ProjectProgramme / project reportSupport to Enhancing Agricultural Productivity and Livelihoods of Farmers through Digital Village Initiatives - TCP/NEP/3902 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The agriculture sector faces several challenges in Nepal, including low productivity, high instability, stress and shocks due to climate change, and lack of labour force, adequate infrastructure and investment Increased agricultural productivity can only be achieved through the transformation of the current agrifood system to a more productive, efficient, sustainable, inclusive, transparent and resilient production system, by improving the existing technological infrastructure, reducing the high costs of technology and low levels of e literacy and digital skills, and enhancing the regulatory framework and access to services Nepal is addressing these issues by enhancing digital capacity and digital services in the agriculture sector, encompassing technological solutions aimed at maximizing yield, and minimizing the use of agricultural inputs However, these digital interventions are guided by some specific objectives and are not well coordinated among concerned agencies and therefore it is not possible to deliver services in an efficient and sustainable manner In addition, there are considerable challenge to introducing and deploying information and communication technology ( technologies in rural communities and to ensure equitable access to ICT technologies for women and youth, marginal and isolated households, and communities.The digital village (DV) ecosystem is one of the options to accelerate digitalization in rural areas. A DV model is a digital ecosystem that provides digital-based solutions, services and innovations to meet the needs of rural and farming communities and their inhabitants, to improve their livelihoods, well-being and promote social stability.Against this background, the MoALD has prioritized digitalization in agricultural development, and requested that FAO provide technical support for the promotion of digital agriculture in Nepal. This project aimed to empower farmers, enhance agricultural productivity, and improve livelihoods by leveraging digital technologies. -
ProjectFactsheetConsolidating School Feeding Programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean - GCP/RLA/223/BRA 2024
Also available in:
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 interrupted the years of international cooperation that sought to achieve food security in Latin America and the Caribbean. Due to the emergency, economic changes occurred in the involvement of institutions in developing School Feeding Programmes (SFPs), food delivery and creating safe classrooms.The project built upon the Government of Brazil’s technical cooperation in the region, supporting the implementation of programmes and public policies to ensure adequate and healthy food for students and their families. It also promoted local economic development through direct purchases from family farmers.This South-South Cooperation in capacity development and gender equality led to a school feeding network in the region. This network involves 26 countries engaging in activities and dialogue on the subject and has contributed to reducing poverty and malnutrition. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportDeveloping Capacities in Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) - GCP/GLO/017/EC 2025
Also available in:
Global agricultural output will need to increase significantly by 2050 to feed a projected global population of about 10 billion. Achieving this within a rapidly changing demographic, socioeconomic, environmental and climate context requires a climate-relevant, productive and sustainable transformation of agrifood systems. However, weak capacity to innovate in many countries is a real obstacle to this transformation. The Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) was launched in 2012 to tackle the constraint of weak capacity for agricultural innovation in low- and middle-income countries in the tropics. To address this, TAP developed a common framework (CF) on capacity development for agricultural innovation systems and several tools, methodologies and guidelines for implementation at country level. From 2015 to 2019, the CF was piloted successfully in eight countries through a project funded by the European Commission. The current project built on the previous project with the aim of scaling up TAP and strengthening AIS that are inclusive, climate-responsive and capable of addressing systemic constraints in agriculture.
