On  15th April 2025, the Muslim Aid UK Board held a meeting with Ms. Farida  Akhter, Honorable Advisor to the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock in the  Interim Government of Bangladesh. The meeting focused on exploring avenues to strengthen collaboration in the areas of fisheries and livestock development,  food security, and sustainable livelihoods.   The discussion focused potential joint initiatives to enhance rural  livelihoods through improved fisheries management, livestock health services,  and value chain development, particularly for marginalized and  climate-vulnerable communities. The dialogue emphasized the importance of  promoting climate-resilient agricultural practices, empowering women and youth in the fisheries and livestock sectors and contributing to national  food security goals. The engagement reaffirmed Muslim Aid UK's commitment to  supporting the Government’s efforts in building resilient, self-reliant  communities in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),  particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
