CONAKRY- The United Nations World Food Programme welcomes a EUR 1.5 million contribution from France for the provision of food and nutrition support to women, children, and farmers in Beyla and Lola prefectures of the Forest Guinea region. WFP will provide supplementary feeding and nutrition services to 14,000 children under two, and pregnant women and nursing mothers for the treatment and prevention of moderate acute malnutrition.
This crucial contribution from France will also be used to reinforce smallholder farmers' production capacity in Guinea. Overall, 426 stallholder farmers will receive technical training on the value-chain of a new high-yield variety of rice and how to increase its productivity and improve access to local markets.
