Kaunti ya Kirinyaga, iliyoko katikati mwa nchi ya Kenya kaskazini mwa mji mkuu wa nchi hiyo, Nairobi, inashuhudia mageuzi mapya katika sekta ya kilimo kupitia mradi wa kuwahusisha vijana  katika kilimo na lishe unaojulikana kama EKYAN. Mradi huu unatekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, na wadau nchini humo.  Karibu Sabrina Saidi utupe taarifa zaidi.....(TAARIFA YA SABRINA SAIDI)Mradi wa EKYAN ni mfano wa ujasiriamali wa kilimo unaoongozwa na vijana, ukiwa na lengo la kutengeneza fursa za ajira, kuwanufaisha na kubadilisha maisha ya vijana walioko vijijini, kupitia mbinu bora za kilimo na lishe, ukitekelezwa kwa ushirikiano kati ya Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto UNICEF, serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga na shirika linalotoa mafunzo, elimu ya biashara ndogo ndogo na uwezeshaji barani Afrika KUZA Biashara.Felista Nyakio Mutungi kijana mkulima wa kaunti ya Kirinyaga, ni mmoja wa wanufaika wa mafunzo kupitia mradi huo. Na hapa anasema....CUT 2- Sauti ya Felista Nyakio Mutungi“Kabla ya kuanza kilimo, nilikuwa nauza barabarani viazi vya kukaanga au chipsi,  na mihogo, pamoja na nafaka. Haikuwa vizuri sana, lakini ndiyo nafasi pekee niliyokuwa nayo wakati huo. Kupitia serikali ya kaunti ya Kirinyaga, tulisajiliwa kama vijana wanaopenda kilimo na tukapata mafunzo kupitia KUZA na UNICEF. Sasa mimi ni mkulima na mjasiriamali.”Felista anasema awali alikuwa akilima robo ekari ya mpunga na kuvuna magunia manne hadi matano pekee. Lakini baada ya mradi wa EKYAN, kwa robo ekari hiyo hiyo sasa anapata hadi magunia saba. Aidha, shamba lake limepanuka hadi ekari nne katika eneo la 'mradi wa umwagiliaji wa Bura.Felista hakutaka kuwa mchoyo wa manufaa aliyopata, hivyo ameamua kueneza ujuzi wa kilimo cha kibiashara kwa kuwafundisha baadhi ya wakulima wengine mbinu na maarifa ya kilimo hiki.CUT- Sauti ya Felista  Nyakio Mutungi“Sasa si tu kwamba nalima, bali pia nawafundisha wakulima wengine kuongeza thamani katika mazao yao. Wanapata ujuzi wa kufanya biashara kupitia kilimo. Na kwa kweli tunawashukuru wahisani na UNICEF kwa kutuwezesha. Bila mpango huu, nisingekuwa hapa nilipo leo.”Kwa upande wake mtaalamu wa ubunifu wa UNICEF nchini Kenya Lilian Njoro, anaeleza kwa nini mradi huo ni muhimu kwa vijana.CUT- Sauti ya Lilian Njoro."Ni asilimia 10 pekee ya vijana wanaojihusisha na sekta ya kilimo. Kwa hivyo, kupitia mradi wa EKYAN, tulitaka kuona jinsi ya kuwahusisha vijana wengi zaidi katika kilimo na kuwavutia ili waweze kuanza kupata maisha yenye utulivu na ajira bora kupitia sekta hii.”Njoro anasisitiza kuwa teknolojia mpya zinafungua njia kwa kilimo cha kisasa tofauti na enzi za wazazi na mababu zao.Namna kilimo kinavyofanyika nyakati hizi ni tofauti na zamani,hii ni kwa sababu ya uwepo wa teknolojia bunifu, majukwaa ya kidijitali, na fursa nyingi.Kwa sasa, mradi wa EKYAN umeendelea kuwajengea vijana ujuzi, kuwapatia nafasi ya ajira, na kubadilisha mtazamo wao kuhusu kilimo, kutoka shughuli ya kizamani hadi kuwa biashara yenye faida.Link: https://youtu.be/hv17nk-2l5kTAGS:UNICEF Kenya/Kilimo/Biashara na ujasiriamali

