    Project
    Building Global Capacity to Increase Transparency in the Forest Sector - GCP/GLO/882/CBT 2022

    The 2015 Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius. Terrestrial carbon sequestration, which mostly takes place in forests, is critical to achieving this goal. To meet this ambitious target, countries have formulated individual climate commitments, referred to as nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Land use, and forests in particular, have been identified as a key component of the NDCs expected to provide an estimated 25 percent of emission reductions efforts up to 2030. However, to plan, implement and monitor these reductions, technical support is urgently needed to overcome forest data gaps, while at the same time improving the quality and transparency of forest related data and information. Against this background, the project was designed to strengthen institutional and technical capacities of developing countries through a coordinated process for global and national forest related data collection, analysis and dissemination, supporting countries to meet the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement; focusing on seven pilot countries: Brazil, Côte d’Ivoire, Guatemala, Honduras, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Thailand and Uganda.

    This report is part of a larger study that seeks to identify the knowledge gaps around gender in the forest sectors of Côte d’Ivoire, Viet Nam and Honduras by assessing the role of women in wood-based value chains and identifying possible interventions or recommendations to reduce gender disparities during VPA negotiations and implementation. This study seeks to complement the emerging body of work on the topic of gender (Forest Trends, 2019; SRD, 2020) in the VPA, by presenting a specific case study on the role of women in the wood supply chain of La Xuyen wood village, in Nam Dinh province, Viet Nam and exploring how the VPA could promote and strengthen gender mainstreaming in Viet Nam using this example.

    Nile Tilapia value chain in Côte d’Ivoire
    Summary report
    2022
    Also available in:

    This report presents the results of the value chain analysis of the Nile Tilapia value chain in Côte d’Ivoire conducted from 2021-2022 by the value chain development programme FISH4ACP. This report contains a functional analysis of the value chain, assesses its sustainability and resilience, develops an upgrading strategy and an implementation plan to which FISH4ACP will contribute. FISH4ACP is an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) aimed at making fisheries and aquaculture value chains in twelve OACPS member countries more sustainable. It contributes to food and nutrition security, economic prosperity and job creation by ensuring the economic, social and environmental sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific. FISH4ACP is implemented by FAO with funding from the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
