By Staff Reporter IN NOVEMBER, WFP Zimbabwe hosted a five-day mission for Princess Sarah Zeid of Jordan, WFP’s Special Advisor on Mother and Child Health and Nutrition. During her stay, the Princess visited a WFP Urban Social Assistance programme site in Sakubva, a community nutrition garden in Majerejere, and a Maternity Waiting Home (MWH) in Mount Darwin where WFP has been providing highly nutritious food assistance to expectant mothers since 2016. To date, 1,338 expectant mothers have received nutritional support from WFP while accessing emergency obstetric and newborn care services at the home. The programme, which is implemented in partnership with UNICEF and funded by the Government of Japan, UNCERF and the Health Development Fund, seeks to increase the number of women receiving pre-and post-natal care in rural areas. Furthermore, the initiative seeks to ensure that women consume nutritious diets during pregnancy to reduce rates of maternal and neo-natal mortality.
