The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Nigeria says it has launched a COVID-19 Food Security Challenge for three million dollars in grant and technical assistance to address food insecurity in the country.
The USAID Mission Director, Dr Anne Patterson, in a statement on Monday in Awka, stated that the gesture would be given to youth-led and mid-stage companies working in food value chains in Nigeria.
The statement also stated that Nigeria was experiencing food insecurity compounded by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its effects on the food value chain in the country.
It stated that the pandemic had disrupted already fragile agricultural value chains, especially smallholder farmers’ ability to produce, process and distribute food.
