The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agrarian Reform of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao have launched a new partnership to revitalize fisheries and aquaculture across the region. Backed by the government of Japan, the initiative builds on years of collaboration to transform agriculture and fisheries into drivers of peace, productivity and resilience. From emergency response and disaster risk reduction to empowering women, youth, internally displaced persons and former combatants, FAO has long worked with the Bangsamoro government and Mafar to make recovery more inclusive and sustainable.
