    The RWEE Project is based on specific benificiaries needs in Tunisia, which is the first country selected in the NENA region. This project is extended to five years (2022–2027) and takes into consideration the specific context of Tunisia across two governorates: Kairouan and Jendouba. The RWEE project reaches 3 000 beneficiaries and includes 14 400 household members. The programme will target 2 220 women and 780 men as direct beneficiaries. This programme is considered an example of four UN System agencies (FAO, PAM, IFAD, UN WOMEN) successfully coordinating for more added value in the implementation of project activities.

    The FAO projects in Southern Iraq, funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), aim to improve water productivity, food security, and climate resilience for rural households. The GAC project ($7.3 million) focuses on empowering women through Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) and installing solar panels to enhance irrigation. The SIDA project ($10.2 million) promotes CSA, post-harvest improvements, and policy dialogue on water efficiency. Both initiatives align with the Green Climate Fund’s efforts to strengthen climate resilience in Iraq's agricultural sector.
