A week of strategic engagement & field insights. I welcomed @FAOEmergencies Director @reinpaulsen to Somalia. Together, we engaged government leaders, partners & communities to advance coordinated action linking emergency response, anticipatory action & long-term resilience.
From satellite imagery to a national land-cover map. #FAOSWALIM trained FGS/FMS institutions on Somalia’s interim raster LCLU dataset, strengthening national capacity in land-cover classification, mapping & modelling under the @theGCF-funded sustainable landscapes project.
From early warning to resilient recovery, @FAOemergencies Director @reinpaulsen’s mission to Somalia focused on protecting rural livelihoods, strengthening anticipatory action & linking emergency support with long-term resilience.
