AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE Japanese government has contributed $1.5 million (3.4bn\/- ) to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to support the implementation of the four-year Boresha Lishe nutrition project in rural areas of central Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The project, which was launched in 2017, aims to improve nutrition for 30,000 women and children through social behaviour change communication, diversification of food production and distribution of specialized nutritious foods in Bahi and Chamwino Districts in Dodoma Region and Ikungi and Singida Rural Districts in Singida Region.<\/p>\n

Ambassador of Japan to Tanzania, Goto Shinichi has been quoted by a press statement issued\u00a0today as saying; \u201cIn Tanzania, Government of Japan has been providing assistance in various sectors…..this particular contribution is directed toward women and children in rural areas, supporting \u2018Leaving no one behind\u2019 of the 2030 agenda based on the important concept of human security. It will improve nutrition and income generation of the vulnerable groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Boresha Lishe project works to improve knowledge on nutrition, dietary diversity and water, sanitation and hygiene practices (WASH). In addition, keeping small-scale livestock, planting diverse crops and mobilizing VICOBA are promoted, increasing access to capital as well as nutritious foods.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with Japan, WFP is supplying and installing solar power kiosks to 40 village community banking groups (VICOBAs) supported under the Boresha Lishe project.<\/p>\n

The kiosks contain rechargeable rental devices such as lanterns and are operated as a business, providing income opportunities for the VICOBA and community members.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the Boresha Lishe project, WFP is adopting a multi-sectoral approach, combining the provision of specialized nutritious foods, behavioural change communication, while\u00a0enabling communities to access income generating activities,\u201d said Michael Dunford, WFP representative in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The representative added that, “with\u00a0the support from the Government of Japan, WFP is improving women and children\u2019s nutrition and the future of these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the supply and installation of solar power kiosks, WFP is working with a Japanese private company, leveraging its expertise accumulated through their business operations over the years.<\/p>\n

The Boresha Lishe project is co-funded by Japan, the European Union and WFP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
