Resumen
Descripción
The document presents a vision for the formulation of a strategy for the transition from relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction to sustainable agricultural development in Iraq. The strategy aims at answering such questions as: "What does it take to put the Iraqi food and agricultural sector back on the development track?" And how could FAO and the international community collaborate with the Iraqi people in rebuilding the country?" The document is divided into three parts: Part I entitled "T owards a Strategy for Sustainable Agricultural Development: the Transitional Process". This section presents a methodological approach for the transitional process. Under this methodology, a step-by-step approach is proposed. The approach includes the following phases: conducting a comprehensive needs assessment analysis; carrying out sub-sectoral needs assessment; developing a programme approach for the transitional process including short, medium and longer-term policy measures; analysing targ eting vulnerable groups; adopting the FAO Special Programme for Food Security (SPFS) approach for the longer term perception; setting-up temporal (overtime) and spatial (regional) priorities; establishing a mechanism for co-ordinated actions; and based on the above formulating a road map for the transitional process.
