FAO is implementing a project entitled "EU for Hayah Karima - EU support to Rural Development, Climate Change Resilience and Nutrition" in Upper Egypt. The Action is in line with a major Egyptian initiative, Hayah Karima (Decent Life), launched in 2019 initially for five years, which seeks to improve the life and livelihoods of 57 million Egyptians in rural areas by renovating local infrastructures, upgrading basic services, and creating jobs.

The project will support rural development, food and nutrition security, and climate change resilience in 120 villages in Assiut, Sohag, and Qena governorates. It is focused on supporting the farmers in improving agriculture and irrigation techniques and rural communities' income generation through employment and skills development opportunities. FAO action will help in managing food losses through value chain analysis and value addition of income-generating crops, transformation of agricultural waste into economic secondary products, and strengthening the capacity of value chain actors in food safety and waste management.
