The Australian government has donated $2.7 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Pakistan for the purpose of livelihood activities in Sindh, reports APP.
“The WFP has been engaged in early recovery and disaster risk reduction interventions in the flood and drought-affected districts across the country for more than three years, through community-based interventions to restore livelihoods and build resilience against disasters,” said Lola Castro, WFP country director in Pakistan.
“These activities, bringing multiple short-term and long-terms benefits for the affected communities, ultimately contribute to the household food security and are linked to a detailed multi-hazard risk analysis and community engagement,” she added.
