The proposed subprogramme (2024-2025) builds upon the foundations, successes, learnings and best practices of the previous subprogramme named FMM/GLO/129/MUL that was implemented between 19 August 2019 and 31 December 2023.
This project funded under the Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC) will leverage the extensive experience and the lessons learned from 40-years of FAO’s SSTC Programme. It will complement and synergize with ongoing and planned OCOP initiatives including the FAO-China South-South Cooperation Programme (USD 5 million) supporting capacity-development and demonstration activities in 15 countries.
The project, which is a contribution to the sectoral objectives of "securing livestock production" in the government programs of the Republics of Senegal and Mali, will be implemented by the FAO Sub-regional Office for West Africa, in collaboration with the technical ministries in charge of livestock production in these countries.
A transformation toward sustainable and resilient systems is imperative to ensure food security, livelihoods, and economic prosperity.

The subprogramme addresses parts of the resource requirements towards the implementation of the MYPOW as reviewed by the Commission at its Nineteenth Regular Session.
The project aims to tap into rural women producers’ potential in contributing (and benefiting from) economic growth, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration.

The subprogramme aims at having integrated, multi-sectoral food safety policies, official control measures and legislation across national agrifood systems adopted and implemented by Governments and enhanced capacities and awareness of value chain operators and consumers.
The subprogramme contributes to the Dominica Climate Resilience and Recovery Plan 2020-2030 by strengthening the effectiveness and the EWS integrating tailored information on sustainable agricultural practices and water management strategies.
This project aims at enhancing capacities of small-scale farmers with sustainable, productive and climate resilience practices across food systems with education and innovation of are key entry points to tackle interconnected challenges of agricultural production, food and nutrition security, ecosystem restoration, sustainable livelihoods and climate change.
Agricultural productivity in South Asia is currently low when compared to developed nations. This has led to increased levels of unemployment, malnutrition, food shortages, and poverty. However, minor millets, quinoa, pulses, and oilseed crops have the potential to combat these issues and contribute significantly to building resilient and sustainable food production systems for the future.
