Abstract
This report is an output of a FAO Technical Cooperation Consultancy Mission (TCP Project Number: TCP/NAU/3301) to Nauru requested by the Government of the Republic of Nauru. The aim of the mission was to collect relevant information to provide an assessment and recommendations on the necessary actions required for sustainable crop and livestock developments in Nauru, and where appropriate, draft approriate FAO Technical Cooperation Project proposals for funding to be considered by FAO.

The mission took place from 2-23 May 2012. The consultant was given seven main tasks for this mission in accordance with the Terms of Reference (TOR). A key part of the mission was focussed on consultations with government agencies and stakeholders involved in Agriculture activities. This was a major undertaking that required meetings with as many officials from government agencies and field visits to as many of the relevant stakeholders as possible. This mission report outlines the findings of the consultancy and necessary actions for improving the development of agriculture in Nauru. From the findings of the mission, 3 Technical Cooperation Projects (TCPs) have been identified as critical to the advancement of the Agriculture Sector in Nauru to contribute to
improve food production, food security and sustainable livelihoods in Nauru. The TCP projects identified include: 1. TCP for the Strengthening of the Institutional Capacity of the Department of Agriculture. 2. TCP for Nauru Household Integrated Agro-Forestry & Crop Utilisation 3. TCP for Nauru Household Small Scale Poultry Production The detailed draft TCP Project Proposals are attached as attachments 4, 5 and 6.
