Les récentes initiatives FAO + France ont contribué à :
La filière oléicole constitue actuellement un des segments important pour le développement de l’économie en Algérie. Cependant, le secteur est confronté à un double défi : Faiblesse des productions et une faible compétitivité-prix. De par sa situation et ses potentialités naturelles et économiques, l’Algérie doit faire partie des principaux pays méditerranéens, producteurs d’huile d’olive.
Avec le GIZ Programme Mondial Sécurité Alimentaire et Renforcement de la Résilience, l'Allemagne apporte une contribution significative aux objectifs de développement durable (en particulier la SDG 2 - "faim zéro"). Le programme vise à améliorer durablement la nutrition et la résilience des personnes - en particulier des femmes et des enfants. Pour y parvenir, le Programme Mondial combine des mesures de différents secteurs, par exemple l'agriculture, la santé, la sécurité sociale et le WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene).
Due to political conflict, hundreds of thousands of people had to leave their homes in northern Mali in the last decade. Many have since returned to their home but struggle to regain their livelihoods. In the Timbuktu region, food insecurity is very high and 15 percent of children under 5 years old suffer from acute malnutrition. Goundam, one of the administrative districts of the Timbuktu region, is populated by livestock farmers. Among the previously displaced people, many have lost all their livestock, and with that their traditional means of livelihood.

Nigerian rural women lack sufficient economic resources that will enable them to articulate their needs and interests and organize themselves with a view to developing the nation.
In the last decade, solar energy has experienced a rapid growth, which brings both environmental and economic benefits. In many countries, there is still no electricity grid extension in rural areas, and in the absence of a reliable electricity supply, farmers have to resort to diesel-based pumping irrigation systems. The solar photovoltaic (PV) system generates clean energy and eliminates the risk of environmental pollution in the form of oil spills, contaminated soil and carbon dioxide emissions.
Agrifood systems are undergoing a transformation with the aim to provide safer, more affordable, and healthier diets for all, produced in a sustainable manner while delivering just and equitable livelihoods: a key to achieving the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, this transformation needs to be executed in the global context of major challenges facing the food and agriculture sectors, with drivers such as climate change, population growth, urbanization, and natural resources depletion compounding these challenges.
Since 2017, in line with COAG’s recommendation, the Research and Extension Unit engaged in the development of a participatory AIS assessment framework including a customizable toolbox for countries with a totally new capacity development perspective. The assessment framework is meant for actors of the national agricultural innovation systems, i.e.
Une évaluation approfondie du système de vulgarisation agricole tunisien montre que des paquets technologiques améliorés destinés au système de production agricole mixte élevage-orge en Tunisie semi-aride permettent d’économiser jusqu’à 40 % des coûts d’alimentation du bétail, mais ne sont pas largement adoptés. Les faibles taux d’adoption sont typiques pour de nombreuses technologies approuvées dans les pays en voie de développement.
The objective of this paper is to analyse the olive oil value chain (OVC) in the Governorate of Medenine (south-east of Tunisia) and the relationships between its main operators for an effective involvement and better performance and resilience of olive sector. Based on semi structured interviews and participatory multi-stakeholders’ workshops, OVC has been analysed and described. MACTOR approach has been applied to establish linkages among chain operators and activities in a partnership approach.