Gaza – The Gates of HellLast Saturday millions across the world, including here in Belfast, participated in one of the biggest ever solidarity events as part of a Global Day of Action in support of the Palestinian people. At the same time dozens of boats, and hundreds of human rights activists, are taking part in the largest civilian freedom flotilla. Among them are three senior Sinn Féin representatives; Lynn Boylan MEP, Seanadoir Chris Andrews and Shónagh Ní Raghallaigh TD. They are all on their way to the Gaza Strip in a courageous effort to break Israel's illegal blockade. Their aim is to deliver much needed food and medicine to the people of that besieged territory.Next month will mark two years since the commencement of the Israeli genocide assault against the Palestinian people, following the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023. The statistics of death and destruction are horrendous. To date almost 65,000 Palestinians have been confirmed as killed with many thousands more buried under the rubble of Gaza.  Almost 20,000 children have been murdered and tens of thousands have suffered serious injuries, many of them life changing.UNICEF has described the situation in Gaza City as catastrophic with starvation now an integral part of Israel's genocidal war against civilians. Eight Palestinian children die every day from starvation. The Israeli forces kill 28 children every day. Over 350 children are daily being admitted to the limited U.N. facilities still operating within the Gaza Strip, suffering from acute malnutrition. Many will not survive and those who do will suffer from health problems for the rest of their lives because of this experience.The Voice of Hind RajabMovies can uplift and depress, frighten and inspire, and occasionally make us laugh. The Irish experience, through films like Hunger, which tells the story of Bobby Sands; In the Name of the Father which recounts the miscarriage of Justice experienced by the Guildford Four; of Michael Collins; Bloody Sunday and others is evidence of this. These movies focussed on important political or historical events while successfully and emotionally impacting on audiences.Last week ‘The Voice of Hind Rajab' received the longest ever standing ovation at the Venice film festival and won the Silver Lion prize. It is a drama based on true events – the killing by Israel of a five-year-old Palestinian child, Hind Rajab, in Gaza in January 2024.Hind was in a car with her Aunt and Uncle and four cousins trying to flee Israeli forces. Their car was struck by a shell and the adults and three children were killed. An Israeli tank fired consistently into the trapped vehicle. The fourth cousin was later killed. Hind was alone, surrounded by the bodies of her relatives. She spent hours on a mobile phone with the Palestine Red Crescent Society. She was terrified. She pleaded for help. “Come take me. You will come and take me? … I'm so scared, please come. Please call someone to come and take me.” Desperately the Red Crescent sought clearance from the Israeli Army to send an ambulance. They never got it.Van The ManA very happy 80th birthday to Van Morrison. This column is a big fan of Van the Mans music. It is great that he is still so creative.

