This project is part of the World Food Program's (WFP) food assistance program. It aims to strengthen community resilience in the face of the adverse effects of recurrent food crises in the region.
By carrying out cash for work activities, communities recover degraded land and develop it for agricultural and pastoral use. Thus, they strengthen their productive capacities and fight crises better.
