Supporting Transition by Reducing Food Insecurity and Undernutrition among the Most Vulnerable

Access to adequate and nutritionally balanced food remains a challenge for the poorest and most vulnerable people, especially in rural border areas. Twenty-six percent of the population lives below the poverty line and 3 million people are considered ‘food poor’. Considerable disparities in food security remain among geographic areas and socio-economic groups.
