Book Synopsis Food Security and Climate Change in the Pacific by : Asian Development Bank
Download or read book Food Security and Climate Change in the Pacific written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are a diverse array of countries with widely varying topographies, cultures and economies, fragile natural resource environments, and prosperity, stability, and security that can be compromised by the impacts and consequences of climate change. The Pacific island governments view climate change as a priority issue, especially in terms of its potential impacts on food security, and need clear directions in addressing both issues. This report describes the present state of food security and its contributing factors in the Pacific region, assesses its prospects amid the growing threats and likely impacts of climate change, and presents potential areas for more active assistance, investments, and interventions from ADB and other development partners. While technical and policy measures to ensure food security amid the ensuing climate change are numerous, interrelated, and complex, the successful implementation of programs and projects calls for simple and flexible designs that carefully consider the capabilities of relevant stakeholders at the regional, national, and local levels.
Book Synopsis Hardship and Vulnerability in the Pacific Island Countries by : Melissa Adelman and Oleksiy Ivaschenko
Download or read book Hardship and Vulnerability in the Pacific Island Countries written by Melissa Adelman and Oleksiy Ivaschenko and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this report is to present solid empirical evidence of hardship, vulnerability to shocks, and risk management in the Pacific region. The report is primarily a stocktaking exercise that brings together existing evidence and new analysis of available data using a consistent framework. The report takes a “micro-” perspective—that of the individual and household—but accounts for the important role of communities, the state, and international partners. As such, it is a complement to the studies that analyze the macroeconomic context of the Pacific or that analyze rich subnational data. The purpose of building this solid evidentiary base is to catalyze needed future work, including new data collection, rather than to provide the final answer to any of the important questions addressed in the report.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The issues of urban change, and of environmental degradation have long been of concern to geographers with our strong emphasis on human/environmental relationships. Spatial inequalities, as reflected in the distribution of well-being are also a major focus for human geographers. In the Pacific Islands rapid changes occuring in the urban areas are obvious in deteriorating ernvironments and in increasing poverty amongst disadvantaged groups. This book on urban poverty and environment arose out of research carried out in the Pacific over the past decade ... The material presented here is partly original research (particularly Chapter V), and partly material which is largely unpublished, such as internatinal and regional agency and consultancy reports, largely inaccessible to the general public ..."--Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assesses agricultural research and extension institutions in Asia and suggests ways to improve their relevance, responsiveness, and cost- effectiveness The tremendous growth in the productivity of Asian farmers over the past few decades attests to the very high returns on investments in agricultural research and extension. This paper reviews the historical performance of the organizations that develop and disseminate agricultural technology in Asia and the challenges now facing them. Among the programs reviewed is the World Bank's training and visit (T & V) system, launched in the 1970s. The author stresses that raising agricultural productivity through new technology is critical to the alleviation of poverty and to assurance of long- term growth in Asia. Equally important over the long term is helping farmers adopt less intensive and more environmentally sound agricultural practices. The author concludes that current institutional mechanisms are inadequate for meeting these challenges, particularly in the face of tighter governmental budgets. He reviews ways to modernize these organizations, particularly those methods that would enable the institutions to use both public sector and private resources more efficiently and would make them more responsive to farmers and other stakeholders.

Book Synopsis Transparency to the People by : Asian Development Bank
Download or read book Transparency to the People written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication tells the story of the use of stakeholder participation to support public sector reform in Nauru and the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). The report provides important lessons for donor agencies, for Nauru and the RMI, and for other Pacific island nations that mainly live off aid and other rents. The lessons concern what has gone wrong with governance and why, and what can be done to improve governance under existing conditions. The three pilot projects described show that by taking transparency directly to the people, donors can help create more favorable conditions under which local citizens themselves can more readily press for reform. Whether the modest gains achieved in the pilot projects will prevail remains to be seen, but in all three cases, the future looks more promising than the past.
