Today I met with H.E. Ambassador @SGatti_IT, Director General for Development Cooperation, Italy, to reflect on our Food Corridor Investment Project — an initiative that deliberately links agriculture, climate, trade, and infrastructure into a single, coherent investment agenda. Africa's food security challenge has never been about a shortage of ideas or potential. It is about connecting them — aligning the policies and the capital that move food from farm to market, that build climate resilience into our value chains, and that turn the AfCFTA's promise into functioning regional corridors. We are grateful to the Government of Italy for its continued partnership and shared commitment to a prosperous, food-secure, and integrated Africa — anchored in the aspirations of Agenda 2063. 🌍🇮🇹 #AUDANEPAD #Agenda2063 #FoodSecurity #AfricaItaly #DevelopmentCooperation #AfCFTA

𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐋, 𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍 "Today, I had the opportunity to inaugurate seven new Mobile Registration Vans that will help bring BISP registration services closer to people living in remote areas of Pakistan. This is not the launch of a new programme, but an important expansion of an existing initiative. With these seven additional vehicles, the fleet has grown from 25 to 32 vans, further strengthening outreach to underserved communities. Since 2022, this initiative has enabled the registration of approximately 1.3 million people. We will continue supporting these efforts while closely monitoring their effectiveness and impact. The German Government remains committed to working closely with BISP and other development partners to strengthen social protection systems in Pakistan. Beyond mobile registration services, our support also extends to initiatives such as the Nashonuma Programme and the Adaptive Social Protection Programme, which aim to improve nutrition outcomes and build more responsive and resilient social protection systems. #GermanyInPakistan #BISP #MobileRegistrationVans #DevelopmentCooperation #AdaptiveSocialProtection #LeaveNoOneBehind @GermanyinPAK
