Book (series)Drought characterization and management in Central Asia Region and Turkey 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The report assesses the occurrence and impacts of drought, the current policies underlying drought management as well as the mitigation measures and responses adopted in Central Asia and Turkey, with a focus on Agriculture Sector. It is part of a series of similar studies carried out in different regions and countries of the world, with the objective of shedding light on drought effects, sensitizing policy-makers for the much needed paradigm shift to pro-active drought management planning and pr oviding guidance for the development of such policies. The studies are carried out by FAO, in collaboration with the Water for Food Institute, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, as a direct contribution to FAO's Strategic Objective "Increasing the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises". -
Book (stand-alone)Study on small-scale family farming in the Near East and North Africa region. Synthesis 2017This report provides an overview of a study conducted in the NENA region in 2015-2016 in partnership with FAO, CIRAD, CIHEAM-IAMM and six national teams, each of which prepared a national report. In the six countries under review in the NENA region (Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Mauritania, Sudan and Tunisia), agriculture is carried out primarily by small-scale family farmers, the majority of whom run the risk of falling into the poverty trap, largely due to the continuous fragmentation of inherited landholdings. As such, the development of small-scale family farming can no longer be based solely on intensifying agriculture, as the farmers are not able to produce sufficient marketable surplus due to the limited size of their landholdings. An approach based strictly on agricultural activity is also insufficient (as small-scale family farms have already diversified their livelihoods with off-farm activities). In fact, developing small-scale farming cannot be achieved by focusing strictly on t he dimension of production.

DocumentThe Status of rural poverty in the Near East and North Africa Enabling 2007
Also available in:
No results found.This report is based on a desk review of recent literature on rural poverty reduction in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region, and on a synthesis and analysis of existing secondary data sources (see List of References for details). The study builds on the IFAD NENA Rural Poverty Assessment Report prepared in 2001–2002 (and published in 2003). It provides a full update of poverty data to the latest year available, analyses emerging trends, and highlights variations in the rural poverty pr ofile resulting from rapid changes in socio-economic and rural development conditions in the region. In its capacity as a regional assessment (based on a desk review), this report by definition focuses on key rural poverty issues in the 13 highly diverse countries without attempting to propose policy and programme actions at the national or local levels. Explicit country situations are quoted throughout the report in order to illustrate examples of poverty dimensions or specific constraints prev alent in some areas, or in order to underline differences in rural poverty among countries. The specificity of each country and local area, in terms of tailoring actions to meet the needs of different rural target groups, is better analysed at the COSOP or individual IFAD project level.
