4 12 million children under five were supported by nutrition programs and 800,000 people were trained in child health and nutrition FY12 Feed the Future Results Approximately 7 million farmers applied new technologies and practices, which is more than four times greater than the number of farmers applying new technologies in FY million hectares of land came under improved cultivation and management practices, almost double the amount of hectares in in FY2011 (1.9M). FTF leveraged over 250 million dollars in new private sector investment in the agriculture sector. USAID FTF programs helped support education and training opportunities for 932 students in degree-seeking programs related to agriculture and food security. 660 public-private partnerships to support food security were formed. Over 270,000 micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises received assistance to access loans and nearly 250,000 enterprises received business development services. FTF helped increase the value of exports of targeted commodities by $727 million in countries where we are working, an increase of nearly $80 million from FY2011.

5 Feed the Future Goal: Sustainably Reduce Global Poverty and Hunger - Prevalence of poverty - Prevalence of underweight children High Level Objective: Inclusive agriculture sector growth -Agriculture Sector GDP -Per capita expenditures in rural households - Women s Empowerment in Agriculture Index High Level Objective: Improved nutritional status esp. of women & children -Prevalence of stunted children -Prevalence of wasted children -Prevalence of underweight women Improved agriculture productivity -Gross margins per unit of land or animal of selected product Expanding markets and trade -Percent change in value of intraregional exports of targeted commodities - Value of incremental sales (farm-level) Increased private investment in agriculture and nutrition activities -Value of new private investment in ag sector or value chain -% pub. expenditure on ag. and nutrition - # of local firms/cso operating sustainably Increased employment opportunities in targeted value chains -Jobs created by investment in agricultural value chains Increased resilience of vulnerable communities and households -Household Hunger Scale Improved access to diverse and quality foods -Dietary diversity for women and children Improved nutritionrelated behaviors -Exclusive breastfeeding under six months Improved use of maternal and child health and nutrition services -Prevalence of maternal anemia Programs and policies to support sustainable agriculture sector growth Programs and policies to increase access to markets and facilitate trade Programs and policies to reduce inequities Programs and policies to support positive gains in nutrition AVAILABILITY ACCESS STABILITY UTILIZATION Definition of Food

6 FTF and Climate Smart Food Sustainable Food = Climate Smart Food = Building resilience and adaptive capacity in and through agriculture Resource strategic research Promote sustainable Intensification Adapt to and manage risk Empower Women Facilitate the implementation of sound policies Monitor and Evaluate for real-time learning

7 FTF and Climate Smart Food Research to advance productivity, transform agricultural production systems and improve food safety and nutrition. Using both traditional breeding and biotechnology to address current and anticipated climate change impacts. Heat and drought tolerance Flood/salinity tolerance Pest/disease resistance Post-harvest storage and processing

8 FTF and Climate Smart Food Managing Risk to reduce the impacts of climatic variability and shock on agricultural productivity and livelihoods Natural Resource Management Early Warning Index-based Insurance, and other financial tools Land and resource tenure Conflict Management Formal/Informal social safety nets

9 FTF and Climate Smart Food Sustainable Intensification to increase agricultural productivity, protect biodiversity, maintain sufficient amounts of clean water, and meet the increasing food demands of a growing global population Improving soil quality Minimizing the use of pesticides and herbicides Employing environmental management systems Ensuring safe post-harvest storage and processing Maintaining habitats

10 FTF and Climate Smart Food Empower Women for accelerated and sustainable impacts Understand context: Time, mobility, and literacy Access to/control of resources Land/resource tenure Promote Equality and Women s Leadership Use women s skills and knowledge Ensure equal access to information

11 FTF and Climate Smart Food Policy reform and implementation to promote responsible investment, adaptive capacity, and equitable, sustainable, economic growth Land tenure/rights including communal land tenure Water use and access rights Labor migration and pastoral mobility Regional/cross border trade, SPS protocols Technology development and transfer

12 FTF and Climate Smart Food Monitor and Evaluate for real-time learning and to build the evidence base 1. What are approaches that successfully address longterm natural resources management objectives while effectively increasing productivity and profitability? 2. Which agricultural productivity interventions have had the greatest impact on resilience of households and individuals and their ability to recover from (regain consumption levels and rebuild assets) or withstand (maintain consumption levels and protect assets) common and extreme shocks? 3. Have interventions changed risk-reduction strategies pursued by men and women to cope with shocks (health-related, agro-climatic, economic, sociopolitical)? Illustrative indicators from FTF s Monitoring System: Number of stakeholders implementing risk-reducing practices/actions to improve resilience to climate change as a result of USG assistance Number of climate vulnerability assessments conducted as a result of USG assistance Number of water resources sustainability assessments undertaken

13 FTF and Climate Smart Food Where are the pieces coming together? Bangladesh Zambia Senegal Rwanda And USAID s Resilience Efforts in the Horn and the Sahel USAID s Policy and Program Guidance defines resilience as the ability of people, households, communities, countries, and systems to mitigate, adapt to, and recover from shocks and stresses in a manner that reduces chronic vulnerability and facilitates inclusive growth.

14 Dynamics of Change in East Africa s Pastoral Systems 14 Long-term Trends impacting viability of pastoralist livelihoods Commercialization & herd consolidation Resource degradation, reduced access to and competition over rangeland resources, climatic shocks Change Marginalization & underinvestment Outcomes by sub-group (current status of population) Transitioning out of pastoralism (TOPs) MOVING UP STEPING OUT MOVING OUT Commercial and thriving Vulnerable but viable Vulnerable and exiting Exited Strategic Interventions (2012 to 2017) Enhanced efficiency of livestock value chain Diversification of livelihood opportunities Thriving Drylands Economy

15 ADAPTATIONS/ INNOVATIONS UNDERWAY Dynamics and Drivers of Change in the Sahel 50% % of pop by livelihood status/assets (current and intended results) 40% 30% 20% 10% % Vulnerable & assistance dependent (low/no assets) Vulnerable, but viable (stabilizing assets) Adapting & resilient (accumulating assets) Entrepreneurial & thriving (leveraging assets) Proximate Underlying DYNAMICS AND DRIVERS OF VULNERABILITY

16 FTF, Climate Smart Food, and Gender Illustrative Issues: Economic Opportunities Opportunities to participate in economic life (such as access to credit/assets) are limited, particularly for women. Men control how family income is spent. New technologies and practices Women often overlooked during dissemination of new technologies/ practices Legal/Rights Long-standing customary practices and non-existing or non-applied Family Laws lead to barriers to access to land for women. Health, Nutrition and Family Planning Health and nutrition practices are poor. Men not interested enough in family health, child care and Family Planning Mobility/Access Women face a mobility challenge for training and capacity building due to other family duties Illustrative Programming Responses: Diversify economic opportunities, particularly for women (animal finishing, market gardens, moringa, poultry/eggs) Decrease risk associated with (mostly male) migrant labor and mitigate potential negative social impacts on families Support women-friendly climate smart practices (zai, BDL, market gardens) and ensure ag extension services reach women so they can fully participate. Expand BDL and ensure women s long-term access to land by engaging local leaders Promote gender sensitive land tenure reforms to remove traditional barriers to women s ownership. Community level behavior change programs appropriately target women and men in Family planning, WASH, MCH, nutrition and malaria. Ensure male buy-in and female adoption (men as champions of FP in Niger) Will ensure program design includes Functional Literacy as integrated part of capacity building. Understand and plan activities so women can attend in a socially appropriate way. Functional Literacy 16
