    Technical Assistance for the Strategic Support for Food Security and Nutrition Project in Lao People’s Democratic Republic - UTF/LAO/020/LAO 2022

    This project was formulated to provide technical assistance to a programme entitled “Strategic Support for Food Security and Nutrition Project” (SSFSNP), funded by the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP ). The SSFSNP project had four components: ( i ) strengthened public services; ii) community driven nutrition sensitive agriculture; (iii) sustainable and inclusive market driven partnerships; and (iv) project management. It was implemented in four northern provinces of Lao People’s Democratic Republic, where rates of undernutrition and food insecurity are high, and where the most common economic activities agriculture and the extraction of non timber forest products (NTFPs) are negatively impacted by climate change, land concessions, and unsustainable farming practices and natural resource use. This project, known as the Technical Assistance for Strategic Support for Food Security and Nutrition Project (TA SSFSNP), was designed to support the implementation of components i and iii of the SSFSNP through four distinct Outputs focusing on: the development of a forage programme , the establishment of a project management information system ( ProMIS ), the analysis of seven value chains, and a review of contract farming in the country.

    Enhancing Sustinable Agriculture and Food Security in Rwanda through Technical Assistance - UTF/RWA/037/RWA 2024

    Rwanda has made significant strides towards its development goals over the past decade, with the agricultural sector playing a crucial role in the country's economy. However, despite improvements in crop yields, productivity for major crops like maize and beans remains at only 50 percent of its potential. Land fragmentation and challenging terrain, including steep slopes covering half of the country, pose further obstacles to agricultural productivity. Climate change-related events such as droughts and heavy rains exacerbate these challenges, particularly in rainfed production areas. Additionally, only a small percentage of land with irrigation potential has been developed so far. To address these issues, further investment is needed to increase farm productivity, strengthen the business capacity of small farmers, and enhance market orientation in production. The Sustainable Agricultural Intensification and Food Security Project (SAIP), overseen by the RAB and supported by the WB, aimed to build on the success of previous projects, continuing capacity-building activities for farmers' organizations, increasing access to irrigated water, promoting market access and scaling up nutrition-sensitive and climate-resilient agriculture. Technical assistance provided by FAO through the accompanying TA-SAIP enhanced project performance by incorporating best practices, documenting lessons learned and strengthening the capacities of targeted beneficiaries, with a focus on supporting women and youth in agriculture and agribusiness.
