L'importance du suivi et de l'évaluation (S&E) de l'adaptation face au changement climatique a été soulignée au niveau mondial, y compris dans le cadre de l'Accord de Paris. Simultanément, des systèmes de suivi et d'évaluation (S&E) de l'adaptation commencent à émerger au niveau national dans le contexte des processus nationaux de planification et de budgétisation. Cette note d'orientation technique détaille comment développer des systèmes de suivi et d'évaluation (S&E) pour la planification de l'adaptation dans les secteurs agricoles.

L'Afrique n'est pas sur la bonne voie pour atteindre les cibles de l'objectif de développement durable (ODD) 2 visant à éliminer la faim et à assurer l'accès de tous à une alimentation saine, nutritive et suffisante tout au long de l'année, et à mettre fin à toutes les formes de malnutrition. Les estimations les plus récentes montrent que 281,6 millions de personnes sur le continent, soit plus d'un cinquième de la population, ont été confrontées à la faim en 2020, soit 46,3 millions de plus qu'en 2019.

L’agriculture est un secteur primordial pour générer des revenus à la population croissante et un contributeur majeur au PIB en Af rique. L’Af rique est connue comme un continent jeune, car elle compte le plus grand nombre de jeunes au monde. Ces jeunes sont énergiques, ont un esprit frais et innovant. Ils sont ambitieux et prêts à prendre des initiatives pour s’intégrer dans le processus de développement.

Effective reform pathways for addressing women’s access to land and tenure security in Africa are yet to be found despite their role in feeding the population. With the adoption of the AU Declaration on Land Issues and Challenges in Africa (2009) and the launch of the African Land Policy Centre (2017), hopes were high that existing precarious women’s access to land, tenure and food security might be transformed to opportunities. Prevailing discourses, however, still advocate for land reforms attuned to gender equality with a neo-classical chord.

Food insecurity has been a major global development concern. Hence, SDG Two seeks to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030. The situation is severe in sub-Saharan Africa, where customary practices deprive women of land ownership and limit their access rights. This paper explores the influences of a gendered land tenure system on food security in Nandom District, adapting conditional assessment modules defined by USDA and FAO. With a list of households categorized under headship, 30 respondents were proportionally selected from each of the four study communities.

This paper assessed gender inequality in household resources, particularly land ownership, division of labour and decision making as regards climate change adaptation strategies for household food security. The results show that gender inequality exists among the pastoralists in terms of household division of labour, ownership of resources and decision-making such that women do not control important productive resources such as land and livestock which make them more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and less able to adapt to it.

Global concerns about fossil fuel prices and climate change have directed focus on prospects of biofuels. In Ghana, large-scale biofuel development has been entangled with several problems including disputes over land use and a combination of challenges such as low yield performance of Jatropha, food versus oilseed prices and financial viability issues. Furthermore, the exercised land acquisition processes lacked transparency and could not protect the rights of vulnerable local people. One particular challenge is the withdrawal of companies without returning the land to the land owners.

This study examines the effect of land rights on agricultural outcomes in Rwanda. We characterize the effects of land rights from two perspectives. The first one is land rights indicated by the right to sell and guarantee land and the second one is land titling. The agricultural outcomes include agricultural productivity, food security and nutritional diversity. From the results, land rights are found to have a positive relationship with all the outcome variables. The effect of land rights on agricultural productivity is larger if the household head is male.
