SUMMARY:GACSA Annual Forum 2016
DESCRIPTION:This year the Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA) organizes its Annual Forum around the theme of “Climate-Smart Agriculture in Action”. \nThe Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA)\, was launched on 23 September 2014 at the UN Climate Summit. GACSA is an independent alliance\, governed by its members through a Strategic Committee and its co-Chairs. Since January 1\, FAO is hosting the Facilitation Unit of GACSA which is supported through a multi donor trust fund. GACSA is a voluntary alliance of partners\, dedicated to addressing the challenges facing food security and agriculture under a changing climate. In particular the alliance has the objective of up scaling the climate smart agriculture approach\, a concept which was originally developed by FAO. \nGACSA Annual Forum 2016\nGACSA’s ambitious future is based upon supporting and inspiring action. Farmers\, fishers\, foresters\, and ranchers are at the center of this action\, and therefore GACSA is devoting its Annual Forum 2016 to showcasing climate-smart agriculture in action. \nThe Forum will be a dynamic gathering\, where the participants share solutions\, discuss challenges\, and build partnerships on climate-smart agriculture. GACSA is seeking out action-oriented stakeholders to come to both share and learn at the GACSA Annual Forum. The moderator will be Charlotte Smith\, Presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Farming Today. \nProgramme\nThe event in Rome has four distinct parts. \nJune 14 – Optional Field Visit\nOrganised by the World Farmers’Organisation. \nJune 15th & 16th – Core Events\nIncluding interactive sessions on: \n– GACSA Country Case Studies – Interactive exchange among multiple stakeholders from each country (Costa Rica\, France\, Ireland\, Malawi\, Tanzania and Vietnam). \n– Climate Finance and Investment – Take stock of how private and public investors are mainstreaming climate change into their agriculture projects and programmes.  \n– CSA Knowledge in Action –Highlight progress and results across the five priority work areas of the KAG. \n– Regional CSA Alliances –Showcase the work of the regional alliances and platforms focused on CSA.  \nCSA Innovators Pitch– 3 ‘Innovators’ will pitch their new idea/innovation on CSA. \n– Opportunities Ahead for CSA – Current gaps in scaling up CSA and opportunities for engagement.  \nJune 17 – Meetings of the GACSA Action Groups\n– Knowledge Action Group \n– Enabling Environment Action Group \n– Investment Action Group \nJune 17 – Meeting of the GACSA Strategic Committee\nAll in attendance are welcome in every session \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Briefing: Nutrition-sensitive agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The Global Donor Platform’s Nutrition Work Stream is hosting a webinar on 16 June 14:30 CEST to examine the state of the art in nutrition-sensitive agriculture (NSA) both from a conceptual point of view and regarding its translation into practice. Representatives of major donors\, international organisations\, research institutes and NGOs will share and discuss their perspectives\, approaches and experiences in addressing and promoting NSA. \nThe webinar forms part of a broader activity of the Platform’s Nutrition work stream led by the Rome-based Agencies (RBAs). The general idea of this activity is to structure and synthesize previous experiences in nutrition-sensitive agriculture in order to scale up effective nutrition-sensitive interventions. \nNutrition-sensitive agriculture\nIn recent years\, many development institutions have produced guidance notes about linking agriculture and nutrition\, mainly intended to assist programme and service planners to understand and implement these linkages. \nThere now is a need to exchange and critically review experiences acquired so that key success factors\, best practices\, and standards can be properly identified\, shared and adopted by the development community. \nThe Global Donor Platform seeks to contribute to the global learning agenda\, thus deepening an understanding of how the agriculture-nutrition conceptual frameworks function and deliver in practice\, notably in the framework provided by Agenda 2030. For more information\, please refer to the concept note below. \nAgenda\nWelcome and Introduction into Agenda (Lynn Brown\, Nutrition Group Chair) \nPresentation of Platform activities on NSA & objectives (Mauro Ghirotti\, IADC) \nOverview of key principles\, lessons\, challenges & knowledge gaps \n\nFAO // Charlotte Dufour (food system approach)\nHarvestPlus // Peg Willingham (biofortification approach)\n\nPresentation of specific cases & practical examples \n\nSPRING Project // Victor Pinga\nAction Against Hunger (ACF) // Bader Mahaman Dioula\n\nWrap-up of the discussion and next steps \nRegistration and information\n\nTo take part in the webinar please click here 5 minutes before the official start of the Webinar \nDownloads\nConcept Note \nHost\nSecretariat Global Donor Platform for Rural Development \nContact\n(function(){var ml="t_obhsd-3kfEe2a%4pAgDcum0i.CFnrl"\,mi="?8K>?=H4NIO02?8BOFI5>JANI2N?@H62M2NAO>0:2NGJ2NC?==?=H0>NCM9?==?=HNM?=HEO>55?8D?==EO2>9JANI2N?@H62M2NAO>0:2NGJ2NC?8K?=L5A>M?8;?8K?=L>?8;"\,o="";for(var j=0\,l=mi.length;j
