Implementation of emergency activities "slow" - UNICEF

    NAIROBI

    Implementation of several emergency activities in Eritrea has been slow, while others have not taken off at all due to lack of funds, UNICEF said.
    In a recent donor update on Eritrea, the agency said the most affected interventions include education, where a project proposal for over US $2.8 million prepared and submitted in June is yet to receive donor response. The other critical sector is supplementary feeding and nutritional assessment, UNICEF said. The 1999 funding was only able to meet the requirements of the children under-five, pregnant and lactating women, up
    to December. UNICEF says it needs over US $8.2 to be able to fulfill its responsibilities in Eritrea.
