“The “Enough” campaign to end child hunger and malnutrition in Somalia is a noble and necessary cause that requires collective effort from social, economic, and human capacity development perspectives,” the PM said. “As the government, we will use our national policies, mainly the upcoming National Transformation Plan, for bringing down increasing levels of poverty and creating productive opportunities for our citizens.”

The PM thanked World Vision for championing the ENOUGH campaign and pledged his government’s cooperation in implementing the campaign.

World Vision East Africa regional leader Lilian Dodzo called for concerted efforts to end hunger and starvation. “We know the world has enough to provide food and care for every child facing hunger and malnutrition, but this is not the reality right now, as statistics have shown.”
