Synopsis (short abstract) Germany’s contributions to FAO support a wide range of programmes — spanning normative work, development cooperation, emergency response and resilience building — making it vital in FAO’s drive to achieve its strategic objectives. The country remains an important partner for FAO, advocating for key themes such as the right to food and responsible investments in agriculture in major international fora like the G7 and G20 summits. The year 2017 marked 15 years of successful collaboration between FAO and Germany through the Bilateral Trust Fund (BTF), where more than USD 134 million have been channeled since 2002, enabling FAO to deliver tangible results at the global, regional and country level.

    The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGGT) are an unprecedented international agreement on the governance of tenure that promotes secure tenure rights and equitable access to land, fisheries and forests as a means of eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and enhancing the environment. The VGGT are designed to benefit all people in all countries, although there is an emphasis on vulnerable and marginalized people. The Bilateral Trust Fund (BTF) has requested an independent evaluation of its projects with a direct link to the VGGT and the development of communication material on lessons learned from their implementation.

    Access to finance for forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) 2018
    Also available in:

    Forest landscapes are inhabited by approximately 1.5 billion people. The aggregate gross annual value of these smallholder producers approaches US$1.3 trillion. Adding value to that production, through financial investment, will be key to delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Therefore, access to finance is an important issue. The Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) commissioned this scoping paper to assess what might be done to improve access to finance. Organisation of forest and farm producers allows finance to be channelled toward valueadded investments. But the motivation to form forest and farm producer organisations (FFPOs) varies with context, from the desire to secure resource rights for Indigenous peoples in the forest core, to the desire to strengthen economic scale efficiencies in periurban forest product processing industries. The scale and type of finance needs vary and span enabling investments (grants or concessional loans)through to asset investments (market-rate capital that requires a return). Access to finance for FFPOs requires tailored approaches. For FFPOs, enabling investments in four key areas are needed to create the conditions and necessary track record to attract asset investment: (i) secure commercial rights; (ii) strong organisation for scale; (iii) appropriate technical extension; and (iv) fair market access and business incubation. Enabling investments of this sort make FFPO businesses bankable and affords them access to finance.

    The Syrian Arab Republic joined FAO in 1945 and cooperation was strengthened with the opening of an FAO representation in 1978. Over the years, collaboration has spanned all areas of the agricultural sector, with an emphasis on enhancing agricultural production and rural development as well as normative support. Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, resilience building has been a major component of FAO activities, with interventions targeting households affected by the conflict and host communities across the country.
