68,567 population were treated for malnutrition by increasing domestic food
Description
In close coordination with Borena Zona health and nutrition and Food security sectors, we are planning to support 68,567 individuals by providing for them cash for food services of 1.1million USD and also providing for them agricultural tools and drought and climate resilient seeds in order for them to produce and sell for local market and consume by themselves and generate additional fund that will support the upcoming generation . Moreover going to support more than 1.1million people after 5 years .explicitly prioritizes nutrition security, reflecting a comprehensive approach to tackle Ethiopia, Borena population interlinked challenges of food insecurity, malnutrition, and agricultural development. The shift is timely: more than one million people inBorena Ethiopia struggle to afford a healthy diet, with food systems strained by climate change, conflict, and rapid population growth. This Movement has been working closely with the local community and partners to develop a methodology that is being used to create domestic investment targets for nutrition. By leveraging its networks across governments, civil society, businesses, and academia, the team aims to drive nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive programmes aligned with Ethiopa strategic plan initiatives, ensuring a more efficient use of resources for tangible outcomes. This renewed commitment to nutrition through the Ethiopia framework represents a significant step forward in Drought affected areas journey toward sustainable food systems and improved nutrition outcomes. The strategy acknowledges that investing in nutrition is crucial for preventing stunting, wasting, and obesity, while enhancing productivity and preserving long-term human capital.
