Four Strategic PrioritiesSustainable Agriculture

PSD and inclusive agricultural growth

Systemic resilience to food crises

Nutrition security and enhancement

1) Sustainable Agriculture

Why it matters?• Climate change is happening, natural

resources are depleting and inequality isgrowing

What are the priorities• Governance of land, water and

biodiversity for agriculture"• Sustainable intensification of agriculture,

livestock husbandry, aquaculture and fisheries

• Building human and social capital for family farming

2) Private Sector Development & Agricultural Growth

• Why it matters?• Highest return on poverty reduction• 75% of the poor live in rural areas• Mobilizing private investment to achieve impact at scale.• Smallholder farmers insufficiently connected to markets• They lack organisations, capacities, have low productivity or are not

producing in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner

What are the priorities?• Entry point to work on private sector is the value chain… …Bearing in mind that

the reality is far more complex… Development of rural territories• Four priorities for our actions:

1. Value chains performance and governance2. Innovation, support services and farmers organisations3. Infrastructure and local development4. Financial innovation and risk management

3) Strategic resilience to food crises

• 3.1 Protection of productive assets and livelihoods

• 3.2 Income diversity and stability

• 3.3 Food prices stability and insurance

• 3.4 Food and nutrition security early warning / information systems

• 3.5 Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)

1. Enhance mobilisation and

political commitment for

nutrition

2. Scale up actions at country

level

3. Knowledge for nutrition

(strengthening the expertise and the knowledge-

base)

FNS-SA in the Global Public Goods and Challenges programme: a complement to NIPs and RIPs

€ 1,425 million (roughly € 200 million per year) for these Priority areas:

• 1. Generating and exchanging knowledge and fostering innovation

• 2. Strengthening and Promoting Governance and Capacity

• 3. Supporting poor and insecure to react to crisis and strengthening resilience

IMPLEMENTING EU FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY POLICY COMMITMENTS

Main EU political commitments in FNS-SA• Support partner countries in reducing the number

of stunted children by 7 million by 2025 (€ 2.8billion pledge nutrition sensitive agriculture andimplementation of Nutrition Action Plan- first progressreport 2014-2015 for early 2016

• Ensuring that AR4D delivers impact at country and local level

• Exploring new strategic directions to put research into use and achieve impact

• Ensuring the success of global and regional AR4D initiatives

• Improving EU leadership, coordination and influence

On-going programmes

• Support to• Research • Institutional organisation and

architecture of research• Capacity development

• Knowledge sharing, transfer and use of the results of research

• Research priorities formulated with stakeholders participation

DEVCO Support 2010-2013

A new initiative to support AR4D

• To achieve impact on development:• Ensuring research is effectively servicing

innovation• Enabling a sustained development by establishing

durable domestic agricultural research and innovation capacity

• To harness European resources for effectiveness and improve EU leadership and influence:• Pooling resources• Take advantage of the strong and diversified

European scientific expertise

Highlights…• Magnitude of challenges the world is facing

makes innovation more necessary than ever• Research is not a goal in itself (from a

development cooperation prospect), it’s an input to stimulate, make possible innovation

• EU committed to keep supporting AR4D and stimulate partnerships famers, governments and private sector to boost innovation

• Farmers well beyond partners, users, recipients… of research; main characters of the innovation process
