 In the western part of southern Africa, where the challenges are as vast as the landscapes, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is working hand-in-hand with Namibia's Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform to build resilience and safeguard the livelihoods of vulnerable communities in Namibia through innovative climate adaptation approaches fostered through partnerships. FAO is proud to partner with the government of Japan, Ministry of Agriculture, Water and Land Reform to support communities in Namibia to more resilience in face of climate change. It's only through partnership that we can be able to help farming communities. With the generous support of the government of Japan, FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture are implementing an emergency response to mitigate multiple shocks and enhance resilient livelihoods in Namibia. The project is targeting 6,100 farming households across four vulnerable regions, namely Onguena, Kavango West, Zambezi and Karas. During the recent mission to the Kavango West region, where stakeholders met with the beneficiaries, Kavango West Governor Circa Ossiku amplified the importance of capacity development of farmers regarding ongoing training and intervention throughout the project. Our expectation is that they will put these supports to good use, to enhance productivity and production, diversify livelihoods, contribute to food production at both household and regional levels, but this thing of depending on other regions or other countries for food that we consume here locally, I think it's the messages that we have to start really producing our own food. The mission included a symbolic handover of agricultural tools and inputs. These tools represent more than just assistance. They symbolize resilience. They empower local farmers to withstand harsh climate change effects, building resilience, leaving no one behind.
