Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria and Food For Peace are platforms used by UNICEF, USAID and other partners in ending malnutrition in Zamfara state. However, the fear of insecurity and its spread have become an albatross as they force mothers to remain at home for fear of uncertainties. Kuni Tyessi writes
The rising case of insecurity has continued unabated in several parts of the country with the north as worst hit.
The long term implications which cannot be seen from a shortsighted lens has continued to brew with devastating consequences on children, and their mother’s inability to access the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) intervention, thereby watering down its efforts in Working to Improve Nutrition in Northern Nigeria (WINNN) programme.
