FAO is a partner agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), a partnership of 18 agencies and 183 countries to address the world’s most challenging environmental issues related to biodiversity, climate change, land degradation, chemicals, and international waters. GEF provides grants to countries to meet these challenges whilst contributing to key development goals, such as food security.  FAO brings to the partnership extensive knowledge and expertise in sustainable agriculture, including forestry and fisheries, as well as project formulation and resource mobilization.

FAO is a participating partner  with GEF in the Sustainability and Resilience for Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa Integrated Approach Pilot, known as “the Food Security IAP”. The Food Security IAP comprises one cross-cutting regional hub project and 12 country-level projects in Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria, Swaziland, Senegal, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania.  This brief film illustrates examples of sustainable water management practices that have been successful in three countries – Yemen, Swaziland and Senegal.
