Today we strengthened our @FAO & @WorldVision partnership, building on over a decade of excellent collaboration.

Our focus is on increasing resilience of vulnerable rural communities who depend on AGRICULTURE in fragile contexts – supporting local production & their livelihoods.

Just wrapped up three days with ALL @FAO country representatives in Bangkok.

Terrific time for us to share, learn and design together. Especially proud of my FAO sisters leading country and liaison offices and divisions - they are committed, strong and inspiring! ❤️

The @UN is appealing for $47 billion to help 190 million people in 72 countries in 2025.

@FAO's modest yet critical allocation request is for $1.9 billion to save lives & livelihoods of some of the world's most food-insecure – enabling them to grow food locally & reduce hunger.

Glad to meet HE Sultan Al Shamsi, #UAE Assistant Minister for Development Affairs and Int'l Organisations, on sidelines of Cairo Ministerial Conference on Gaza.

Thanked him for supporting @FAO’s emergency agriculture work in #Sudan & discussed assisting more countries in crisis.

FAO's message at Ministerial Conference to enhance Humanitarian Response in #Gaza, hosted by @AlsisiOfficial:

Agrifood systems have collapsed. @FAO is ready to scale up emergency AGRICULTURE aid to restore local FOOD production.
