FED aims to support community development and has focused its activities on education, food security and health areas and operates in the sectors of Nhacra and Safim. Once Guinea-Bissau is largely affected by food insecurity, with 22% of the population undernourished, all the work done to counter these facts is of major importance. Despite the work developed by FED in the communities, we concluded that they still don’t meet the parameters which allow achieving food security.
