Omaheke serious about child nutrition – Nganate

Omaheke governor Pijoo Nganate says the region is strengthening its efforts to reduce child malnutrition by partnering with HeadStartKids Namibia in developing a five-year climate resilient child nutrition and essential services initiative.

HeadStartKids is an early childhood nutrition programme combating malnutrition, particularly among children under the age of five years.

Speaking during the state of the region address held at Gobabis on Monday, Nganate said the region is prioritising the elimination of child malnutrition by strengthening food security.
