Funding Shortfall Threat to Food Security
The Malian government and some NGOs say they are short of funding to adequately scale up an emergency response to the needs of 629 000 people who face food insecurity in that country.
According to food security commissioner, Lansry Nana Yaya Haidara, the government needs US$59 million more to add to the US$69 million it has already committed to launch its response.
Oxfam’s food security head, Abdoul Kadri, says his organisation needs to raise US$4.5 million before it can realise its plans to distribute food to the poorest families in and around Gao, north-eastern Mali, and destock 6 000 sheep and goats.
