BRAC-Liberia and the European Union (EU) have launched a 2-year food and nutrition security project that is aimed at assisting vulnerable rural Liberians, who are engaged in agricultural practices. The project, funded under the EU Global Food Security Program will be implemented in Montserrado, Margibi, Grand Bassa, Bong, Bomi and Grand Cape Mount counties. Ambassador Intelmann said the project will contribute to achieve sustainable development goals, help end hunger, and improve food and nutrition security for the vulnerable poor. “This will also develop resilient agriculture, create additional market opportunities to increase farmers’ income and improve food nutrition,” Intelmann said. She then promised the EU’s commitment to continue supporting Liberia’s strives to improve food security to reduce poverty.
