The Project was designed to support development and roll-out of a National Plant Health Strategy (NPHS) and the National Plan for Integrated Plant Health Management (NP-IPHM) 2021-2025. Under the project framework, FAO will provide technical assistance to review the NP-IPHM 2015-2020; analyze and stock-take relevant global frameworks and approaches as well as models and best practices on Plant Health and pest and disease management. It is expected that the NPHS and NP-IPHM would help address comprehensively and sytemically transboundary pest and disease management/pest risks in the context of climate change and global trade integration; integration of plant health, plant nutrition, food safety, quality and nutrition; integration of social protection and inclusive growth (e.g. pro-poor, woman and youth empowerment and inclusiveness); comply with and contribute to environment protection, ecosystem and biodiversity conservation; and attribute to increased competitiveness of Vietnamese agriculture in domestic and global markets

Under the framework of the Project TCP/VIE/3604, FAO provided technical support to implement a nutrition sensitive agriculture component of the ZH-NAP.

The objective of the project is to address eutrophication-induced hypoxia in the Gulf of Tonkin, SCSLME, by reducing land-based nutrient rich pollution from domestic wastewater, industry and agriculture in the Red River Delta, Vietnam.

The project's objective is to apply integrated water resources management and ecosystem restoration approaches in the Red River basin to enhance water security, reverse ecosystem degradation, sustain and enhance biodiversity and improve livelihood resilience. The four core components of the project are as follows: 1) Improving the enabling environment (policy and financing) for integrated ecosystem restoration by enhancing water security; 2) Design and implementation of ecosystem restoration accompanied by incentive mechanisms that stimulate investment to create jobs, secure the livelihoods of local communities and assure long-term change; and 3) Capacity building and knowledge dissemination; 4) Monitoring and evaluation.

The project aims to strengthen farmer institutions and skills. It also envisions to strengthen partnership between public and private sector and mainstream successful measures through policies engagement.

Facilitated Smart Agroecological Transformation of Agri-food Farming Systems (STAS) of the VMD and strengthened resilience to climate change, environmental degradation and other external shocks

The project aims to support the transformation of rice dominated landscapes in the Mekong Delta towards sustainable, adaptive and resilient models of production and landscape management that deliver multiple environmental and social benefits.

To incentivize scaling up of proven best practices and innovations for sustainable and inclusive rice-based production landscapes to generate a range of global environmental and livelihood benefits.

Objective of the project is to enhance the capacity of countries in Southeast Asia to develop national climate finance investment programmes and projects linked to adaptation and mitigation priorities for the agriculture sectors and exchange knowledge and learning to promote innovative mechanisms for public and private sector climate finance at national and regional levels.

Objective of the project is to protect the health of the consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade.

The objective of the project is to secure globally important primary tropical forest landscapes in Thailand through integrated landscape conservation and co-management by local communities for global and local biodiversity, carbon and livelihood benefits.

ICA-4 project will support country stakeholders (including policymakers, market actors and youth organizations) in designing and implementing sustainable, inclusive, and scalable solutions for generating decent employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for rural young women and men in agrifood value chains, while also supporting knowledge sharing and policy dialogue at national, regional and global level.

Objectives of project are : to improve food safety and quality policies, programmes and activities, including food inspection and certification; strengthening food safety/quality capacities and development of standards along the value chain; monitoring/surveillance and laboratory capacities; and delivery of information, communication, education.

Implementation period: 2019 - 2021 

Objective: Strengthened capacity of ASEAN Member States (AMS) and regional cooperation to implement FbF/EWEA and SRSP, enabled by accelerating the use of innovative technologies in climate risk analysis and forecasting.

Implementing partners: Consortium of five UN agencies (FAO, UNICEF, WFP, UN Women and UNISDR), the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society and NGOs.

Duration : Sept 2019 - Oct 2023

Objective: The project provides support to creating an enabling environment through the development of supportive policies, capacity, organizational skills and knowledge. It covers farmers along the value chain, including the post-harvest handling and markets. The expected impact of the project is improved livelihood through higher incomes, increased employment and increased nutrition with consumers benefiting from access to affordable and safe food all year round

Objectives:

1. Improve existing statistical frames in pilot countries to support the preparation of farmland databases and farm registries.

2. Enhance national capacities, in pilot countries to collect farm data, inform the preparation of sub-indicators and report on SDG indicators 2.4.1.

The objective of the project : Strengthened animal health systems to reduce the risks and impacts of zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance, and pandemics through an inclusive One Health approach.

The overall aim of the project is to contribute to reducing the risks and impact of biological threats through strengthened national animal health systems in Southeast Asia, through improved epidemiological capability, strengthened laboratory networks, and enhanced strategic surveillance and early warning systems across animal health systems.

FAO will assist countries affected by ASF and other high impact TADs and those that are at high risk of introduction to be prepared to appropriately respond and manage any emergency situations derived from ASF risks and crises.

Increasing capacities and scale for Anticipatory Action including through Social Protection systems

Support bio-innovations that improve resource efficiency, reduce pollution and value-added production and job creation; enhance capacities of national institutions (public and private) to support bio-innovations in agrifood systems; advocate for sustainable and inclusive business models for bio-innovations through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs); and facilitate exchange of knowledge between national and global/regional bio-economy networks and empower small-scale producers, youth, women, and Indigenous Peoples entrepreneurs.

Cooperation in Plant Protection by member countries in the Region

The objective of the project is to tackle worsening water scarcity in Asia by developing practical capacity in routine water accounting, supporting new and evidence-based water allocation frameworks and processes, working with farmers and water managers to adapt to water scarcity, and establishing a Regional Cooperative Platform (RCP) to capture and share lessons between countries that share similar water scarcity typologies. The project also provides a mechanism that will ensure FAO, Australian and global expertise is delivered to partner countries in a coherent, synergistic, and appropriately tailored manner.
