World Water Day 2014 - Understanding the interdependency of water and energy
Agriculture is a thirsty business, with irrigation alone accounting for about 70 per cent of freshwater withdrawals.
Meeting demand from a world population expected to top 9 billion people by 2050 will require a 10 per cent increase in water for agricultural use.
Enormous efforts will be needed to reduce water demand and improve water use efficiency.
Recommandations pour la Conception et la Construction des Petits Barrages de Décrue en Mauritanie
Ce manuel est un complément au “Manuel de suivi et d’entretien des petits barrages en Mauritanie” publié dans la même série. Le FIDA étant appelé à soutenir des projets qui prévoient la réalisation de nouveaux barrages de décrue, il n’est donc pas inutile de rappeler les principes de conception et de construction de ce type d’ouvrage.

Tanzania: Country Technical Note on Indigenous Peoples Issues
The United Republic of Tanzania (URT) has a multi-ethnic population with more than 125 different ethnic communities. Four of these—the Hadzabe, the Akie, the Maasai and the Barabaig—identify themselves as indigenous peoples.
Mapping land and natural resource rights, use and management
Participatory mapping uses a range of tools including data collection tools, such as mental mapping, ground mapping, participatory sketch mapping, transect mapping and participatory 3-dimensional modelling.
Recently participatory mapping initiatives have begun to use more technically advanced geographic information technologies, including Global Positioning Systems (GPS), aerial photos and use of remote-sensing images, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and other digital computer-based technologies.
IFAD supported projects and programmes are increasingly making use of these technologies for mapping land and natural resource rights, use and management.

Enabling poor people to overcome poverty in Guatemal
IFAD has supported rural poverty reduction and agricultural development initiatives in the Republic of Guatemala since 1986. During its first decade in the country, IFAD’s work was oriented towards supporting the government in consolidating the peace process and rebuilding the social fabric in zones that were affected by Guatemala’s 36-year armed conflict.
It also focused on constructing an economic and institutional platform for the development of marginalized rural and indigenous communities.
Over the years, IFAD operations have evolved from localized rural development.
Experiencias del FIDA sobre escalonamiento en Perú, Estudio de caso y esquema analítico
The future of world food security
economic, financial and food crises that have slowed down,
and at times reversed, global efforts to reduce poverty and
hunger. Today, price volatility and weather shocks – such as the
recent devastating drought in the Horn of Africa – continue to
severely undermine such efforts.
In this context, promoting livelihood resilience and food and
nutrition security has become central to the policy agendas of
governments. Smallholder farmers need to be at the centre
of this agenda, and to play a leading role in the investment
efforts needed to achieve it.
