33% of global biodiversity hotspots are located in grassland regions threatened by agricultural expansion (Kan et al., 2026).

Between 20% and 35% of the world's terrestrial carbon is stored in grasslands, ecosystems currently under increasing agricultural pressure (Kan et al., 2026).

6% of global land use change is attributed individually to countries such as Russia, India, China, and the United States (Kan et al., 2026).

This regional technical cooperation seeks to facilitate the transition from conventional livestock practices to sustainable livestock management models in the Amazon biome, integrating biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration with economic, social, and environmental benefits. To do so, it will foster a regional platform of key stakeholders with nodes and networks that promote collaboration and knowledge exchange on sustainable livestock management in the Amazon. It will also compile and systematize existing evidence, identify information gaps, and document best practices, lessons learned, and indicators to measure progress in sustainability. Based on that knowledge, it will produce communication materials and organize dissemination events to support evidence-based decision-making and enable adoption of sustainable practices by regional actors. Finally, it will implement one demonstration farm as a successful production model to apply and showcase sustainable livestock practices and encourage replication or adaptation across other Amazon territories.

This initiative is a Technical Cooperation (HA-T1341) in Haiti to support sustainable rural and agricultural development, focusing on strengthening implementation of the PAPAIR operation (HA-J0002) and identifying new investment opportunities to improve productivity, food security, and climate resilience in the country’s northern region. The TC responds to delays and limited operational capacity within MARNDR to implement PAPAIR (low disbursement rate and challenges in procurement, operational management, and planning), compounded by political, institutional, and security instability. Its specific objectives are to: (i) strengthen the Ministry’s capacity to implement PAPAIR, (ii) extract lessons learned from past and ongoing operations (including incentive mechanisms, subsidies, and technical assistance instruments, as well as private-sector experiences), and (iii) support the design of new strategies and investments (including sustainable value chains and a feasibility study for rehabilitating irrigation infrastructure). The TC is structured into three components: implementation support to PAPAIR through consultancies (procurement/contract management, rural infrastructure, M&E, gender and diversity), lessons learned, and identification/design of new strategies and investments; with outputs shared with public authorities, private-sector actors, and development partners. It will be executed by the IDB at the request of the Government of Haiti, in close coordination with MARNDR (monthly meetings and a designated focal point), funded by OC-SDP resources from W1D and W2A/W2B windows totaling US$300,000 over 24 months, starting on September 1, 2025.

This initiative is a Technical Cooperation (PE-T1615) aimed at repositioning Peru’s main public agricultural services to promote sustainable agricultural development. It will foster partnerships with the private sector and with regional and municipal authorities, and strengthen institutional coordination through public-private collaboration mechanisms and engagement with subnational governments, reinforcing cooperative models. The TC will finance consultancies and multi-stakeholder technical dialogue spaces organized into two components: technical support for repositioning agricultural services (including studies and designs of monitoring instruments, territorial approaches, and digital technologies for strategic resources such as seeds) and the development of institutional coordination mechanisms and capacity building (leadership, negotiation, and communication). It complements IDB operations in Peru’s agricultural sector, particularly PE-L1270 (innovation and extension services) and PE-L1280 (food safety), and seeks to strengthen MIDAGRI’s steering role alongside INIA and SENASA. The IDB will execute the TC, and monitoring will track planned vs. executed procurements and delivered outputs, with annual reporting through the TCM system.

The report outlines Uruguay’s updated commitments on climate change mitigation and adaptation toward 2035, integrating sectoral targets, cross-cutting measures, and a strengthened institutional framework. It presents the national emissions profile and advances in energy transition, sustainable agriculture, waste management, and circular economy, along with the Third Adaptation Communication, which details risks, needs, capacities, and national adaptation plans. It also incorporates participatory processes and gender, childhood, and climate-empowerment approaches, while establishing guidelines for monitoring, financing, and compliance under the Paris Agreement.

Budget Program 0089 focuses its intervention on 7 departments in Peru (Áncash, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huánuco, Huancavelica, Pasco, and Puno), characterized by high agricultural populations, low human development indicators, and high rates of soil degradation. The program outlines the public problem, target population, logical framework, products, activities, and technical processes for soil surveying, agro-ecological zoning, assessment of deterioration caused by erosion and salinization, and sustainable land management. It also describes mechanisms for training, technical assistance, and the generation of climatic and edaphic information, involving all three levels of government and institutions such as the Ministry of Agriculture, INIA, and SENAMHI.

Law 2539 of 2025 amends Law 160 of 1994 and Decree Law 902 of 2017 to explicitly include rural youth in the National System of Agrarian Reform and Rural Development. The law guarantees and prioritizes their progressive access to land, to productive projects aligned with their life plans, to sustainable rural productive activities, academic and technical training, financing mechanisms and associativity. It also secures their participation in territorial governance bodies, creates a specific budget tracer for rural youth, promotes innovation, the use of ICTs, cultural rootedness and special measures for young people who are victims of armed conflict, thereby contributing to comprehensive rural reform with a territorial, generational and ethnic approach.

The project develops and validates methodologies to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in dual-purpose livestock systems in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama, combining indirect analyses based on IPCC (2006) guidelines with experimental studies in pastures and direct measurements of enteric methane. By classifying farms according to their level of intensification, the initiative assesses CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions, their relationship with productivity, and key economic factors, demonstrating that farms with improved forage management and supplementation generate lower emissions per unit of product. In addition to producing local emission factors and more accurate Tier 2 calculation tools, the project strengthens producer capacities through training activities, promoting sustainable and competitive livestock systems with low GHG emissions.
