The Federal Government on Thursday unveiled a new humanitarian reform framework aimed at transitioning vulnerable households from emergency relief to structured poverty-exit programmes, as it commenced the distribution of food and nutrition support items in Benue State.
The initiative, under the Presidential Initiative for Food and Nutrition Assistance, was flagged off in Makurdi by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Dr. Bernard M. Doro.
Speaking at the ceremony, Doro described the intervention as both an urgent humanitarian response and a strategic shift toward long-term social protection for communities affected by displacement, insecurity and livelihood disruptions.
