UN agriculture project to help farmers in Nuba Mountains region of Sudan
Sudan - About 150,000 people in Sudan's troubled Nuba Mountains region have received seeds, tools and construction materials as part of a scheme by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to rehabilitate the area's farming industry.
The project - which aims to revive degraded agricultural land, create dams and build up stores of seeds - is designed to benefit farmers living on both sides of the long-running civil conflict between the Sudanese Government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM).
