Morocco will send 27 farming experts and technicians to Niger to work with local experts, as part of an agreement between the two countries, the Islamic Development Bank and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The agreement is part of FAO's South-South Cooperation Program, a global initiative that aims to strengthen cooperation among developing countries at different stages of development to improve agricultural productivity and ensure access to food for all.
The Moroccan experts will work in Niger for three years, contributing their knowledge in areas such as water management, crop intensification and farming systems diversification, with emphasis on animal husbandry and small-scale fisheries.
