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.
Dar a la población rural pobre de Guatemala la oportunidad de salir de la pobreza
El Fondo Internacional de Desarrollo Agrícola (FIDA) apoya las iniciativas de reducción de la pobreza rural y desarrollo agrícola en Guatemala desde 1986. El FIDA, durante su primer decenio en el país, orientó su labor a apoyar al Gobierno en la consolidación del proceso de paz y la reconstrucción del tejido social del país en las zonas que se vieron afectadas por el conflicto armado, que se prolongó durante 36 años.
También se concentró en la construcción de una plataforma económica e institucional para el desarrollo de las comunidades rurales e indígenas marginadas.
Experiencias del FIDA sobre escalonamiento en Perú, Estudio de caso y esquema analítico
El futuro de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional mundial
económicas, financieras y alimentarias que han desacelerado, y
en ocasiones invalidado, los esfuerzos mundiales por reducir la
pobreza y el hambre. Al día de hoy, la volatilidad de los precios y una
serie de catástrofes climáticas, como la devastadora sequía que arrasó
recientemente el Cuerno de África, siguen desbaratando esos esfuerzos.
En este contexto, la promoción de la capacidad de recuperación de los
medios de vida y de la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional ha pasado a
ocupar un lugar destacado en los programas de políticas de los
gobiernos. Los pequeños agricultores deben ocupar el centro
mismo de estos programas y ejercer funciones directivas en las
actividades de inversión necesarias para ejecutarlos.
Investing in rural people in Burundi
IFAD has funded nine programmes and projects in Burundi for a total investment of US$141 million. IFAD’s experience in the country confirms that even under adverse circumstances programmes and projects conceived and designed on the basis of adequate consultations with incentives to rural communities can help improve household food security.
During more than a decade of open conflict in Burundi, IFAD continued to implement programme and project activities. In keeping with its mandate for rural and agricultural development, the organization supported participation in social development and the cohesion of rural communities that were directly or indirectly affected by massacres and combat. By continuing activities in the face of insecurity and within the constraints of an international embargo on Burundi, IFAD helped communities maintain a sense of normalcy.
Enabling poor rural to overcome poverty in Yemen
IFAD is currently one of the two largest donors supporting Yemen’s rural agricultural sector. IFAD has worked in Yemen since the Fund’s creation, and has acquired a wealth of experience and knowledge of the economy and society, and developed a wide network of partners in the country. IFAD’s goal in Yemen is to achieve improved, diversified and sustainable livelihoods for poor rural women, men and young people, especially those who depend on rainfed agriculture and livestock production systems in the poorest areas.
IFAD has three main strategic objectives in Yemen:
• empowering rural communities by strengthening partnerships with civil society organizations and using community-driven approaches so that poor rural people can manage local community development activities;
• promoting sustainable rural financial services and pro-poor rural enterprises by developing savings and credit associations for disadvantaged groups in remote rural areas and developing rural enterprises that provide jobs for the unemployed, especially young people and women;
• enhancing food security for poor households by restoring the productive agricultural base and improving productivity so that poor households can produce enough for household needs and a surplus that can be sold.
