MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somalia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Salah Ahmed Jama, on Wednesday inaugurated a new agriculture coordination platform established by the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, aimed at strengthening collaboration and harmonizing agricultural development programs across the country.
The platform brings together various government ministries and international agencies, including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), to align government initiatives with development partners and other stakeholders.
The initiative is designed to increase agricultural productivity and enhance food security by implementing a unified strategy for the development of Somalia’s agriculture sector.
