As young leaders of tomorrow, youth are critical to achieving the #SDGs and #ZeroHunger. Get inspired by Sibeso, a 22-year old growing drought-tolerant crops using climate-smart agriculture to improve her livelihood and support her family 💪 KfW #ZambiaYouthDay

The Horn of Africa #drought has degraded land & reduced the ability of soil to retain moisture + nutrients. In Ethiopia's Somali region, World Food Programme has introduced half-moon shaped basins to rehabilitate land & change lives. Watch the half-moons turn green as Shukri explains more!💚👇
