A year ago FAO Director-General QU Dongyu, Cindy McCain & Alvaro Lario – the Principals of the United Nations Rome-based agencies (RBAs) – visited South Sudan. And this year, we're building on our commitment to serve the people of #SouthSudan. Thank you World Food Programme Rukia Abdullahi & International Fund for Agricultural Development Sara Mbago-Bhunu for joining me!

A memorable mission to #SouthSudan! Despite challenges, there's untapped potential for agriculture. Highlights: - meeting local communities (farmers, herders, fishermen & women, agripreneurs) - seeing impact of Food and Agriculture Organization's work thru water infrastructures & training for canoe builders

Thanks Melissa for asking what keeps me #AwakeatNight. Growing up on a farm & now serving at Food and Agriculture Organization, I see farmers increasingly becoming the most vulnerable. Conflict & the climate crisis make it harder to grow food, tend animals & provide for families. 📻bit.ly/32NK3oP
