UNDP Iraq’s Post

Towards Climate-Smart Agriculture in #Iraq.   UNDP, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and with the generous support of USAID, brought together passionate individuals for a dialogue on "Iraq Towards Climate-Smart Agriculture." This initiative aimed to provide actionable recommendations for enhancing the agricultural sector's performance.   Through sharing stories, insights, and innovative strategies, we fostered a collaborative environment focused on sustainable agriculture.   The discussions led to several key recommendations, including a detailed report using satellite imagery analysis, vital policy reforms, and plans for ongoing conversations among stakeholders to build strong partnerships.

Diyala Celebrates the Reopening of Baqubah Nursery Today! 🌱 In a significant boost to local agriculture, the #Baqubah Nursery was officially reopened, marking a vital milestone in #Diyala’s agricultural development. Through the partnership between the Government of #Japan and UNDP, over 4,000 farmers in Diyala can now access more than 25,000 seedlings annually, supported by modern irrigation techniques and solar energy, the nursery plays a crucial role in the local community, producing a diverse range of plants and trees, including fruit-bearing trees such as citrus, apple, pomegranate, and fig, as well as ornamental and shade trees. The rebuilding of the nursery represents a tangible investment in the future of the liberated areas of #Iraq. Farmers will benefit greatly from this project, as they will receive a wide range of seedlings at prices lower than those available on the market. In addition, farmers can learn modern irrigation techniques and how to harness solar energy on their farms. This transfer of knowledge is invaluable, promoting sustainable farming practices and boosting overall agricultural productivity in the region. This initiative has been implemented by UNDP in collaboration with Welthungerhilfe Iraq and generous funding from the Government of #Japan, through collaborative efforts and sustained support from the international community, Iraq moves closer to realizing lasting stability and prosperity for all its citizens.
