13  UNEP ON THE GROUND
New tree seedling nursery for Sudan

UNEP has signed an agreement to establish a new forest nursery to provide much-needed seedlings and bring farmer education and extension support closer to communities in North Darfur.

 

Over the past two years, UNEP has been working closely with partners in Darfur to promote more sustainable ways of managing natural resources for communities along one of the biggest seasonal rivers in North Darfur.

 

The new nursery was inaugurated by the State Minister of Environment, the Commissioner of El Fasher Locality, a representative from Dar El Salaam Locality, the FNC and UNEP at an event attended by more than 100 people, including NGO representatives.

 

Visiting from Geneva to show support for the environment and forestry in Sudan, Mr. Henrik Slotte – Head of UNEP’s Post-Conflict and Disaster Management Branch (PCDMB) - was present, alongside North Darfur’s State Minister of Environment, the Commissioner of El Fasher Locality, the Director of FNC North Darfur and implementing partner Practical Action.

 

The agreement was penned with the state’s Forest National Corporation (FNC) as part of the Wadi El Ku project there funded by the European Commission.
