The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) continues stressing the need for improving food security in the region.

The regional body states that food security in the region remains its top priority and focus just as it was during the high-level meeting held in Nairobi two months ago.

Participants at the meeting addressed the ongoing challenges related to food insecurity.

Their discussions delved into the need to develop strategies for enhancing agricultural productivity and resilience in the region as well.

Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and South Sudan are among the IGAD member countries experiencing the effects of food insecurity in the Horn of Africa region.

Participants discussed the impacts of climate change, conflict, and economic instability on food systems and emphasized the importance of regional cooperation and innovative approaches to achieve sustainable food security.
