The Ministry of Agriculture and the Embassy of Denmark announced a strategic development project of $28m that aims to rehabilitate the agricultural sector in South Lebanon, particularly in villages and areas affected by the conflict, within the framework of a comprehensive approach to agricultural recovery and sustainable rural development. The ministry said that Denmark  will contribute $5m to the project, while the European Union and the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the development arm of France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, will provide the balance of $23m.  Further, the ministry said that the initiative consists of defining the funding priorities to maximize the project’s developmental impact; the review of the results of the field damage assessment that the Ministry of Agriculture will conduct in cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to serve as a scientific and technical foundation for the agricultural rehabilitation program; and the establishment of institutional cooperation mechanisms with the Ministry of Agriculture, particularly through the adoption of the agricultural registry as a primary reference for identifying beneficiaries and ensuring transparency and fairness in the distribution of support.
