The Women Development Organization, WDO, and the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development, AOAD, signed a joint Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, to collaborate on the empowerment of women in the agricultural field across the Arab region and OIC member states. This strategic partnership - signed by H.E. Dr Afnan Alshuaiby, Executive Director of WDO, and H.E.
