The United Nations, in collaboration with the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council (RCC), has launched a joint project to enhance food security, nutrition and resilience for the vulnerable and asylum seekers in the Upper East and Upper West Regions.
The joint project is targeting at least 12,000 beneficiaries from the most food- insecured vulnerable host communities to improve upon their livelihoods.
The United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator, Mr Charles Abani, in his remarks at the launch here at the weekend said the project would address food insecurity and malnutrition, in addition to building the resilience of vulnerable asylum seekers by integrating livelihood strengthening, prevention and treatment of malnutrition.
The Government of France funded project, he added, would also integrate social and behaviour change interventions for the adoption of positive health and nutrition lifestyles.
