The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) has launched the “Nourish and Thrive: Inclusive and Sustainable Nutrition and Livelihoods Initiative” in Zimbabwe’s Masvingo and Mwenezi districts to tackle the challenges of food insecurity and malnutrition exacerbated by drought and El Niño effects. The project addresses the nutritional needs of vulnerable groups, such as women and children, while empowering communities through climate-smart inputs, sustainable agricultural practices and capacity building for local health and extension workers.
