le projet vise à contribuer aux objectifs fixés par le Gouvernement, à savoir l?amélioration des revenus des petits agriculteurs ainsi que la diversification et la promotion des exportations agricoles, tout en permettant à l?Algérie de disposer de la confiance des pays destinataires et d?être admise à l'instar des pays déjà reconnus sur le marché européen de l?huile d?olive biologique. comme effet direct, le projet permettra l?initiation et la mise en place, dans cinq zones pilotes (Tizi-Ouzou, Batna, Tlemcen, Tipaza et Jijel), d?un modèle de développement intégré biologique autour de l?oléiculture des zones montagneuses. comme produits, il est attendu: - Un diagnostic institutionnel et technique de la situation actuelle de la filière huile d?olive biologique est réalisé et une stratégie de conversion vers le mode bio est élaborée; - Les capacités des acteurs clés : chercheurs, développeurs et agriculteurs sont renforcées et un modèle de plan de marketing pour la promotion des produits Oléicoles biologiques est développé; - Un projet de plan national pour le développement du secteur de l?huile d?olive biologique est formulé.

? Améliorer les connaissances dans la mobilisation de la ressource en eau à petite échelle ? Mettre en place de nouvelles techniques de mobilisation de la ressource en eau notamment la collecte des eaux de pluie ? Minimiser les coûts de mobilisation de la ressource en eau ? Mieux gérer la ressource en eau au niveau des petites exploitations agricoles ? Maitriser les techniques économiques d?eau au niveau des petites exploitations agricoles ? Réduire la pression sur la ressource en eau.

Le Ministère de l'Agriculture et du Développement Rural et de la Pêche place la mécanisation agricole au c?ur de ses priorités agricoles pour le prochain quinquennat. Cette assistance technique va permettre l?élaboration d?une stratégie de mécanisation agricole adaptée à la diversité des systèmes de production et des zones agro climatiques avec comme sous objectifs : ? Analyse de la situation actuelle de la mécanisation agricole au niveau national à travers : ? L?évaluation de son adaptation aux systèmes de productions dominants ; ? L?appréciation du niveau d?efficience de ces matériels et leur contribution à l?amélioration de la production et de la productivité ; ? L?évaluation du dimensionnement du parc agricole sur le plan quantitatif et son efficience technique et économique ; ? Formulation d?une stratégie de mécanisation agricole accompagnée d?un plan d?action à court terme La Division Production et Protection des Plantes (AGP) assurera l'encadrement technique ainsi que le suivi du projet au vu de ses différentes expériences dans la formulation de telles stratégies en particulier dans les pays en développement.

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.

to prevent the introduction of the disease into the region, through capacity building of technical staff and farmers on early detection, diagnosis, surveillance and phytosanitary measures.

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.

1) To improve food security, protect and restore agricultural livelihoods of vulnerable households affected by the Syria crisis in Syria and Lebanon; 2) To identify ways to strengthen institutional capacities and provide policy advice to address and overcome the water-energy-food challenges in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey in the context of both climate change and the refugee crisis

Account for IFAD to reimburse FAO (as FAO will be hosting IFAD premises)

Improve productivity and efficiency in the agricultural sector. Afforestation projects using treated wastewater for stabilising sand dunes, thus contributing to efforts to combat desertification

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.
