The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation has partnered with TechnoServe Nigeria to explore mainstreaming of enriched stable food into safety net programs while working to increase the capacity of state actors on fortification.

This was made known recently when a delegation from TechnoServe Nigeria visited the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to introduce its programmes, activities and impact across practice areas, especially in the country.

According to TechnoServe, the goal of the visit was to explore potential areas of alignment with the ministry’s agenda, initiatives and policy thrust related to improving nutrition and providing humanitarian relief to displaced Nigerians in crisis areas.

Adesuwa Akinboro, TechnoServe Nigeria’s country director, led the delegation and was received by Gajere Mayen, director of nutrition; Fawekun Oyeyemi, deputy director of nutrition and other key officials of the ministry.

Akinboro noted that the emphasis of the collaboration with the ministry was centered on training of nutrition officers as it pertains to fortification.
