As part of Nutrition promotion and uptake, the Karaga team of SWIDA Ghana working with the Ghana Health Service organized food demonstration training in 22 communities.
The training targeted some 2,500 beneficiaries comprising breastfeeding mothers, pregnant women, and adolescents, who were all covered during the training.
The training involved the use of local ingredients to prepare local food, ensuring it covers all the nutrients required in food for growth and vitality. Each community was made to gather ingredients locally, to be used for the training.
All the ingredients were gathered from the communities, from those the households use for their day to day cooking.
This effort by SWIDA Ghana and the Ghana Health Service in Karaga, is through the support of the World Food Programme, and aimed to encourage the members from the 22 communities to eat locally and healthily, to improve the nutrition levels across the Karaga District.
