Donors respond to food security appeal

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, donors have contributed funds for several UN and NGO projects to improve the precarious food security situation in the capital, the FAO report said. The projects include, among others, the provision of support to urban animal husbandry and gardening activities, the strengthening of agricultural production around the city and the provision of food aid to
    vulnerable groups. Funds contributed amount to about half of the US $6 million requested in a Kinshasa food security appeal launched by the government in April, the report said, adding that the other half has already been pledged by donors.
