil strife since 1988 has seriously disrupted the Somali economy and damaged most of the country's infrastructure. A large proportion of the population has been displaced. The disastrous floods in late 1997 dealt an added blow to the fragile food security situation by causing extensive damage to infrastructure and property and substantial crop and livestock losses. Against this background a team composed of an FAO/GIEWS staff member, an FAO consultant agrometeorologist and an agrono mist from the Food Security Assessment Unit in Nairobi (FSAU), visited southern Somalia from 27 to 30 May 1998 to review the findings of the current season assessment carried out by the FSAU team of national agronomists. Two workshops were held in Beletweyne (Hiraan) and Merka (Lower Shebelle), where field visits were undertaken. The review was also facilitated by information obtained from earlier low flying inspections over agricultural areas by the WFP agronomist and the FAO agrometeorologist. The Northwestern regions (Somaliland) were visited in mid-June by the FSAU agronomist and the findings are included in this report.

Also available in:
No results found.The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital. -
