Глобальный форум по продовольственной безопасности и питанию (Форум FSN)

FAO’s Technologies and Practices for Small Agricultural Producers (TECA) Platform has released an “Open call for technologies and practices” for submissions on sharing practices and technologies that can help smallholder farmers and producers to overcome current challenges. You are invited to submit practices and technologies that have been successfully implemented on the ground, brought positive results and are easily replicable to similar areas. This will be an opportunity to document your practices in a non-technical language and make them available to farmers worldwide.

Each practice/technology will be recorded in a standard format, using clear language and descriptive visuals to provide detailed specifications for easy implementation. The TECA practices and technologies cover a wide range of regions and countries and are available in different languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese) to reach a wider audience. The practice and technologies the calls can include but are not limited to the following themes:

• Agricultural Mechanization;
• Beekeeping;
• Capacity Development;
• Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction;
• Crop Production;
• Fisheries and Aquaculture;
• Forestry
• Livestock Production
• Natural Management
• Nutrition for Better Life;
• Post-Harvest and Marketing.

All information is available here: http://www.fao.org/teca/open-call/en/

The deadline is 30 July 2020.

онлайн-семинар, 28/05/2020 - 28/05/2020

По мере того как страны ослабляют меры, связанные с пандемией COVID-19, возникает ряд новых проблем для производства продовольствия, переработки и логистики цепочки поставок. При условии, что директивные органы и участники товаропроводящих цепочек сыграют свою роль, некоторые из них могут быть преобразованы в возможности роста. Страны нуждаются в практических решениях по ряду вопросов, включая поставки продовольствия, обеспечение продовольственной и пищевой безопасности, торговлю и рынки, с тем чтобы смягчить воздействие COVID-19 и найти новые возможности.

Вебинар ФАО «Ослабление режима изоляции – дальнейшие шаги для продовольственных систем» призван послужить платформой для обмена информацией между странами и партнерами о способах решения проблем, связанных с воздействием COVID-19, в агропродовольственном секторе Европы и Центральной Азии.

Пожалуйста, зарегистрируйтесь, чтобы принять участие в виртуальном мероприятии через платформу для конференций ZOOM. Во время мероприятия будет обеспечен синхронный перевод на русский язык. Мероприятие будет транслироваться в прямом эфире на канале YouTube на английском языке.

In the context of the gLOCAL week, the evaluation offices of  FAO, IFAD and WFP with the support of EvalForward are organizing an online learning event on innovative methods and approaches in evaluation, and on how innovations can provide lessons for progress under SDG2 “End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture”.



During the event participants will be able to join one of the below parallel sessions and discuss with their peers. Main takeaways from the sessions will be shared with the plenary.

Key note by Masahiro Igarashi

Director of FAO Office of Evaluation and Chair of the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG)

Parallel sessions:

1. Innovative approaches and tools for evaluation. 

This session will discuss approaches that evaluation can adopt in times of crisis and present practical methods and tools such as remote sensing and synthesis, and more.

Speakers: Hansdeep Khaira (IFAD) and Carlos Tarazona (FAO)



2. Learning from experience: Community-driven development approaches and innovations.

This session will illustrate how evaluations contribute to knowledge and learning, using the cases of the evaluation synthesis on community-driven development (CDD) approaches and  the corporate-level evaluation on innovations in IFAD.

Speakers: Johanna Pennarz (IFAD) and Maximin Kouessi Kodjio (IFAD) 



3. Going visual in a virtual world: how visualization is bringing greater engagement to evaluation discussions.

Recent experiences in using visual tools for presenting and discussing evaluation work that can be also used in virtual settings will be presented, with examples from Bangladesh, Laos and Myanmar.

Speakers: Yumiko Kanemitsu (WFP) and Keisuke Taketani (facilitation and visualisation expert)

Following the event, participants will receive all material being discussed and shared.

The Global Forest Observations Initiative (GFOI) has launched a portal - the first such comprehensive platform - to track international capacity development support to developing countries in forest monitoring for climate action.

The portal - the GFOI Inventory of Activities - is a one-stop shop with easy-to-access information on more than 400 forest monitoring activities in 70 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean. Users can search for information by country or region, by type of forest monitoring activities, and by donors.

"Collecting and disseminating better information on forests is vital for countries and the international community's efforts to take targeted and effective action on climate change," said Hiroto Mitsugi, FAO Assistant Director-General for Forestry.

The portal will help governments and donors identify gaps, share resources, avoid overlaps and explore opportunities for new partnerships to better address the challenges countries face as they develop their National Forest Monitoring Systems.

The portal displays information from the world's leading forest monitoring development partners, including national governments, development practitioners, space agencies and forestry experts.

It is an example of successful collaboration and open information sharing, which is essential in an era of global climate change as big geospatial data and other diverse and usable information becomes increasingly available.
