for the Near East and North Africa at the

Waer said that
“the observatory is working to provide the best results for the countries of
Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon”, adding that “FAO is participating in the Arab
four-way meeting by supporting Jordan’s initiative to establish an observatory
for the Levant region, which will monitor everything related to food security
variables, and follow up on issues related to climate change, local productions
and trade, whether international, regional or among these countries.”
The observatory, he
said, will provide accurate analysis supported by artificial intelligence that
will enable policy and strategy makers in these countries to redraw policies
and strategies to address food security challenges.
Waer added that
“the food security crisis is global and requires a global solution, but there
are peculiarities that differ from one region to another, and therefore
solutions always start with sub-regional initiatives; this initiative began
with four countries, and we hope that the rest of the Arab countries will join
and expand it.”
