Project to prevent malnutrition initiated

    ABIDJAN

    WFP has started a project to improve the nutritional status among groups considered at high risk of malnutrition, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported. The aim is to target directly those groups considered to be "vulnerable."

    The elderly above the age of 60, disabled people (provided they have been certified by a competent authority) and orphans and abandoned children are among those who are defined as "vulnerable groups" in accordance with the project's criteria.
