The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has launched a $95 million, seven-year climate-resilient agriculture project called "Ugbaad" in Somalia. The initiative aims to strengthen Somalia’s agrifood systems, restore degraded landscapes, and protect the livelihoods of farmers. With agriculture supporting 65% of the country’s population, the project plays a crucial role in enhancing food security and climate adaptation efforts. Somalia’s Deputy Prime Minister has emphasized the government’s commitment to tackling climate challenges as the nation faces increasing weather shocks.
