A significant development has taken place in Somalia regarding climate resilience funding to boost agricultural productivity in the country.

On Wednesday, it emerged that the East African nation is the proud recipient of $100 million from the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The approval of the funds by the GCF for climate-resilient agriculture will be crucial for addressing the impacts of climate change on Somalia’s agricultural sector.

This funding will help implement sustainable agricultural practices, improve food security, and enhance the resilience of communities vulnerable to climate-related shocks like droughts and floods.

It also aligns with Somalia’s broader goals of improving environmental management and promoting sustainable development.
