FAO Resilience Building Projects Pay Off in El Niño Affected Communities

08 February 2016, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - FAO supports various irrigation projects in the region - construction diversion and providing improved maize and vegetable seeds for the agro-pastoralists. FAO supports the Afar regional governmentҳ effort to improve the livelihood of pastoral and semi-pastoral households through animal and crop production, animal health and feed, water supply for livestock, crop and fodder based irrigation and livelihood diversifications. These projects have partly built the resilience of the local communities against natural hazards like the ongoing drought which affected nearly half a million people in the region. FAOҳ water and income diversification projects have become instrumental to tackle the negative impacts of El Niño induced drought for pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in the Afar Region of north eastern Ethiopia.
