Vietnam provided 1.5 million USD for project of children's nutrition
A workshop to discuss on a Project of nutrition and food security for women and children was held in Hanoi on October 5.
The Spanish Government has supported Vietnam 1.5 million USD to implement a project on nutrition and food security for women and children through the country's sustainable development fund.
Under the project, the food security component will be implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the nutrition focus will be deployed by the Ministry of Health.
The workshop presented the initiative’s blueprint as well as guidance on performing tasks and reporting, among others.
According to the Health Ministry, the project aims to reduce the rate of malnutrition among children under the age of five while ensuring food supply for domestic households as part of national master plans on these issues through 2020.
Apart from central agencies, such as the Department of Maternal and Child Health and the Vietnam Food Safety Association, funding will be also allocated to Ninh Thuan and Lao Cai provinces for 2015-2016.
The two provinces will focus on improving medical programmes to promote breastfeeding and nutrition supplements while carrying out suitable farming production models.
Under the project, the food security component will be implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the nutrition focus will be deployed by the Ministry of Health.
