    Strong screening processes help to identify and avoid or mitigate risks associated with larger-scale investments in agriculture and food systems at the early stage of the investment assessment process before any commitment has been made, costs incurred, or harms suffered. They can also enable governments to identify and shape responsible projects, establish a country’s credibility as an investment destination with an effective enabling environment for responsible investment, establish good government – community – investor relationships, and lay the foundations for informed expectations and decisions about a proposed project. This publication seeks to unpack the “what, why, and how” of screening. Sections 1, 2, and 3 make up the “guidance” component of the publication and Annexes A and B contain a series of adaptable tools. These tools can be downloaded in Word and PDF formats below.

    Under its CFS RAI Umbrella Programme, FAO is strengthening the capacities of Liberian state and non-state actors to enhance the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems. This includes the present baseline study, drafted by ZOA with support from FAO; the delivery of blended learning programmes for policymakers; capacity development activities for civil society; and multi-stakeholder policy dialogue which is expected to result in concrete policy recommendations. These activities are carried out under the inter-regional project “Enhancing the enabling environment for responsible investment in agriculture and food systems” (GCP/INT/920/GER), which is funded by Germany. The project operates at global, regional, and country levels (Lao PDR, Liberia, and Sierra Leone).
