NAIROBI, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Kenya has launched a development strategy to help scale up investments in agriculture and outlines way forward to improve economic
growth, reduce food imports, and boost nutrition.


The National Agriculture Investment Plan (NAIP), the core blueprint for revitalizing crop, livestock and fisheries production in Kenya, was launched in
the capital Nairobi on Thursday.


The plan saw influential public and private sector partners agree on a roadmap for making crop and livestock production a powerful engine for economic
growth in Kenya.


Speaking during the launch, the African Union Commission Commissioner for Rural Economy and Agriculture, Tumusiime Rhoda Peace, said the NAIP translated
the continental and country aspirations into an evidence-based plan with clear
targets, budgets and mutual accountability.


"It's inspiring to see such a diverse group come together to determine exactly how Kenya is going to generate the investments required to energize a
sector that embodies the hope for a better future for all Kenyans," Peace told
delegates.


Agriculture employs 75 percent of Kenyans but has yet to reach its potential to boost food security, nutrition and incomes, particularly for the country's
poorest people.


Kenya's Agriculture Minister Willy Bett said government commitments were crucial, but creating a more prosperous, food-secure future for Kenya required a
more entrepreneurial approach across the sector in production, processing,
inputs and marketing.


"It's particularly important that we have a strategy that can drive greater investments from the private sector. This means attracting support for small and
medium sized enterprises that can generate income and employment in rural
communities," Betty said.


NAIROBI Jordan 6s Gatorade , Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- Two UN agencies said on Thursday polio vaccinations will continue
in Somalia despite the Horn of Africa nation marking six months since the last
polio case was seen in the country.


The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Health Organization (WHO) and Somali authorities said they are taking a cautious approach since the task of
eradication is not finished yet as risks remain.


"We have defeated polio before and we will do it again. This is an important milestone, but there is no room for complacency Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade ," UNICEF Somalia Representative Steven Lauwerier said in a statement issued in Nairobi.


"We will continue to support the Somali health authorities with the vaccination campaigns until we are certain that no more children will suffer
from this highly infectious disease," Lauwerier said.


According to the UN agencies, polio continues to threaten the lives of Somali children and the campaigns to eradicate polio will continue in 2015. The last
outbreak affected 199 people Jordan 6 Gatorade , mostly children.


Polio was detected in Somalia in May 2013, for the first time in six years, after the parents of a two-year-old girl in Mogadishu found she was unable to
walk. The virus Jordan 6 Like Mike Gatorade , which can cause paralysis or even death, spread quickly affecting 194 people in 2013.


However, the number was contained to just five cases in 2014 Jordan 6 Like Mike Pre Order , one of them an adult who died, all in the remote Mudug region of Puntland, northeastern Somalia. The last case was reported in Hobyo
district Jordan 6 Like Mike For Sale , Mudug on Aug. 11, 2014.

Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia, Philippe Lazzarini said it is a breakthrough that the polio outbreak has been curbed in the Horn of Africa
nation.


"The vaccination campaigns have been a massive undertaking from the community level upwards and we must keep up the momentum until we are sure polio has been
completely wiped out Jordan 6 Like Mike 2017 ," Lazzarini added.

Since the outbreak began, the authorities, with the support of the two UN agencies Jordan 6 Retro Like Mike , have targeted more than 2 million children under the age of five for vaccinations as well as children aged from five to 10 and adults in
some areas.


The vaccination campaigns began as soon as the news of the first case came out as at the time Somalia was home to the largest pool of unvaccinated children
in the world with over half a million children unvaccinated for more than five
years.


WHO Somalia Representative Ghulam Popal said the tremendous effort of government of Somalia and its partners in containing the outbreak is highly
commendable.


"But polio has not yet been stopped for good, and efforts must continue to ensure polio free status for children in Somalia," said Popal.


"Care and vigilance are crucial to ensure that children all over Somalia are vaccinated Jordan 6s Like Mike , despite the challenges posed by inaccessibility and insecurity."


Somalia reported its last indigenous Wild Poliovirus (WPV) case in 2002. In 2005, the country experienced an importation of WPV of Nigerian origin, which
resulted in an explosive outbreak all over the country and a total of 228 polio
cases.


With an intensified polio immunization response Jordan 6 Like Mike , Somalia was able to stop the circulation and reached polio free status again in 2007.


The routine immunization coverage rate in Somalia is extremely low and during the polio vaccination campaigns, the vaccinators have painstakingly gone house
to house to administer the vaccine which consists of two drops in the mouth.


PHNOM PENH, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Authorities in southwestern Cambodia's Kampot province have started distributing clean water to drought-stricken
villagers in several districts, local media reported on Thursday.


Kampot provincial police chief Mao Chanmathurith said the operation was a collaborative effort between the government and military police in delivering
clean water to more than 500 families in Kampot town's Andoung Khmer commune on
Wednesday.


"The provincial governor, Chan Chesda, ordered our working group to deliver the clean water to the villagers in eight districts and towns. We will help to
provide water until they. Authentic Soccer Jerseys Wholesale   NFL Jerseys Wholesale   Basketball Jerseys Wholesale   NHL Jerseys Wholesale   NFL Jerseys Wholesale   College Jerseys Wholesale   Hockey Jerseys China   Soccer Jerseys Cheap   MLB Jerseys From China   NHL Hockey Jerseys Cheap
