Following the successful national launch in July last year, the "Enough" campaign aims to raise awareness and understanding of the magnitude and severity of child hunger and malnutrition issues among stakeholders at local, national, and global levels.

Speaking on the sidelines of the launch, Madam Barbara Yeboaa Asare, Campaigns Coordinator at WVG, highlighted the need to scale up the school feeding programme and provide children within the district.

According to Madam Yeboaa Asare, issues of hunger and stunting were persistent in these two districts, urging stakeholders to take immediate action to deal with the situation.
"We need the political will and enough funding for good nutrition for children and also implementation of existing policies to ensure that children are well fed," said Madam Yeboaa Asare.

Sulemana Issah, District Nutrition Officer for Krachi, was elated about the launch of the "ENOUGH" campaign in the district and pledged his support to make the campaign a success.

Mr Issah revealed that cases of stunting were prevalent among children in the district, with the current percentage around 27 per cent, which was even bigger than the national average of 18 per cent.
He was hopeful that the "ENOUGH" programme would help deal with cases of underweight, which is currently on the rise in the district, as well as issues of food wastage.

"It is important we support World Vision's 'ENOUGH' campaign so that it can be well implemented and so that we can achieve the set target for these malnutrition challenges," he said.

Mr Victor Ahiagbah, the Municipal Director of Health Services, in his remarks, stated that issues of food insecurity were on the rise and that World Vision's "ENOUGH" could help deal with the situation.

He noted that cases of underweight among children under five have risen to 13 per cent, food wasting is at 20.6 per cent and cases of anaemia among pregnant women are rising to 47 per cent.

"This campaign has come at the right time, and we pledge our support to working with all stakeholders to ensure that there are adequate nutritional foods for more households, especially for the children, to enable them to grow well," he said.
