“During this lean season, CONASUR thought of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and vulnerable people by helping them with corn and rice,” said Oumarou Sandwidi, chair of COPROSUR in Banwa.

According to the provincial director in charge of humanitarian action in Banwa, Nandegma Nacoulma, more than 3,000 internally displaced persons and vulnerable host populations will benefit from 120 tons, including 60 tons of corn and 60 tons of rice.
