To strengthen regional capacities and to enhance regional information exchange and to build the framework for the adaptation of pathways for increasing water productivity in selected farming systems of the beneficiary countries

Strengthened producer organizations (POs) can help SSFF overcome the barriers they face and develop innovative organizational arrangements that broaden their capabilities. Given the wide range of services that inclusive and efficient POs can provide to their members, these organizations are essential for a thriving agricultural sector and for boosting rural economies. They enable farmers to benefit from an array of services including access and management of natural resources, markets, credits, inputs and information as well as influencing policy-making processes. POs are a vehicle to encourage rural populations to remain in their territories instead of migrating to urban centers or to other countries. For this, governments have a critical role to play in creating conducive conditions by enabling collective action of producers to form and thrive. These conditions include developing transparent and sound regulatory frameworks, a conducive investment climate, as well as facilitating the creation of frameworks and policy dialogue spaces between governments and various stakeholders.

The project responds to the concerns of the region in terms of stabilizing the food situation, in general and the food security, in particular, while also advocating for the conservation of the fast degrading and depleting natural resources, particularly water resources. The project responds also to the various regional initiatives that are being articulated by Arab Governments including, the Strategy for Sustainable Arab Agricultural Development for the Upcoming Two Decades (2005-2025), and other resolutions involving Arab member states, LAS specialized agencies (AOAD and ACSAD) and United Nations organizations serving the Arab region through various mechanisms including the Council of Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment (CAMRE) and its technical committee, the Joint Committee on Environment and Development in the Arab Region (JCEDAR), the Arab Ministerial Water Council (AMWC) among others. The project will partly build upon the outputs and experience of the SIDA financed RICCAR.

Generate and collect data to document the changing dietary habits in the Mediterranean Basin as well as their drivers. (Tunisia and Lebanon) Assess food consumption patterns in these two selected countries by using available food consumption surveys and food balance sheets/supply utilization accounts. Calculate country-specific consumption patterns and trends, in terms of dietary energy, protein, fat, and selected micronutrients. 4 Assess these consumption patterns for their adherence with Mediterranean diet. 5 Develop a conceptual framework to improve adherence to the Mediterranean diet pattern Presentation at a workshop at the end of the project hosted at the Ministry of Health. PHASE 2 (2017-2018) Extension of the project to other countries.

Countries are supported to develop evidence-based food losses and waste reduction programmes at national, regional and global levels; Governments and relevant stakeholders are provided with support to promote inclusive, efficient and sustainable agrifood value chains

The Near East Regional Componente directly addresses the three pillars forming the foundation of the Global Strategy: 1. Establishing a minimum set of core data that countries will disseminate on a regular basis to meet current and emerging demands; 2. Integrating agriculture into national statistical systems in order to meet the requirements of policy makers and other data users that statistical information be linked across the economic, social, and environmental domains ; 3. Fostering the sustainability of the agricultural statistical systems through governance and statistical capacity building.
