      Assistance technique pour la promotion de la production de l`huile d?olive biologique en Algérie
      2017
      2018
      145,000
      le projet vise à contribuer aux objectifs fixés par le Gouvernement, à savoir l?amélioration des revenus des petits agriculteurs ainsi que la diversification et la promotion des exportations agricoles, tout en permettant à l?Algérie de disposer de la confiance des pays destinataires et d?être admise à l'instar des pays déjà reconnus sur le marché européen de l?huile d?olive biologique. comme effet direct, le projet permettra l?initiation et la mise en place, dans cinq zones pilotes (Tizi-Ouzou, Batna, Tlemcen, Tipaza et Jijel), d?un modèle de développement intégré biologique autour de l?oléiculture des zones montagneuses. comme produits, il est attendu: - Un diagnostic institutionnel et technique de la situation actuelle de la filière huile d?olive biologique est réalisé et une stratégie de conversion vers le mode bio est élaborée; - Les capacités des acteurs clés : chercheurs, développeurs et agriculteurs sont renforcées et un modèle de plan de marketing pour la promotion des produits Oléicoles biologiques est développé; - Un projet de plan national pour le développement du secteur de l?huile d?olive biologique est formulé.

      The main objective is to promote sustainable agricultural production by making water resources accessible through a solar-powered irrigation technologies, whilst putting in place measures to safeguard those very resources. The second objective is to support rural livelihoods (providing access to reliable and clean energy in rural areas and providing options for a diversification of incomes) through the sustainable use of solar irrigation technologies.

      Strengthened producer organizations (POs) can help SSFF overcome the barriers they face and develop innovative organizational arrangements that broaden their capabilities. Given the wide range of services that inclusive and efficient POs can provide to their members, these organizations are essential for a thriving agricultural sector and for boosting rural economies. They enable farmers to benefit from an array of services including access and management of natural resources, markets, credits, inputs and information as well as influencing policy-making processes. POs are a vehicle to encourage rural populations to remain in their territories instead of migrating to urban centers or to other countries. For this, governments have a critical role to play in creating conducive conditions by enabling collective action of producers to form and thrive. These conditions include developing transparent and sound regulatory frameworks, a conducive investment climate, as well as facilitating the creation of frameworks and policy dialogue spaces between governments and various stakeholders.

      The project intends to set the proper framework for implementing the 2030 Agenda for water efficiency and productivity (SDG 6.4) through three major work packages: (i) establishing a robust water accounting system providing the evidence base for the full water budgeting (supply, demand, uses and re-cycling, present and projected) and for monitoring progress in the achievement of the targets while assessing the institutional effectiveness to govern water resources; (ii) implementing a series of interventions to increase water efficiency and productivity in selected farming systems of the countries to advance in achieving the SDG 6.4; interventions will include: introduction/enhancement of good practices and affordable technologies; improvement of decentralized water governance; development of under-exploited value chain rural agro-industry; leveraging on the multiplier effect to increase productivity when accounting for gender dimensions in the adoption of on-farm practices and technologies, in decentralized governance and along the value chain; elaboration of incentive frameworks, adapted to each local conditions, to promote the uptake of good practise and technologies at farm level and to stimulate entrepreneurial initiatives along the value chain (thus generating higher income and higher job opportunity); (iii) ensuring that higher efficiency/productivity achievements for the 2030 time horizon are attained within ?safe operational boundaries of water use? defining the conditions for ?water sustainability? and, therefore, for a sustainable, socially equitable and human-rights based development.The present proposal intends to set the proper framework for implementing the 2030 Agenda for water efficiency and productivity (SDG 6.4) through three major work packages: (i) establishing a robust water accounting system providing the evidence base for the full water budgeting (supply, demand, uses and re-cycling, present and projected) and for monitoring progress in the achievement of the targets while assessing the institutional effectiveness to govern water resources; (ii) implementing a series of interventions to increase water efficiency and productivity in selected farming systems of the countries to advance in achieving the SDG 6.4; interventions will include: introduction/enhancement of good practices and affordable technologies; improvement of decentralized water governance; development of under-exploited value chain rural agro-industry; leveraging on the multiplier effect to increase productivity when accounting for gender dimensions in the adoption of on-farm practices and technologies, in decentralized governance and along the value chain; elaboration of incentive frameworks, adapted to each local conditions, to promote the uptake of good practise and technologies at farm level and to stimulate entrepreneurial initiatives along the value chain (thus generating higher income and higher job opportunity); (iii) ensuring that higher efficiency/productivity achievements for the 2030 time horizon are attained within ?safe operational boundaries of water use? defining the conditions for ?water sustainability? and, therefore, for a sustainable, socially equitable and human-rights based development.