Kwa mara ya kwanza idadi ya watoto na vijana wa umri wa kwenda shule wenye unene wa kupindukiaau utipwatipwa imezidi idadi ya watoto wenye utapiamlo duniani ikiathiri watoto milioni 188 sawa na mtoto 1 kati ya kila watoto 10 imesema leo ripoti iliyotolewa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Tuungane na Leah Mushi kusikia zaidi kuhusu ripoti hiyo, karibu LeahRipoti hii mpya ya UNICEF iitwayo “Faida kwenye vyakula: Jinsi Mazingira ya Chakula yanavyowaangusha watoto” imechambua takwimu kutoka nchi zaidi ya 190 na kubaini kwamba kiwango cha watoto wenye utapiamlo kimepungua tangu mwaka 2000, lakini wale wenye unene wa kupindukia kimeongezeka mara tatu.Kwa sasa, utipwatipwa umeenea katika kila eneo la dunia isipokuwa Afrika eneo la Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na Asia Kusini. Nchi za visiwa vidogo vya Pasifiki ndizo zinaongoza kwa kuwa na viwango vya juu zaidi, ikiwemo Niue yenye asilimia 38 ya watoto wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 19 wakiwa na unene wa kupindukia.Nini kimesababisha?UNICEF inasema mabadiliko ya mifumo ya lishe kutoka vyakula vya asili hadi vyakula vya kutengenezwa kwa haraka na vya bei nafuu lakini vyenye sukari, mafuta na chumvi nyingi ndiyo chanzo kikuu cha ongezeko hili.Pia inatahadharisha kuwa matangazo ya kidijitali ya vinywaji vyenye sukari na vyakula vya viwandani yanawafikia vijana wengi, hata katika nchi zenye migogoro.Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell, amesema utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa  ya kiafya kwa watoto kwa sababu huongeza hatari ya kupata kisukari, shinikizo la damu na magonjwa ya moyo katika maisha ya baadaye.Russell amesema “Tunapozungumza kuhusu utapiamlo, hatuzungumzii tu kuhusu watoto wenye uzito mdogo, utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa inayoendelea kuongezeka ambayo inaweza kuathiri afya na maendeleo ya watoto. Vyakula vya viwandani vinazidi kuongezeka na kuchukua nafasi ya matunda, mboga mboga na protini katika wakati ambao lishe ina jukumu muhimu katika ukuaji wa watoto, ukuaji wa utambuzi na afya ya akili.”Nini kifanyike?Ili kukabiliana na hali hii, UNICEF inazitaka serikali kuchukua hatua madhubuti ikiwemo kupiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula visivyo na lishe shuleni, kudhibiti matangazo ya vyakula vyenye sukari na mafuta, na kuweka sera za kusaidia familia kupata chakula bora na chenye lishe.Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF, bila hatua za haraka, gharama za kiafya na kiuchumi zitakazotokana na tatizo la utipwatipwa wa utotoni zinatarajiwa kupindukia dola trilioni 4 kila mwaka ifikapo mwaka 2035.Zipo juhudi za kupambana na hali hiyo ambazo zimeanza kuchukuliwa na baadhi ya nchi, mfano mzuri ni Mexico ambayo hivi karibuni imepiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula vilivyosindikwa na vile vyenye chumvi, sukari na mafuta mengi katika  maeneo ya shule za umma.

Leo jaridani Assumpta Massoi anamulika kauli ya OHCHR kufuatia maandamano yanayoendelea Nepal; Utipwatipwa 'wapiku' utapiamlo na harakati za kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi huko Karamoja nchini Uganda,Kamishna Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu Haki za Binadamu ameonesha wasiwasi mkubwa kufuatia ghasia zinazoendelea na kushika kasi nchini Nepal, huko barani Asia, ambako maandamano dhidi ya ufisadi na marufuku ya mitandao ya kijamii yamesababisha vifo vya watu wengi pamoja na majeruhi. Flora Nducha amefuatilia taarifa hiyo na anatupasha zaidi.Kwa mara ya kwanza idadi ya watoto na vijana wa umri wa kwenda shule wenye unene wa kupindukiaau utipwatipwa imezidi idadi ya watoto wenye utapiamlo duniani ikiathiri watoto milioni 188 sawa na mtoto 1 kati ya kila watoto 10 imesema leo ripoti iliyotolewa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Tuungane na Leah Mushi kusikia zaidi kuhusu ripoti hiyo, karibu LeahKaramoja, eneo la kaskazini mashariki mwa Uganda, linakabiliwa na changamoto kubwa za tabianchi kama vile ukame wa mara kwa mara na milipuko ya magonjwa ya mimea na mifugo, hali inayotishia uhakika wa chakula. Kupitia mradi wa PROACT, mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la  Chakula na Kilimo Duniani (FAO), na Mpango wa chakula Duniani (WFP) pamoja na Ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu wa Uganda kwa ufadhili wa Muungano wa Ulaya, EU, wameshirikiana katika kuimarisha mifumo ya kushughulikia mabadiliko ya kiikolojia na kijamii.

In this episode, we spoke with Cornelia C. Walther about her three books examining technology's role in society. Walther, who spent nearly two decades with UNICEF and the World Food Program before joining Wharton's AI & Analytics Initiative, brings field experience from West Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean to her analysis of how human choices shape technological outcomes. The conversation covered her work on COVID-19's impact on digital inequality, her framework for understanding how values get embedded in AI systems, and her concept of "Aspirational Algorithms"—technology designed to enhance rather than exploit human capabilities. We discussed practical questions about AI governance, who participates in technology development, and how different communities approach technological change. Walther's "Values In, Values Out" framework provided a useful lens for examining how the data and assumptions we feed into AI systems shape their outputs. The discussion examined the relationship between technology design, social structures, and human agency. We explored how pandemic technologies became normalized, whose voices are included in AI development, and what it means to create "prosocial" technology in practice. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tras casi dos años de guerra entre Israel y Hamás, más de 60 mil personas han perdido la vida, 18 mil de ellas niños, según la UNICEF. Aquellos que aún sobreviven se encuentran en niveles catastróficos de hambre, pero no solo es una consecuencia del conflicto armado, pues se destruyeron lugares clave para el desarrollo y abastecimiento de alimentos, orillando a la hambruna a niños, bebés, mujeres y hombres inocentes.

