In a country where the coronavirus pandemic has created an impossible dilemma for the nutrition sector, gross under-funding of key programs is severely impacting already strained health services, especially in Nigeria’s rural communities.
Recognising the importance of key nutritional programmes and allowing them continue should be considered a priority as much attention is channelled to stalling the spread of COVID-19, health experts say.
The pilot programme of the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) was introduced in Nigeria in 2009 by Unicef, the UN children’s agency, in 12 northern states where the scourge has remained endemic.
The capacity for countries to build transparency for effective climate action gets boost through funding extension of the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT)

Bonn, Germany, 16 December 2020
At a time when the world assesses the progress made under the Paris Agreement, global support to help developing countries advance on a key building block of the Agreement was reinforced through the funding extension of the Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT). ICAT donors extended the Initiative to mid-2026 and committed funding close to USD 35 million, so that more support can be provided to countries in building their transparency frameworks and using them to effectively implement, track and then further enhance their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement.
Accra on track in keeping global heating to 1.5°C - C40 cities report
Fifty-four cities, including Accra, representing more than 200 million residents, are on track to help keep global heating below 1.5°C and tackle the climate crisis, per a new C40 analysis.
C40 research revealed that city efforts could avert at least 1.9 gigatonnes of GHG emissions between 2020 and 2030, equivalent to half the annual emissions of the European Union.
The report released today contains new analysis of climate action plans from these cities confirming they will deliver their fair share of greenhouse gas emission reductions to keep global temperatures to the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement, the level that scientists agree is needed to tackle the global climate crisis.
