🌾 Turning Commitments into Action
Opening the Agrifood Systems Learning Event on behalf of the #IGAD Executive Secretary, H.E. @DrWorkneh, our Director, Mr. Omar Djama, called for stronger political leadership and regional collaboration to translate agrifood systems commitments into action.
“Commitments alone will not transform our food systems. We need investment, strong institutions, regional integration and political leadership.”
He highlighted the complementary roles of the IGAD Committee of Ambassadors and the IGAD Parliamentary Forum on Agrifood Systems in advancing legislation, national priorities, investment, oversight and regional cooperation.
🌍 He further stressed that no Member State can transform its agrifood system in isolation, underscoring regional collaboration as a necessity for building resilient, inclusive and sustainable agrifood systems.

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere. While we honor the progress made, we must also recognize the millions of women still facing injustice, violence, and inequality. To the women fighting battles, both seen and unseen—you are not alone. To those breaking barriers, raising their voices, and lifting others—your impact is invaluable. And to every woman simply surviving in a world that often makes it difficult—you are worthy, you are strong, and you are never alone.
May this day remind us that true empowerment means leaving no woman behind. Let’s continue working towards a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.
Stay powerful, stay unstoppable.#Accelerateaction #IWD #ForALLWomen #breakthebias #strivenotsurvive #EmpowerHer
