Joint E.U.-UNICEF program launched in Burkina Faso aims to improve nutrition security

"Support is being rolled out in Burkina Faso as part of a European Union (E.U.)-UNICEF joint action for improving nutrition security in Africa," UNICEF reports in an article on its webpage. "Funded by the E.U., and in partnership with UNICEF, the Government of Burkina Faso and local NGOs, the project aims to improve nutrition security among women and young children," the article states, noting, "The approach is broad based and begins with education." According to the article, "The project will, it is hoped, revolutionize local food production and local diet in Burkina Faso, moving the country away from recurrent nutritional crisis to nutritional independence" (9/10).
