Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Five districts in the country are set to benefit from the MWK6.3 billion additional funding that the Germany Government has provided Malawi for Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) project.<\/p>\n

Districts to benefit from the funds are Blantyre, Dowa, Nsanje, Phalombe and Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

Receiving the funds, Minister of Health Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda said the support is timely as the country is struggling with the hunger crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe support comes at a time when Malawi is dealing with a challenging food security situation where 4.4 million people are expected to face high level of acute food insecurity between October 2023 to March 2024,\u201d said Chiponda.<\/p>\n

She added that the continued support from the Germany government will help the country to step up efforts that will improve lives and build resilience among vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n

On her part, Germany Ambassador to Malawi Ute Konig said every human being needs a balanced diet that is why they provided the additional funds.<\/p>\n

According to the Integrated Household Survey of 2020, through the SUN programme by the Germany government with technical support from UNICEF, stunting among under-five children has been reduced from 37 percent in 2016 to the current 33 percent.<\/p>\n

The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) programme has been running since 2011, and the total amount towards the programme is pegging at 44.55 million euros since 2016.<\/p>\n
