A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Executive Director of the Global Dryland Alliance, Ambassador Bader Al Dafa and Professor Ibrahim Al Dakhiri, Director General of the Arab Organization for Agriculture Development on September 25, 2018 in Khartoum defining the framework of cooperation and partnership among both parties.
Food security is a growing challenge to most countries found on dryland areas. Drylands are home to nearly 2 billion people and cover over 40 percent of the world’s land surface. Dryland countries are extremely vulnerable to the adverse consequences of climate variability and change, which can have a devastating environmental impact on soil, water and biodiversity.
