The new Women’s Empowerment Metric for National Statistical Systems (WEMNS) is a streamlined tool for measuring women’s empowerment, intended for use in large-scale, multitopic surveys conducted by national statistical systems. WEMNS is designed to measure empowerment in households with all types of livelihoods, in both urban and rural areas, complementing the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), which focuses on agricultural households.

This report describes the process carried out for the development of a component in the e-Agrology mobile application, which allows the farmer to accept informed consent, thus authorizing the sharing of data on their agricultural production.

On 7 February 2024 at the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis, CGIAR Centers – Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, ICARDA, IWMI, IFPRI, and supported by the CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform (A4IP) – in collaboration with the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology of Egypt (ASRT) and under the auspices of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Egypt (MOHESR) hosted the "Consultation Workshop: Deep Diving into the Agri-tech Innovation Ecosystem in Egypt".

Lack of systematic tools and approaches for measuring climate change adaptation limits the measurement of progress toward the adaptation goals of the Paris Agreement. To this end, we piloted a new approach, the Biomass Climate Adaptation Index (Biomass CAI), for measuring agricultural adaptation progress in Ethiopia across multiple scales using satellite remote sensing data. The Biomass CAI can monitor agri-biomass productivity associated with adaptation interventions remotely and facilitate more tailored precision adaptation.

Pakistan is highly dependent on irrigated agriculture for employment, income generation and food security—around 90 percent of all food production relies on either surface or groundwater irrigation. The growing dependence of agriculture but also industries and the drinking water sector on groundwater has led to the overexploitation of groundwater resources and, in some areas, to the deterioration of groundwater quality. Fiscal incentives for solarization of irrigation/drinking water pumps are likely to further increase water withdrawals and make water governance more complex.

En Guinée, la hausse du cours de l’or depuis les années 2000 a favorisé l’intensification des pratiques anciennes d’exploitation des ressources aurifères. À partir de 2010, l’activité artisanale se transforme, marquée par l’adoption de nouvelles techniques et par la mécanisation des pratiques d’extraction et de traitement du minerai. Depuis 2015, cette mécanisation évolue avec l’utilisation croissante d’engins lourds et le développement d’exploitation semi-industrielles.

L'Afrique est confrontée à une crise alimentaire d'une ampleur sans précédent. On s'attend à ce que des millions de personnes soient touchées par une aggravation de la faim dans un avenir proche en raison des conséquences de la guerre en Ukraine, qui s'ajoutent aux effets dévastateurs des conflits, de la variabilité du climat et des extrêmes climatiques, des ralentissements et des fléchissements économiques, et des répercussions de la pandémie de covid-19 sur les personnes les plus vulnérables.