In this high-stress Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I find myself in the heart of Dakar, Senegal, with a bus leaving at 7 am – and a taxi driver who has no idea where the bus terminal is. What follows is a chaotic ride through a waking city, a ticking clock, and rising panic. But this episode isn't just about the stress. Along the way, I also meet a talented local artist and an inspiring Italian woman working with UNICEF. It's a snapshot of the real Senegal – unpredictable, vibrant, and full of character. See pictures and read more on https://www.theradiovagabond.com/118-dakar/ This Flashback Friday episode was first released on November 12, 2020.

We often talk about undernutrition as if it's just about food. But in reality, it's about so much more. Poverty, poor sanitation, limited healthcare, food insecurity, and gender inequality all intersect to create a cycle that no single sector can solve alone.In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Alok Ranjan, Director of Programmes and Investments at The Power of Nutrition. A medical doctor with over two decades of global experience—including leadership roles at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNICEF, and WHO—Dr. Ranjan shares why tackling undernutrition requires a multisectoral approach that brings together health, agriculture, education, and social protection.We explore:• What “multisectoral” really means in practice• Examples of integrated approaches that have worked in high-burden contexts• The challenges of aligning priorities across different sectors• How to involve communities, especially women and caregivers, in designing effective programs• Why long-term, sustainable impact depends on collaboration beyond health aloneIf you are curious about what it really takes to break the cycle of undernutrition and why cross-sector partnerships matter, this conversation is for you.About Nutrition Every Day: A special podcast series by The Good Sight and Rise Against Hunger India, bringing grounded, sharp insights on health and nutrition.CreditsHost: Shreya MGuest: Dr. Alok RanjanResearch: Alisha CArtwork: Rajnikant SProduced by: The Good SightConcept: The Good Sight & Rise Against Hunger IndiaFor feedback or to participate, write to us at ⁠contact@thegoodsight.org⁠#NutritionEveryDay #Undernutrition #FoodSecurity #HealthSystems #SustainableNutrition #TheGoodSight #RiseAgainstHungerIndia #PowerOfNutrition

Sasa twende Gaza, hii ni hadithi ya maisha, ya watoto wa Gaza wanaokabiliana na baa la njaa, hofu, na kuporomoka kwa kila kitu kinachowaweka hai. Ni hadithi inayoelezwa kupitia macho ya wale wanaoshuhudia mateso kila siku wakiwemo madaktari, akina mama, na wahudumu wa kibinadamu wanaopiga kengele ya tahadhari. Miongoni mwa wahudumu hao ni Tess Ingram afisa mawasiliano wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF ofisi ya Kanda ya Mashariki ya Kati na Afrika Kaskazini. Flora Nducha anasimulia alichokishudia(TAARIFA YA FLORA NDUCHA)Tess aliyefunga safari na kushuhudia hali halisi Gaza akizungumza na waandishi wa habari kutoka mji wa Al Mawasi amesema mwenye macho haambiwi tazama na alichokishuhudia ni cha kutisha kwani jiji hilo sasa linazidi kuzama kwenye lindi la baa la njaa, vituo vya lishe vimefungwa, familia zinalia na kuhaha na watoto wanakufa kila uchao bila msaada.(Tess Ingram- Sheillah)“Jiji la Gaza, kimbilio la mwisho kwa familia za Kaskazini, linakuwa mahali ambapo utoto hauwezi kuishi. Ni jiji la hofu, wakimbizi na mazishi.”Anasema zaidi ya nusu ya vituo vya lishe vya watoto vimefungwa na kina mama wanapofika hospitalini wakiwa wamebeba watoto wao unaoweza kuhesabu mbavu sababu ya kukonda wanaambulia patupu kwani msaada ni haba na kwengine hakuna kabisa.(Tess Ingram 2-Sheilah):“Kilichokuwa hakifikiriki si jambo lijalo ni hali ambayo iko hapa tayari. Kuanguka kwa huduma muhimu na kunawaacha watoto wasiojiweza Gaza wakihaha kusalia uhai.”Tess anasema ukiingia katika vituo vya msaada ndio utatambua wanachokipitia watoto wa Gaza kwani, mateso yanaonekana bayana(Tess Ingram 3-Sheillah)“Saa moja tu ndani ya kliniki ya lishe inatosha kuondoa shaka na shuku yoyote uliyonayo ya endapo Gaza kuna baa la njaa.”UNICEF inasisitiza wito wake kuwa raia walindwe, msaada wa chakula na dawa upelekwe kwa wahitaji bila vizuizi. Kwa sababu watoto wa Gaza bado wako hai na dunia ina uwezo wa kuamua endapo wasalie hai.

