CGIAR: Food, Agriculture and Livelihood Week

Bodour and her granddaughter, Lames, 6, preparing lunch at home.

Bodour and her granddaughter, Lames, 6, preparing lunch at home. 75-year-old Bodour used to work as a housekeeper. Her husband died a long time ago. After her daughter and son-in-law were killed in an airstrike in 2016, Bodour fled her home with her granddaughter, Lames, now 6. She left everything behind. Today Bodour struggles to make ends meet supporting her granddaughter and two blind sons. WFP is supporting Bodour and her family with food vouchers that are redeemable for flour, pulses, oil, sugar and salt. “WFP came to us, registered us, and provided us with a food basket,” explains Bodour. “If there had been no support, we would have died of hunger. We cannot afford anything.” Taiz is a war-ravaged city, split by a frontline. It is one one of WFP’s largest urban caseloads. WFP provides nutrition support as well as general food assistance. WFP has also run development programmes (FFA) in some severely conflict damaged villages on edge of Taiz. Before the war, Taiz was a prosperous city that was a major trading commercial hub for Yemen.

The Expo 2020 Dubai’s Food, Agriculture & Livelihoods week runs from 17-23 February 2022 and is a global moment of opportunity, highlighting the urgent need for everyone, everywhere to come together to make choices that benefit both people and the planet, and drive action to deliver on our promises on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Join Dr. Claudia Sadoff, Managing Director, Research Delivery & Impact, CGIAR, as she speaks at “European Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategy: how innovation can support the transition towards global sustainable food systems” on Feb 19, 2022. This event will focus on the importance of the transition towards a sustainable global food system and will highlight the role that multi-lateral and multi-actor research and innovation projects can play to help achieve this goal.
