The FAO-NCVC Data and Information Hub provides access to data and information products and services. This initiative supports the effective management and conservation of vegetation cover and natural resources, along with environmental protection across Saudi Arabia. It has been developed through a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Saudi Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture (MoEWA). This collaboration forms part of the Sustainable Rural Agricultural Development (SRAD) Project.

The SRAD project, implemented by FAO and MoEWA, incorporates a Natural Resources Management (NRM) component executed in partnership with the Saudi National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification (NCVC).

The SRAD Project’s NRM component aims to strengthen Saudi Arabia's capacity to manage its rangelands, forests, and national parks sustainably. It focuses on addressing land degradation and combating desertification, including the development and dissemination of pertinent data and information products.
