ProjectFactsheetStrengthening the Capacity and Engagement of Young Somali Professionals in Agriculture and Food Security for National Resilience-Building - TCP/SOM/3802 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Somalia is emerging from decades of conflict and a breakdown of state institutions, including those responsible for leading, coordinating and advancing progress in the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors. However, the process of revitalizing institutions is challenged by a lack of qualified and experienced staff in local job markets, as well as recent university graduates who have yet to gain the relevant technical and organizational experience and training required to work in line ministries, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and United Nations (UN) agencies. Although Somalia’s work force has considerable potential, including individuals from the diaspora, many require proper training and exposure to the agriculture and food security sectors. Such preparation would render them better suited for employment within these sectors, enabling them to make meaningful contributions toward attaining national and rural development objectives. As such, this project aimed to enable and empower young agricultural leaders to help shape and contribute to agricultural development in Somalia. It aimed to recruit 20 university-trained national professionals to participate in a ten-month internship programme for junior technical professionals, in collaboration with relevant authorities. -

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
