The Women, Media and Change (WOM­EC) on Thursday launched a cam­paign to advocate good nutrition in the country.

The 18-month "The Nourish Ghana: Advocating for increased leadership to combat malnutrition" project seeks to create a platform for dialogue to strengthen nation­al policy action on nutrition by advocating increase in leadership, funding and accountability.

It also seeks to use the media to disseminate information on issues across all sectors.

Speaking at a stakeholder engage­ment in Accra, the Executive Direc­tor of WOMEC, Dr Charity Binka, said malnutrition was still a major problem for both public health and development crises in the country.
