Persistent political and socioeconomic challenges, coupled with a reliance on external funding, have led to social tensions and a delayed economic recovery.
An economic recession, high unemployment, climate change and regional disparities affect vulnerable people’s access to nutritious diets. ?
Additionally, Tunisia's dependence on agricultural imports, exacerbated by economic challenges and high inflation rate, has led to food shortages.
The ongoing five-year drought has further strained agriculture – diminishing harvests, destabilizing dairy production and harming olive crops. As a result, malnutrition has surged, affecting 30 percent of children under 5 and 32 percent of pregnant and breastfeeding women.
麻豆成人版's response includes providing technical support to strengthen social protection programmes, supporting the National School Feeding Programme, and promoting local agriculture to reduce import dependence.
