On November 15, WFP organized a press tour to schools in the city of Norak, as part of the efforts to familiarize journalists with the school-feeding program in Tajikistan, which is funded by the Russian Federation.
The journalists had the opportunity to visit schools and gain insights into the implementation of the program.
Additionally, they reportedly also explored gardens and greenhouses, which were constructed with support from WFP in the area.
Adham Musallam, WFP Representative and Country Director, and Vera Khutorskaya, Counsellor of the Russian Embassy in Dushanbe, interacted with journalists during the media tour.
WFP has been implementing the School Feeding Programme (SFP) in Tajikistan since 1999.
The United Nations World Food Programme is the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters, and the impact of climate change. In Tajikistan, WFP has been active in Tajikistan since 1993.
