Guinea Bissau - designing and implementing rural development projects |
Title: Thematic Group on Rural Development and Food Security |
The Thematic Group is providing support to the formulation of European Union-funded project on Food Crop Seeds Multiplication and Marketing; a FAO-funded project on Rehabilitation of Agrometeorological and Climatological Activities within the National Meteorology Service; a project on Animal Diseases Control; and Telefood projects on fish conservation and processing aimed at women (e.g. Appui à la conservation du poisson à Cacine and Appui aux femmes transformatrices de poisson à Buba) and agriculture development (e.g. Lutte contre la faim and Appui à la transformation des produits locaux).
The Group is also currently working on finalizing a document, Diagnosis on Agriculture, Livestock, Forestry, Fisheries and Nutrition Sectors within the framework of Food Security, which takes into consideration recommendations made during Thematic Group meetings. This document is a contribution to the Common Country Assessment (CCA) process.
