Somalia has signed a financial agreement with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (Ifad) which will see Mogadishu receive up to $31.22 million for support programmes related to food security in rural areas.

The money is to be channelled under the Rural Livelihood Resilience Programme (RLRP), aimed at improving food security and resilience in rural areas.
