The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) launched a campaign to promote local fish recipes in Somalia.
This represents s a creative initiative aimed at improving nutrition and sustainability in Somalia.
It’s ideal for introducing students and their families to fish as a nutrient-rich food source whereby fish is packed with essential proteins, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for cognitive development and overall health.
Encouraging the consumption of locally sourced fish supports Somalia’s fishing communities, reduces dependence on imported foods, and promotes sustainable fishing practices.
Social marketing campaigns in schools can influence communities to adopt healthier dietary habits and appreciate the value of local resources.
This initiative aligns with broader goals of food security and sustainable development in Somalia.
