24 February 2017--- In response to a request for assistance made by the Government of Republic of Namibia in 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea have donated USD 200,000 to improve water infrastructures for better access to water. Namibia is suffering from persistent drought due to poor rainfall received over the past three years. As a result, this has adversely affected the food security status of subsistence farmers by reducing their access to food and potential income from sale of agricultural products. The assistance will be implemented by the Directorate of Disaster Risk Management of the Office of the Prime Minister and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
