The RWANU Program aims to reduce food insecurity among vulnerable rural
populations in selected sub-counties of Amudat, Moroto, Napak and

to reducing malnutrition, focusing on the first 1,000 days of life when
conditional food rations will have the highest impact. RWANU promotes
diversified livelihoods strategies including linkages to market opportunities
to ensure long-term food security and resilience to food insecurity shocks.
