💧 On June 26 and 27, the Eswatini Youth in Water Initiative (EYWI) promoted youth involvement in the water sector by providing safe spaces to share their concerns and recommendations with decision-makers. ✅ Why is this important? The Valuing Water Initiative Programme (VWI) wants to include young people's views in decisions about water. Including young people helps us plan better for the future of water management. It leads to more sustainable and fair solutions.

🌍 In response to the global food crisis, the Accelerating Resilient Food Systems in Africa (ARFSA) programme has selected six new projects. In these projects, civil society organisations, businesses and knowledge institutes will work together to strengthen local food systems in 6 African countries. They will receive funding from the ARFSA subsidy programme. 🌾 ARFSA is committed to improving food productivity, stability, and sustainability, adding value to national and regional markets. The selected projects, in Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, South Sudan, and Uganda, will develop strong local food systems over the next 2 to 3 years. These systems are made to handle challenges like climate change, pandemics, and conflict.
