The document was signed between FAO Representative to Iran, Gerold Bödeker and Iran’s Soil and Water Department of Agricultural Jihad Ministry in Tehran on Wednesday in a bid to promote pre-warning technologies and management of floods problems. 

The MoU is worth $395,000 which will be used to execute it for two years. 30% of the credit will be allocated to buy the equipment and the rest for teaching and collaboration with other Iranian institutions. 

Bödeker said that FAO allocates up to 14% of its overall budget to Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP), adding that the US sanctions won’t impede cooperation with Iran.
