Afriseed donates to DMMU

The Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit-DMMU says the pre-positioned food and non-food items across the country has continued to help in mitigating various disaster related issues.

DMMU National Coordinator Dr. Gabriel Pollen said his office managed to mitigate the disasters in Southern Province on time because of the pre-positioned food and nonfood items.

Dr. Pollen said with the decentralization method of governance that the New Dawn government has adopted, the Unit has empowered the Regional and District Coordinators with necessary materials to respond to Disasters the moment they happen.

Dr. Pollen was speaking when he received a donation from Afriseed that is aimed at helping the people of Southern Province.

And Dr. Pollen said stakeholder participation in mitigating disasters is key in the fight against the various negative effects of climate change.

He said in as much as government is doing everything to attend to disasters, there is still need for other partners to come in and complement its efforts.

He said the items donated will go a long way in helping the people in Southern Province who lost crops due to heavy rains to replant.

The National Coordinator, however, called on other well-wishers to benchmark Afriseed and help government with items that can be given to Disaster victims.

Meanwhile Afriseed sales and marketing manager Kennedy Kauwo said the company was compelled to donate to the people of Southern Province who were affected by floods so that they can be food secure.

Mr. Kauwo said knowing that the country is receiving irregular rains, his company has decided to give early maturing seeds so that farmers can replant and have enough food to push them to the next farming.

He said Afriseed will continue responding to government whenever it is called on.
