MBRGI completes major anti-malnutrition projects in Africa
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), through its 1 Billion Meals campaign, has successfully completed a series of impactful projects to combat malnutrition in Niger, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Senegal. These efforts were carried out in partnership with the United Nations' UNITLIFE Trust Fund, following a 2022 agreement to support vulnerable communities through sustainable nutrition programs. With a contribution of AED 5.5 million, MBRGI helped fund long-term food security initiatives focused on climate-smart agriculture, women's empowerment and community-based nutrition solutions. In Niger, a year-long project reached over 168,000 people by promoting resilient farming practices, while in the DRC, a 17-month initiative with UN Women supported a cassava food chain, benefiting more than 128,000 individuals. In Senegal, a two-year programme with Action Against Hunger strengthened local food systems, reaching over 33,000 people. Together, these projects are enabling access to more than 6 million nutritious meals annually. UNITLIFE Chairman, Philippe Douste-Blazy, praised the partnership, calling it vital in building lasting resilience and improving lives in hunger-stricken regions. Launched in 2022 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 1 Billion Meals campaign has provided food aid across 50 countries and continues to support sustainable solutions to hunger worldwide. MBRGI implements charitable and humanitarian programs across five key areas: Humanitarian Aid & Relief, Healthcare & Disease Control, Spreading Education & Knowledge, Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Empowering Communities. Launched in 2019, UNITLIFE, a UN trust fund, combats chronic malnutrition globally through a multi-disciplinary approach. It explores innovative funding opportunities to address gaps in global health and food systems, including investing in scalable, sustainable agricultural projects and programmes empowering women to address malnutrition within their communities.
