Field activities

Projects

Over the years, FAO has implemented more than 60 field projects in some 40 countries together with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and a number of bilateral donors. The most recent ones in the map below. In these projects, the need for integrated and participatory approaches to fire management is stressed, including the involvement of local people in the planning and execution of programmes; in the prevention, detection and control of wildfires; and in the sound management of the use of fire as a tool in planned land clearing and in the management of grazing lands. Each project has also a strong country capacity development and legal review component.
