The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) inaugurated the Agricultural Production Systems Development Project in Karakalpakstan – Uzbekistan during a high-level field visit to the project sites. Launched in 2022 with a total investment of AED18.7 million (US$5 million) from Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), this landmark project is set to transform the agricultural landscape of Karakalpakstan. Since 2019, the Center and ICBA have jointly implemented scientific and practical projects, including the sustainable agriculture initiative in Karakalpakstan, supported by the Abu Dhabi Development Fund and other partners. These efforts strengthen food security, support climate change adaptation, and improve livelihoods in the Aral Sea region, while highlighting Uzbekistan’s active role in addressing global environmental challenges. As the international community seeks scalable pathways to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, this initiative stands out as a practical model of triangular South–South cooperation.
