Women are the backbone of our agriculture. This means providing them with access to knowledge, technology, and resources to adapt to changing conditions. It also involves giving them a seat at the decision-making table, ensuring that their voices are heard in crafting policies and strategies related to agriculture and climate resilience.
In the community stabilization program, military-aged men and women are given job training and then jobs. The aim is hopefully diverting unemployed men and women from engaging in activities counter to the stability and development of Iraq.
