Savoirs

L’objectif final de ce Guide de l’utilisateur et du Tableur Excel qui l’accompagne est de faire du MPAT un outil réellement libre et accessible à tous, afin que toute institution ou agence, quelle que soit son échelle, puisse mettre en œuvre son propre MPAT sans appui externe. Depuis la publication en 2009 de la version “bêta», nous nous sommes employés à mettre à jour et à améliorer la méthodologie du MPAT en intégrant les commentaires et les leçons apprises par d’autres utilisateurs en y incorporant les résultats de nos propres tests itératifs au Bangladesh et au Mozambique. Au cours des pages suivantes, nous expliquerons qu’est-ce MPAT, comment il fonctionne et de quelle façon il est utilisé en fournissant étape par étape des instructions, des documents et d’autres sources de formation.

This publication illustrates IFAD’s experience in closing the gender gap and mobilizing the ‘gender advantage’ in climate change adaptation through ten case studies from across the world. 

This book examines the growing divergence between subsistence and business oriented small farms, and discusses how this divergence has been impacted by population growth, trends in farm size distribution, urbanization, off-farm income diversification, and the globalization of agricultural value chains.

This overview document represents a synthesis of 4 policy briefs produced by IFAD, complemented by joint work with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in the area of food security, nutrition and sustainable agriculture in the post-2015 agenda. 

IFAD’s work in the post-2015 debate is inspired by its unique mandate to invest in poor rural people to enable them to overcome poverty and to transform their lives.

The Multidimensional Poverty Assessment Tool provides data that can inform all levels of decisionmaking by providing a clearer understanding of rural poverty at the household and village level. As a result, MPAT can significantly strengthen the planning, design, monitoring and evaluation of a project, and thereby contribute to rural poverty reduction.

Following an inclusive consultation and negotiation process, which involved more than 70 countries, international organizations, and representatives of the civil society and the private sector, the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security (VGs) were officially endorsed by the Committee on World Food Security on 11 May 2012. The VGs set out principles, technical recommendations and practices for improving the governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests. They promote secure tenure rights and equitable access to these resources as a means of eradicating hunger and poverty, supporting sustainable development and protecting the environment. They give recommendations to countries and to other key actors, who are strongly encouraged to adopt and use them on a voluntary basis.
