Mennonite Central Committee Canada is supporting Sansthagat Bikas Sanjal (SBS) and their four implementing partners with the first year of a three year project that will address food insecurity by increasing production, consumption and access to markets in four districts of Nepal. Nepal has and is facing a dangerous combination of factors that is making its food security situation increasingly perilous. These factors include stagnation in food production, severe weather, 10 year civil war and ongoing political instability, food price crisis and economic crisis. The objectives of this project are to increase the food consumption of 1,490 vulnerable households (8,152 people) during the hungry season; to increase the annual yields and agricultural diversity of 1,490 households; to improve access to markets for 7,474 households; and to improve capacity of the four implementing organizations.
