Project code: OSRO/EGY/501/USA

Duration: 2015-2020

Objective: There is currently little capacity at all levels, from global to local, to systematically assess and monitor the impact of livestock systems – be they either positive or negative – on people and the planet. This makes it challenging to formulate policies and investments that support a sustainable development of livestock. Such a development enhances people’s livelihoods, through the provision of income, food and employment; improves public health, through one-health investments that tackle the emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance; addresses environmental degradation and climate change, and sustains biodiversity. With the objective to address this gap, in 2016-2019 Africa Sustainable Livestock 2050 (ASL 2050):

• Supports joint-learning processes at national and regional level to generate evidence on the current and projected impact of livestock production systems on society, including on public health, livelihoods and the environment.
• Encourages evidence-based dialogue at national and regional level to identify policy gaps or priority areas for reforms and investments that ensure a sustainable growth of livestock in the next decades. Dialogue and consultation not only focus on short-term policy gaps but also, through anticipating prospective changes in livestock systems, on actions to be taken now for a sustainable development of livestock in the years ahead.

Objective: The main objective of the proposed action is to improve the living condition of small-scale horticulture farmers, both male and female, in the five selected target villages in Fayoum Governorate and increase the quality, quantity and the competitiveness of their production through the adoption of GAPs with emphasis on reducing the use of pesticides while maintaining high crop productivity.

The specific objective is to increase production and improve the quality of specific horticultural crops grown by small-scale farmers in the five target villages through the adoption of horticultural GAPs.

This will be achieved through the establishment of SFAs in each target village to form the core target groups for scaling up GAP through comprehensive training and demonstration activities covering improved more efficient water management, sustainable soil management, integrated protected production practices and diversification into higher value, higher yielding horticultural crops which can be sold to local and export marketing companies through group farming contracts.

The materials produced for the training and demonstration activities will be used in preparation of comprehensive yet simplified and easy to follow GAP guidelines which will be developed by the project.
