WFP, NAJMAH sign agreement to enhance food security of 7,500 Jordanians, refugees

The National Alliance Against Hunger and Malnutrition (NAJMAH), under the leadership of HRH Princess Basma, and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) on Tuesday signed an agreement to implement a training programme focusing on building the capacity of 1,500 participants.

NAJMAH and the WFP will work together to implement the 10-month project to improve the employability of vulnerable groups by providing participants with access to on-the-job training in vocational areas such as food production, crafts, welding and carpentry and hence improve their employment prospects and thus their food security, according to a statement made available to The Jordan Times.
