This will contribute to reducing food insecurity in the area and ensure a more stable food supply for the community. These measures increase agricultural productivity, ensure a stable food supply, and reduce vulnerability to shortages and malnutrition.
Disaster Preparedness and Early Warning Systems hold great power to mitigate the impact of floods. ProjectRECOVER will enhance disaster preparedness and implement early warning systems.
