Eritrea: Training on Organic Fertilizer and Pesticide Production
A training program on the production of organic fertilizers and pesticides was held in Sawa from 27 April to 3 May for members of the national service training center. The theoretical and practical sessions were organized by the Ministry of Agriculture under the theme 'Our Waste is Our Resource.'
Mr. Dermas Siltan, one of the trainers, said the training focused on the production of solid and liquid fertilizers, natural pesticides, and livestock treatment methods, while also addressing the impacts of chemical pesticides. He noted that this training would greatly enhance soil fertility and agricultural productivity.
Lt. Col. Andebrhan Tedros, Chairman of the committee overseeing the program, stressed the importance of utilizing locally available materials for producing organic fertilizers and pesticides.
Trainees, in turn, called for similar training programs to be extended nationwide, for greater control over the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and for the provision of organic alternatives to farmers at fair prices.

Empowering voices, cultivating resilience: Farmer Field Schools transform lives in Zimbabwe's Sebungwe Landscape
In Zimbabwe's Kariba District, a quiet transformation is taking place driven by knowledge, inclusion, and resilience. Supported by the Embassy of Ireland through UNDP and led by FAO in partnership with the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, the ZRBF 2 bridging fund project 'Resilience Building in the Sebungwe Landscape' is unlocking the potential of local communities to lead the way in climate-smart agriculture and natural resources management. Shifting mindsets: From command to collaboration Simbarashe Kashiri, a young extension officer in Ward 4, Kariba shared how the training changed his outlook. 'I initially thought extension work was all about giving orders to farmers,' Simbarashe reflects. 'But now I understand the power of facilitation. In the Kujatana FFS group I helped establish, farmers are making their own decisions, and they're thriving.' That group, aptly named Kujatana (which means 'working together' in the local language), has 88 percent women, and is already reaping the rewards of collaboration. They are cultivating tomatoes and producing organic compost from goat manure using the Bokashi method - a climate-smart practice that enhances soil fertility while promoting food security and sustainable farming. Simbarashe's experience is just one among many inspired by the project's holistic, community-driven approach. Across nine wards in Kariba, 13 AGRITEX officers have been trained in the FFS model, resulting in the establishment of 12 Farmer Field Schools. More than just learning hubs, these schools are becoming spaces of empowerment, experimentation, and collective problem-solving, particularly for women and youth, who are leading the way in building local resilience. Linking local knowledge with strategic objectives The FFS approach not only improves local agricultural practices but also aligns with national and global sustainability targets. It supports FAO's Strategic Framework (2022–2031), which seeks to promote Better Production, Better Nutrition, a Better Environment, and a Better Life, leaving no one behind. 'This project contributes directly to FAO's Strategic Framework by promoting sustainable food systems and inclusive rural transformation through capacity building, climate-smart agriculture, and stakeholder engagement. The adoption of the Farmer Field School approach exemplifies how local innovation and empowerment are essential to achieving resilience and sustainable development,' said Alexander Carr the Resilience Building in the Sebungwe Landscape, Project Coordinator. The project supports UN SDGs 1, 2, and 10, reinforcing the right to food, gender equality, and decent rural livelihoods. 'Particularly by advancing SDG Target 2.4 (sustainable food production systems) and promoting gender-sensitive value chains that create economic opportunities in rural areas,' asserted Obert Maminimini, FAO Crops and Extension Specialist. From chickens to chilies: Creating climate-smart livelihoods Through participatory processes involving over 240 farmers, seven climate-smart value chains were identified and analyzed: goats, cattle, indigenous chickens, sorghum, fish, sesame, and chilies. These value chains are being nurtured to enhance food and nutrition security, reduce environmental pressure, and increase household incomes. The promotion of these value chains reflects the project's broader vision: to create a landscape of resilience, where ecological conservation and human development go hand in hand. Alongside community empowerment, the project has laid a strong technical foundation for sustainable development. A high-resolution Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) map was developed using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, and ecological connectivity for elephants was modelled to guide land planning. These tools are vital for aligning conservation priorities with local livelihoods. More than 20 institutional stakeholders, including local government, conservation agencies, traditional leaders, and NGOs were engaged in mapping and consultation processes. This level of participation is essential for ensuring community ownership and policy alignment. Collaboration for long-term impact The Sebungwe project is not a standalone effort. It builds upon previous work under the EU-funded SWM 2 initiative and integrates FAO's GEF-7 supported Integrated Landscape Planning Model. Together with partners such as Nyaminyami Rural District Council, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, African Parks, and Peace Parks, the project lays the groundwork for a comprehensive, coordinated resilience-building strategy in Zimbabwe. In addition, the project's success in integrating ecological and socio-economic priorities through land use planning, natural resources governance, and value chain development sets the stage for the larger European Union funded Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF) Phase 2 implementation.

