Extension Services Innovation in the Arab Region
The GFRAS network is expanding to the Arab Region with strong support from local governments, FAO, and IFAD, advancing advisory services. The Arab Forum for Rural Advisory Services (AFRAS) held its first annual meeting in Amman, with 17 countries working to enhance service delivery for farmers, boost food security, and promote stability. Previously absent from the global GFRAS network, the Arab Region is now integrating into the global space, aligning international expertise with local needs, contributing to rural transformation and achieving the SDGs.
