FAO has received funding from ECHO to build capacity for food and nutrition security programming in emergency and rehabilitation contexts on different aspects, including on seed security assessment. One way to develop this capacity is to improve knowledge exchange, broaden participation, provide accessible informational resources among the practitioners, and seek technical support from among a pool of practitioners. The ECHO project is therefore supporting and promoting this Community of Practice in four target countries of the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and South-Sudan) to allow seed security practitioners to connect and learn from each other.
