In his view, the world defined the approaches, the priorities and then configured them throughout the structuring of sustainable development objectives, but it could also be maintained that the results achieved, unfortunately similar to those in Nampula, were not satisfactory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis space for national dialogue arises as a response to what we have all been seeing recently, in which many efforts, by other various governments and international organizations have been made to lead the world, the country and the province in particular, so that we can all have a dignified life. Likewise, this space arises as a response to the fact that these efforts, unfortunately, are not having the effects that we all want,\u201d Gondola stressed.<\/p>\n<p>It was on the basis of this evidence that the government of Mozambique, through the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, had created a space to \u201cpropose changes and to structure processes in order to obtain better results in the fight against food and nutrition insecurity, involving the public and private sector, as they represent the most diverse sensitivities at community level\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s not lose sight of the need to identify barriers to accessing safe and nutritious food in production processes,\u201d the Provincial Secretary of State urged. \u201cWe must pay attention to the availability of means and programs which can allow communities to become less vulnerable to climate change, to food insecurity situations caused by conflict and to changes in the general framework of relationships which compromise the production, distribution, access and consumption of the most varied goods,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the nutrition sector of the Provincial Health Service in this northern part of Mozambique, just over 4,000 children were diagnosed with acute malnutrition in Nampula in the first three months of this year, with Monapo and Er\u00e1ti districts and Nampula [city] exhibiting the highest prevalence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-mozambique: The Secretary of State for Nampula province, Mety Gondola, has expressed concern about the prevalence of chronic malnutrition among children in the area, despite its high potential for food production.