A Tapestry of Triumph: A Celebration of Independence, Equality, and Inclusion
Just several weeks ago, Eritreans across the country and around the world – joined by innumerable friends and well-wishers – joyously celebrated the nation's hard-won independence. The occasion, along with the period surrounding it, was marked by spirited festivities, exuberant gatherings, and a huge outpouring of pride and excitement. Eritrea's independence, achieved through immense sacrifice in both blood and treasure, holds profound significance. Accordingly, Independence Day – together with Martyrs Day, which is commemorated in June – is recognized as one of the most important and revered dates on the national calendar. A central and inspiring theme woven through the many events and activities, especially those held across various regions of Eritrea, was the celebration of the country's rich and colourful diversity. For instance, attending events in Asmara provided a unique opportunity to witness and engage with individuals and groups that represented the broad tapestry of Eritrean society: men and women of all ages; residents from each of the country's six administrative regions; followers of different religious faiths; people from various socioeconomic backgrounds; and members of the nation's diverse ethnolinguistic communities. These inclusive gatherings fostered an atmosphere of warmth, camaraderie, and national pride, where people came together to smile, share in the joy, and celebrate their collective identity. More than just a commemoration of independence, the period served as a vivid and powerful expression of one of Eritrea's most beautiful and defining attributes: peace and unity in diversity. Diversity – whether in terms of race, religion, ethnicity, language, or culture – can be a powerful catalyst for the flourishing of new perspectives, the birth of innovative ideas, and the cultivation of creativity and dynamism. It often acts as a driving force behind progress, enriching communities, societies, and nations alike. However, history – at both the global level and even the continental and regional level – offers many sobering examples where diversity, if poorly managed or misunderstood, has instead fuelled societal fragmentation, discord, and at times, violent conflict. As a multi-ethnic and multicultural nation, Eritrea has remained firmly committed to promoting peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and national unity. Its development and nation-building efforts are rooted in the foundational principles of equality and social justice. The country places unwavering emphasis on ensuring that all Eritreans – irrespective of ethnicity, religion, gender, or social status – have the right and opportunity to fully participate in, contribute to, and benefit from sustainable development. The country's laws, regulations, and policies, anchored in deeply held socio-cultural values, create a robust framework for inclusive political, social, and economic development. National legislation expressly prohibits and penalizes discrimination, exclusion, or preference based on disability, ethnicity, colour, religion, socioeconomic background, language, gender, or any similar distinction. Over the past thirty years, Eritrea has developed and implemented a wide range of policies and legal instruments tailored to uplift and support vulnerable and marginalized groups. These include the poor, women, children, persons with disabilities, nomadic communities, and those living in remote or underserved regions. These interventions are designed to close social and economic gaps and to foster equitable opportunities across all segments of society. The objective is clear: to ensure that every Eritrean is empowered to pursue success and partake in the benefits of inclusive growth and national progress. To that end, essential health services are provided at no cost, and individuals with chronic illnesses or other serious conditions receive free medical care and necessary medications. Similarly, the country's education policy guarantees free access to schooling from primary through tertiary levels. These commitments are bolstered by several complementary initiatives designed to promote inclusivity and equal opportunity, such as the mother-tongue education policy, adult literacy programs, and outreach learning efforts. An additional cornerstone of inclusive development – especially relevant given the large proportion of the population that resides in rural areas and depends on agriculture and pastoralism for livelihood – is the Minimum Integrated Household Agricultural Package (MIHAP). Launched in 2007, MIHAP has positively impacted thousands of rural households, including many headed by women. The package includes one improved dairy cow (or 12 goats), 25 chickens, two beehives, 20 trees (a mix of fruit-bearing, leguminous, and firewood species), a vegetable plot, cropland, and sustained technical support from Ministry of Agriculture experts. This comprehensive approach promotes food security, increases household income, and strengthens community resilience. In sum, Eritrea's enduring dedication to social justice and equality has not only enhanced the inclusiveness and vibrancy of the nation but has also been instrumental in nurturing peace, stability, and cohesion. By valuing diversity and upholding the dignity of all its citizens, Eritrea continues to build a more united, equitable, and prosperous future. It is this very spirit – of unity in diversity, of resilience grounded in equality – that was so vividly on display during the recent Independence Day celebrations, offering a glimpse into the kind of future the nation continues to strive for.
