After the signing of the agreement, Eisa Osman, South Kordofan Minister of Agriculture, stated that the $5 million project aims to enhance peace and security in the war-torn region by encouraging agricultural production.
“The agreement is important for all communities of South Kordofan,” he said. “Peace is a priority for us. Security and stability in the region encourage the many displaced farmers to return to their areas.”
The project will also train women farmers in the Nuba Mountains.
