Published purpose

This project seeks to ensure that women and men in seven districts of Benishangul-Gumuz have better access to safe, sufficient and nutritious food, more sustainable livelihood options, and opportunities for economic growth. The project also works to create partnerships and networks among stakeholders (community, government, donors, civil society) working in the region. The project is designed to implement activities that are in line with local priorities focusing on sustainable agriculture development and improved productivity; promotion of viable livelihoods for income generation; and improvement of the ability of government and non-government service providers at the regional, zonal, district and community levels to deliver accountable and effective services to households lacking access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food. The project is implemented by Save the Children Canada in collaboration with five Canadian non-governmental organizations and one intergovernmental organization.
