Today’s package focuses on the Sahel, a region with dire projections of mass food insecurity emanating from the combined effect of protracted conflict, climate change, and global crisis.
Food insecurity is defined as ‘when people do not have adequate physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious foods that meet their dietary.
While this should be a government’s mandate to help its citizens achieve, man in his distinctive nature seeks healthy nutrition to continue existence, flourish, set goals and contribute to nation-building.
Across the world, regions and nations are advancing on food security, but in the Sahel, this campaign is seeing a dramatic and rapid deterioration due to largely, insufficient funding, problems with access, and weak coordination.
According to United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs, OCHA, 6.3 million people were food insecure in the region as of October 2023, including 3.3 million in Burkina Faso, 1.7 million in Niger and 1.3 million in Mali.
Also, the sixth session of the Environment Assembly ended in Nairobi – Kenya with a resounding call to the 7000 participants representing 187 countries alongside 170 ministers to advance the climate campaign.
