Cet article montre comment après une interruption de plusieurs mois causée par la suspension des financements de l’USAID, le projet GAINS, dédié à la nutrition, à la sécurité alimentaire et au développement durable, redémarre ses activités dans la province du Kasaï.

Toutefois, l’article met en lumière les conséquences graves des coupures budgétaires sur les familles vulnérables, tout en lançant un appel pressant à la communauté internationale pour un engagement financier plus durable.
