Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on Monday officially launched a seven-year project with Somalia that aims to enhance climate adaptation and resilience for vulnerable communities in the country.
The 95 million-U.S.-dollar “Climate Resilient Agriculture in Somalia” project, dubbed “Ugbaad” which means hope in Somali, will tackle climate change challenges and strengthen agrifood systems through large-scale investment, the FAO said in a statement.
Speaking at the launch event in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, Deputy Prime Minister Salah Jama emphasized the government’s commitment to tackling climate change.
“Through the Ugbaad project, we are integrating climate action into our National Transformation Plan, creating opportunities to restore landscapes, secure resilient livelihoods, and build a sustainable future for all,” Jama said.
