Improving Food Security and Land Governance through Investment Standards
01.01.2011
- 31.12.2014
While increased public and private investment in agriculture is necessary after decades of underinvestment, the quality of such investment is critical to have a positive impact on poverty reduction, food security and sustainable development. The legal and policy frameworks governing trade, foreign investment and agricultural production need to be progressively aligned or better integrated. Collaborations with selected governments and parliamentarians and with relevant commodity standards offer effective entry points for fostering investment in land and water that improve the livelihoods of the rural poor.

Enterriné par le parlement, le recensement a été agendé pour avril 2011. Un fund commun de plusieurs bailleurs de fonds a été créé pour couvrir le budget manquant. Ce projet s'inscrit dans la stratégie de coopération suisse au Kosovo qui vise a renforcer les institutions du nouvel état (domaine Etat de Droit et Démocratie). Par ailleurs, les données fournies par le recensement sont essentielles à la planification de programmes.
