FAO Resilience Building Projects Pay Off in El Niño Affected Communities
{"Image ImageDescription": "07 February 2016, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - Members of Eneb Animal Feed Producers Cooperative in AFra Region producing multi nutrient blocks, animal feed known as MNB, to be sold to their clients to make income. FAO\u2019s water and income diversification projects have become instrumental to tackle the negative impacts of El Ni\u00f1o induced drought for pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in the Afar Region of north eastern Ethiopia. Both date-palm and animal feed producers are organized in cooperatives established with the support of FAO. Cooperative members have benefits from these projects. They are especially very vital during this time when livestock feed is needed for feeding drought affected animals. Members get salary and dividends from the cooperative income from the sale of animal feed and date palm products.", "Image Copyright": "FAO. Editorial use only.
