Founded in 2024, the Al-Sahab Organization focuses on developing the agricultural sector and facilitating policies to support food security. We restore agricultural livelihoods, increase market development opportunities for farming businesses, and improve the food value chain to enhance productivity and sustainability. Our organization promotes good agricultural practices, supports high-production sectors such as crops and livestock, and aims to preserve natural resources while reducing rural poverty. We assist rural farmers in accessing necessary resources and services, including job opportunities and social protection, empowering effective agricultural and food systems
Al-Sahab Organization for Agricultural Development is committed to enhancing the adaptive capacities of target groups within the agricultural system and food market. We work comprehensively across all levels of the agricultural system—individuals, families, and society—to foster a sustainable agricultural environment and strengthen inter-governmental connections. Our mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable communities through comprehensive sustainable development programmes and emergency response initiatives

Awareness Program
Awareness
Program Rationalization of water use and reducing water waste used in
irrigating agricultural crops in the Al-Bakr neighborhood area in Heet and the
Zawiya, Jubail and Al-Darstaniya areas This year, the tenth
month of 2021 The campaign lasted for a month,
during which we benefited more than 25 farms
· Awareness
methods
· What channels and methods of awareness are used?
-
Farmer Field Schools (FFS): Seasonal hands-on training in model fields led by local facilitators, where farmers learn through observation and experimentation (soil and water management, pest control, climate-smart practices).
-
Training of Trainers (ToT) in experimental fields: Building a network of local agricultural advisors who replicate the training in districts and subdistricts, with comparison plots (treatment/control) to convince farmers through results.
-
Digital awareness and early warning for pests: Using applications to monitor invasive insects (e.g., fall armyworm) and exchange alerts via smartphones. FAO provides the platform, tracking tools, and training.
-
Marketing and value chain sessions: Guidance on packaging, quality, health requirements, and linking producers with small-scale processors/buyers .
-
Water and water-smart agriculture: Awareness on irrigation efficiency (drip, scheduling, safe reuse) and water decision-making tools at the river basin level.
·
Publicawareness methods
·
Capacity building : trained 40 agricultural advisors on ecological farming and marshland conservation (5 days, Nov/Dec 2024).
Conservation agriculture and combating land degradation: Training programs for extension teams on experimental fields, climate-smart practices, and designing participatory extension plans.
Conservation agriculture as an ongoing project to increase productivity and profitability of smallholders by reducing tillage, rotating crops, and integrated residue management.
Climate-adaptive livelihoods: The UN Country Team in Iraq provided climate-smart agriculture training and modern irrigation equipment (including solar-powered systems) in 2023.
Beekeeping to improve income: Training program for 50 farmers with toolkits and bee packages.
Empowering women in agricultural livelihoods: UNIDO implemented two intensive courses (May–June 2024) on goat farming and small business management for vulnerable groups (53 participants in two batches).
Response to water scarcity for farmers: Solar pumps, drip irrigation, hydroponic greenhouses, and improved irrigation channels.
Updating agricultural and fodder practices: Adoption of techniques such as drip networks, multi-span greenhouses, and feed blocks within production support packages.
Water resource management at the basin level: Enhancing monitoring and digital modeling in the river basin, and training institutions and advisors to expand water-use efficiency in farmers’ fields.
current awareness topics
·
Water efficiency and climate adaptation: Water harvesting, drip irrigation, irrigation scheduling, and safe reuse potential.
Integrated pest management: Early detection of invasive pests using FAO digital tools and field training.
Conservation agriculture: Reduced tillage, crop rotation, and crop residue management to improve soil fertility and lower costs.
Food processing and value chains: Dairy and vegetables (primary processing, food safety, small-scale entrepreneurship).

We begin with planning, where we define clear objectives, set priorities, and develop actionable strategies
This is followed by organization,
ensuring resources, roles, and timelines are aligned for smooth execution.
Through effective management, we
monitor progress, address challenges, and make informed decisions to keep the
project on track
our support phase ensures ongoing
assistance, problem-solving, and continuous improvement to maintain long-term
success.
