PALM Corps, in partnership with Dan Church Aid (DCA), is implementing a four-year project dubbed “Enhancing food security and nutritional outcomes for vulnerable women and children in West Nile” in northern Uganda, in Bidibidi (Yumbe), Imvepi (Terego), and Rhino Camp (Terego & Madi Okollo) districts through a blended graduation approach. The project targets 10,000 direct participants in Yumbe, Terego, and Madi-Okollo.
The overall goal of the project is to increase access to healthy and nutritious foods, awareness campaigns, and support to climate-resilient food production to contribute towards improved nutrition, enhanced food security, and resilience of vulnerable refugee and host female-headed households, particularly pregnant and lactating mothers and their children, in West Nile, Northern Uganda.
