The two
countries of Somalia and Kenya are among the first countries to benefit from the
Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO's) new Early Warning Early Action Fund
(EWEA), reports NaijaAgroNet.
The fund, NaijaAgroNet gathered, ensures quick
activation of emergency plans when there is a high likelihood of a disaster
that would affect agriculture and people's food and nutrition security.
Also, NaijaAgroNet reports that the fund
will be part of a larger Early Warning Early Action System that tracks climate
data and earth imaging to determine what areas are at risk of an imminent shock
and will benefit from early intervention.
Although at the
time of filing this report, FAO has not disclosed how much the benefits to the
two countries are worth.
