Resumen
Descripción
The FAO Regional Office for Africa (RAF) collaborates with several African countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, to enhance resilience building efforts. In Nigeria, FAO implements a comprehensive resilience program focusing on various sectors such as agriculture, livestock, and agribusiness to improve food security, livelihoods, and resilience. This initiative involves supporting farmer organizations, infrastructure development, early warning systems, and livestock sector improvements. FAO also contributes to humanitarian programming and crisis management, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organization emphasizes inclusivity, sustainability, and modernization through digital transformation. By addressing different dimensions of resilience, FAO aims to empower communities and foster sustainable development amidst complex challenges.This document reflects an analysis of ongoing FAO Nigeria resilience building interventions and how they contribute towards the five capacities for resilience building, namely: Preventive: reduce existing and future risks; Anticipative: act early; Absorptive: the ability to bounce back, overwhelmingly humanitarian (emergency response); Adaptive: incremental adjustments; Transformative: make fundamental changes to the system. The five capacity areas are in most cases overlapping during specific project implementation, with the classification based on the overarching resilience capacity area.
