It proposes forming a Community of Practice to strengthen partnerships between organizations working in rural development, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture. The CoP would identify problems, opportunities and priorities to develop collective strategies. It would promote knowledge sharing and innovation between multi-stakeholder members with converging objectives, to better empower the rural poor. IFAD would contribute its expertise in rural issues, act as a catalyst for testing innovations, and advocate for pro-poor policies.
This document provides an overview of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) in Ghana. It describes the rationale for REDD+ to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. It outlines Ghana's vision for REDD+ to reduce emissions by 40% over 10 years while enhancing forest carbon stocks and ecosystem services. Ghana's REDD+ readiness process involves 3 phases from 2008-2036 for preparation, early implementation, and performance-based payments. Key frameworks for implementation include Ghana's R-PP and participation in the FCPF and UN-REDD programs. Criticisms and the way forward are also discussed.
The document summarizes an expert workshop on Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for climate-smart agriculture. It discusses the FAO's Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture Programme and the CCAFS climate change research program. The workshop aimed to support national mitigation planning in agriculture by advancing understanding of NAMAs and the planning and implementation process. Countries represented included Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Ecuador, Vietnam, Mongolia and Indonesia. Agricultural mitigation strategies and the role of NAMAs as a tool were also addressed.
Livelihoods Venture is an impact investment fund that works with large corporations to transform their supply chains and support rural communities through land management projects. It has 12 investor companies and a portfolio of 21 projects across Africa, Asia, and Latin America focused on agroforestry, mangroves, efficient cookstoves, and other areas. While climate funding and discussions of solutions are growing, results have been limited and scaling remains a challenge.

Performance-based Financing for Promoting Resilient EcosystemsCIFOR-ICRAF
- Over 260 community forests (CFs) have been established in Cameroon, covering over 1.3 million hectares of secondary forest. However, most CFs are not operational and are failing to meet their objectives of reducing deforestation and forest degradation.
- Key challenges facing CFs include lack of technical capacity, investment capital, enterprise management skills, infrastructure, market linkages, and access to financing. A new performance-based financing approach is being tested to help CFs establish viable forest enterprises.
- The new approach involves rigorous selection and establishment processes for community forest enterprises, as well as long-term training, technical support, and monitoring to boost enterprise success rates and ensure environmental and social benefits.

Environmental Product Stewardship in Emerging and Transitioning MarketsAntea Group
Product Stewardship is an environmental management strategy that means whoever designs, produces, sells, or uses a product takes responsibility for minimizing the product's environmental impact throughout all stages of the products' life cycle, including end of life management. The greatest responsibility lies with whoever has the most ability to affect the full life cycle environmental impacts of the product. This is most often the producer of the product, though all within the product chain of commerce have roles. This presentation covers EPS drivers and regulations, then takes a deeper look at what this looks like in emerging and transitioning economies in countries like India, South Africa, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Mexico, Peru, and Brazil.
This document discusses sustainable land management and the role of farmers and foresters. It argues that better information management, cooperation, knowledge, planning and interrelation are needed. New support structures are also needed to enable sustainable agro-forestry-environmental risk management. Professional, technological, organizational and political solutions that integrate all elements are required. The document presents examples of best practices and emphasizes the importance of cooperation between stakeholders and using ICT tools to support sustainability goals.
Making REDD+ work for communities and forests: threeshared lessons for projec...Hilda Martínez
The document discusses the challenges of designing successful REDD+ projects that both reduce deforestation and involve local communities. It shares lessons learned from the Mpingo Conservation and Development Initiative (MCDI) in Tanzania. The three key lessons are: 1) assess the specific drivers of deforestation to design effective interventions; 2) understand carbon market requirements to satisfy validation schemes; and 3) balance community engagement with contractual uncertainties in early project design phases. REDD+ brings business aspects like carbon markets to conservation, requiring demonstration of overall emission reductions beyond single forest patches.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

This document provides an overview of the Political Economy and Policy Analysis (PEPA) Sourcebook virtual book launch. It summarizes the purpose and features of the PEPA Sourcebook, which is a guide for generating evidence to inform national food, land, and water policies and strategies. The Sourcebook includes frameworks, analytical tools, case studies, and step-by-step guidance for conducting political economy and policy analysis. It aims to address the current fragmentation in approaches and lack of external validity by integrating different frameworks and methods into a single resource. The launch event highlighted example frameworks and case studies from the Sourcebook that focus on various policy domains like food and nutrition, land, and climate and ecology.
- Rice exports from Myanmar have exceeded 2 million tons per year since 2019-2020, except for 2020-2021 during the peak of the pandemic. Exports through seaports now account for around 80% of total exports.
- Domestic rice prices in Myanmar have closely tracked Thai export prices, suggesting strong linkages between domestic and international markets.
- Simulations of a 10% decrease in rice productivity and a 0.4 million ton increase in exports in 2022-2023 resulted in a 33% increase in domestic prices, a 5% fall in production, and a 10% drop in consumption, with poor households suffering the largest declines in rice consumption of 12-13%.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
