What the World Food Programme is doing in Kenya
As the food assistance arm of the United Nations, the World Food Programme (WFP) uses its food resources to meet emergency needs as well as to support economic and social development. WFP aims to save lives in emergency situations, improve the nutrition and quality of life of the most vulnerable-- particularly children, pregnant women and nursing mothers -- and help rural communities build assets to promote their resilience to droughts and boost self-reliance.
An estimated 1.3 million Kenyans are food insecure and in need of assistance, mostly in the arid and semi-arid lands of Northern Kenya. To address malnutrition, WFP and the Government of Kenya are providing nutrition support through targeted supplementary feeding programmes in arid and semi-arid areas. The Government is providing a nutrient-fortified, ready-to-eat food, to 40,000 moderately malnourished children under the age of five years. WFP is providing 25,000 moderately malnourished pregnant and nursing mothers with Supercereal, a highly nutritious blended food that is fortified with extra protein and essential micro-nutrients.

What the World Food Programme is doing in Tanzania
Through its Market Access, Food for Assets, Nutrition, School Meals and Refugee support activities, WFP reaches half a million Tanzanians in chronically food-insecure regions.
• Under its Market Access initiatives, WFP connects the demand for crops with commercial markets. Through our Patient Procurement Platform (PPP), we help farmers transition from subsistence farming to market-oriented agriculture. Under PPP, private buyers are guaranteed pre-planting forward delivery contracts, which open access to credit and agricultural inputs necessary to plant and harvest quality crops. This boosts farmers’ incomes and long-term resilience.
• WFP's Food Assistance for Asset Creation programme aims to stimulate economic growth at household level. Investment in irrigation schemes, dams and market access roads strengthens farmers' resilience to climate change, improves the productive potential of the farmland and increases household incomes.
• WFP is the only agency in Tanzania to provide supplementary food rations to pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under five. The emphasis is on the regions of Dodoma and Singida, which have high rates of stunting and wasting.
• In 2015, WFP launched a Home Grown School Feeding pilot programme to enable districts and schools to manage school meals by procuring food locally from smallholding farmers. Currently implemented in two districts, the programme reaches almost 25,000 students.
• WFP provides a food basket of Super Cereal (fortified blended food), pulses, vegetable oil, and salt to nearly 200,000 refugees in the camps of Nyarugusu, Nduta and Mtendeli. The rations meet a minimum dietary requirement of 2,100 Kcal per person per day.
• With most of the eight neighbouring countries landlocked and facing humanitarian situations, Tanzania serves as a crucial logistical link for WFP operations in the region. Furthermore, the port of Dar es Salaam is a trans-shipment point for operations in Somalia. Tanzania is also one of eight nations to pilot the One UN initiative, under which UN agencies (including WFP) work together to “deliver as one” at country level.

Njoo unioe mie japo nimezeeka papuche Yangu imetumika kidogo sana[emoji23] [emoji23]
you can search for a million articles talking about hunger in kenya(a country that is more that 50% semi arid) but that wont change the fact that according to that map hunger is prevalent in tanzania(a country that is mostly fertile and arable) than kenya.
there is no other to define other than that is the definition of abject failure and incompetency in tanzania. a million articles about hunger in kenya wont change that fact.
deal with it you troll.

Kenyan men are too hungry to produce healthy babies- Lesiyampe Agriculture PS

We eat poor quality food that we don’t even produce- Lesiyampe Photo: Courtesy
Agriculture Principal Secretary Dr. Richard Lesiyampe has said that Kenyan men cannot produce healthy babies because they eat poorly.
“How do we make babies when we are struggling and hungry? We have to break the barriers that make Africans not to cooperate and work together,” Lesiyampe told a workshop in Nairobi recently.
“We grow good food that we don’t consume, but we eat poor quality food that we don’t even produce. Less than five per cent of Kenyans consume our great tea and coffee. We export 95 per cent of it. It is traumatizing,” said Lesiyampe.
Lesiyampe was saddened by how Kenya, with a population of about 40 million, is food insecure, yet China with 1.3 billion people is able to feed its population.
“We have some of the most hard working people on earth but many sleep hungry. China took 40 years to transform the country. It was a game changer by 17 farmers. Why do we starve? We too can reverse this”
