{{Rwanda is slated to benefit from Israel assistance aimed at addressing the issue of food security.}} <\/p>\n
International development agencies in Israel and America last week signed a memorandum of understanding to increase cooperation on food aid to Africa.<\/p>\n
The MOU allows for closer cooperation on the issue of food security in four countries: Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Rwanda. <\/p>\n
The assistance will include help with food production and crop cycles, as well as addressing environmental issues that go beyond the agricultural sector. <\/p>\n
The MOU between USAID and Mashav (the Israel Agency for International Development Cooperation in the Foreign Ministry) was the first of its kind, according to Mashav head Daniel Carmon, \u201cthis MOU is not the start of the relationship; it\u2019s the continuing and the strengthening of the relationship.\u201d <\/p>\n
Carmon noted that development \u2013 alongside diplomacy and security \u2013 was one of the pillars of Israel\u2019s foreign policy and said that increasing cooperation with USAID was not only \u201cthe right thing to do but the smart thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
