Synopsis (short abstract) Agricultural production is inextricably tied to climate, making agriculture one of the most climate-sensitive of all economic sectors. In countries such as the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly pressing problem, because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Against this background, the project aimed to increase the institutional capacity of the Government and other entities to assess climate-change impacts and identify adaptation options, and to provide improved extension and education material to farmers, secondary schoolteachers and scout leaders.

    Comprehensive analysis of the disaster risk reduction and management system for agriculture in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia 2018
    Also available in:
    This report aims to highlight the current strengths of the institutional DRR system for agriculture in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia as well as indicate existing gaps and capacity needs to further enhance it. A comprehensive assessment is conducted, which includes a general overview of the country’s agricultural sector and outlines the most frequent natural hazards that are impacting the sector. It is followed by an analysis of the existing legal, policy and institutional structure and discusses various components of the system, including e.g. the functioning of early warning systems, assessments of disaster risks, post-disaster needs assessments, including damages and losses assessments and the availability of agricultural insurance for farmers. It concludes by providing recommendations for capacity building interventions to strengthen the current system to reduce the adverse impacts of natural hazards, in particular, floods, landslides and droughts, and climate change on agriculture in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. This report is prepared for the FAO project ‘Enhancement of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRR/M) capacities and mainstreaming of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) practices into the Agricultural Sector in the Western Balkans (TCP/RER/3504).
