As the lead agency in the food security and agriculture sectors, FAO has been supporting the development of income-generation activities for vulnerable people and the rehabilitation and maintenance of traditional irrigation schemes for resettled displaced households, among other activities.

 

Through the 2008 CAP for Iraq, FAO will provide support to improve dietary diversity for poor, vulnerable households through the distribution of vegetable seeds and inputs and essential, quality fishing gear and equipment, as well as organize training in the use of these inputs. 

 

In addition, support will be provided to enhance evidence-based responses to the emerging food insecurity in Iraq through supporting the development of comprehensive food security analysis in the country.
