Niger: reinforcing nutrition care in Tahoua district
One million Nigerien children under five - more than 1 in 4 - are at high risk of acute malnutrition in 2013. ECHO field experts carry out a monitoring of Concern Worlwide programmes in Tahoua district. The NGO provides support to the district hospital of Tahoua in order to improve care for severely undernourished children. It also helps run integrated nutrition and health care services at the community level, often in remote villages hardest hit by drought and increased food prices.
