Descripción
In a bid to avert the devastating effects of the critical drought situation in Namibia, the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), with financial support from the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), availed N$10 million to assist 3250 drought-stricken farming households in seven drought-affected regions of Namibia. With this support and working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform (MAWLR), the Namibia National Farmers Union (NNFU), and the Namibia Commercial Farmers Union (NECFU); FAO and its partners availed supplementary livestock feed through the installation of hydroponic fodder production systems as well as veterinary inputs to restore and sustain the livelihoods of targeted beneficiaries.
