The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), in collaboration with the National Convenor for Food Systems Transformation in Sudan, and the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD), are organizing the capacity building workshop “Advancing Coherent Climate and Food Systems Action in Sudan”. The workshop will bring together government officials from food systems, climate, environment, agriculture, water, and related sectors, alongside development partners and technical experts, to strengthen coordination and promote more integrated action across these interlinked agendas.
This workshop is part of the project “Bridging the Climate-Food Nexus: Coherent Climate Action and Food System Transformation for Resili… (2025–2028), which aims to support Arab LDCs in aligning food systems transformation processes with national climate action plans. The project was officially launched in Amman, Jordan, on 4–5 December 2025 under the title “Climate and Food: Building Resilient Food Systems in Arab LDCs”, and convened food systems focal points and climate representatives from Djibouti, Mauritania, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, alongside regional and international experts.
This workshop in Sudan is the first in a series of three national capacity-building workshops planned under the project between 2026 and 2028. It marks the beginning of a structured engagement to strengthen national capacities, foster cross‑sectoral coordination, and support Sudan in advancing coherent climate and food systems action throughout the project’s implementation period.
