Damongo (S/R), June 05, GNA – Christian child relief organisation World Vision Ghana has launched a three-year multi-sectoral campaign dubbed “ENOUGH: Ending Child Hunger and Malnutrition” in the West Gonja Municipality of the Savannah Region.
The campaign seeks to complement the efforts of government and other actors towards ending child hunger and malnutrition in the country.
Mr. Rexford Bugre, Northern Regional Operations Manager, World Vision Ghana, speaking during the launch at Damongo, said it further sought to drive a policy change that would support children and ensure they had enough food and nutrition.
He said the organisation had implemented several interventions including the provision of boreholes, mechanised water systems, and latrines for households and institutions in some communities.
He called for stakeholders’ support to successfully implement the project.
Madam Barbara Asare, Campaign Coordinator at World Vision Ghana, said the project would ensure children were visible and heard in hunger, nutrition and food security related policies at all levels as well as more children enjoying better food security, nutrition and resilience, through prioritized services.
She called on the government and stakeholders to provide enough funding for the implementation of nutritional policies and scale up the school feeding programme to cover the most vulnerable and deprived communities.
