A global report by the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund revealed that Nigeria is among the 12 hardest hit countries by the global food and nutrition crisis.

Okoronkwo said, “Malnutrition among women and girls is alarming, it is a challenge that proper attention has not been paid to it.

“If you look at the number of wasted children, the number of pregnant women that are anemic, and how much the country allocates to combat these challenges, you will find out that it is grossly inadequate.” Also, the former Executive Secretary of CS-SUNN, Beatrice Eluaka believes that when the work plan from the workshop is developed, advocacy activities will take place to generate funds for the implementation of the work plan.
