AIDF’s live webinar on ‘Improving Adoption of Climate Smart Agriculture Innovations in Africa’ last week received an overwhelming response! Our nearly 600 registrations, over 543 companies from 77 countries, was a testament to our incredible speakers, David Del Conte, Deputy Head of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), Noelle O'Brien, Team Leader of the Finance Innovation for Climate Change Fund (FICCF) and Engida Mandefro, Deputy Secretary General for Disaster Risk Management for Red Cross Ethiopia. Hear their insights by watching the webinar recording here.
Head here to check out ADIF’s latest news updates. Notably, UNICEF provides extensive technical and financial support to North-East Africa, having treated over one million children for severe acute malnutrition. In collaboration with the Malala Fund, Apple is undertaking plans to support the education of underprivileged females. Meanwhile, the FAO is launching a new campaign to empower Indigenous women, arguing their heightened discrimination makes them highly vulnerable and heightens poverty and malnutrition.
