 ems in Arab LDCs”\, and convened food systems focal points and climate r
 epresentatives from Djibouti\, Mauritania\, Somalia\, Sudan\, and Yemen\,

 . It builds on the country’s ongoing efforts to strengthen convergence b
 etween food systems transformation and climate action\, including the deve