In this high-stress Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I find myself in the heart of Dakar, Senegal, with a bus leaving at 7 am – and a taxi driver who has no idea where the bus terminal is. What follows is a chaotic ride through a waking city, a ticking clock, and rising panic. But this episode isn't just about the stress. Along the way, I also meet a talented local artist and an inspiring Italian woman working with UNICEF. It's a snapshot of the real Senegal – unpredictable, vibrant, and full of character.

Navyn Salem, founder and CEO of the malnutrition social enterprise Edesia, discusses our shared humanity in caring for children all over the world. Edesia produces fortified, peanut-based products like Plumpy'Nut for humanitarian agencies like UNICEF, World Food Programme, and other NGOs working in emergency and conflict zones. “We feed children everywhere because that's what humanity is, and we do not want to lose our humanity. We are smart enough. We have enough resources. We're creative and innovative enough to feed every child on planet Earth,” Salem asserts. Edesia has been impacted by Trump Administration decisions around foreign aid in the last seven months. “I started speaking up and explaining to people that huge parts of humanitarian assistance that the US government does are a win-win for the world and they have to be continued,” she says.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today on the show, James Elder is here. James is UNICEF's global spokesperson, and he has made five trips to Gaza since the October attacks documenting what UNICEF has called a “war on children.” He joins us less than two weeks after a UN backed body officially designated the hunger crisis in Gaza a famine, one that the UN's relief chief Tom Fletcher says is man-made, and the result of what he calls “systematic obstruction by Israel”. Elder has also reported from Darfur, Yemen, Afghanistan and more. But he says Gaza is unlike anything he's seen. We're going to talk about his experiences on the ground and the responsibility of a witness in a time of war.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

In this episode, Kate speaks with surgeon, writer, and public health leader Dr. Atul Gawande about the deeply human questions that surface when medicine meets its limits. What does it mean to be a good doctor when a cure isn’t possible? What do people really mean when they say they want “quality of life”? Together, they talk about caregiving, end-of-life decisions, and how the most honest conversations in healthcare begin—not with answers—but with better questions. For anyone living with chronic illness, caring for someone they love, or wondering what it means to live a good life with limits, this conversation won’t offer easy fixes. But it might offer something just as rare: clarity, compassion, and the courage to ask what really matters. Watch the full episode on YouTube: Kate C.

According to UNICEF, Irish teens are number one in academic performance, beating all other nations in the rich world. However, we rank only 24th in adolescent mental well-being…In terms of both mental and physical health, we are far outpaced in both mental and physical health by the Dutch, the people who cycle incessantly.So, should we take a leaf out of their book and hop on our bikes more often?Aibhlín O'Leary, Head of Advocacy for UNICEF Ireland, joins Seán to discuss.

Unicef's Salam Al-Janabi speaks from Kabul about the devastating earthquake which struck last night.

"No hay palabras para describir el sufrimiento de las personas, sobre todo de los niños en Gaza", ha explicado en Hoy por Hoy la jefa de oficina de Unicef en Palestina, Sonia Silva, quien ha advertido que calcula que "los niños están en situaciones cada vez más críticas" y, además, ha aseverado que "hasta 2.000 personas han muerto que han ido a buscar ayuda humanitaria".

Según la organización UNICEF, son casi 19.000 menores los masacrados en Gaza desde el inicio del conflicto, además de los más de 120 niños muertos por hambre. Esto ha provocado reacciones en buena parte de la Comunidad Internacional, incluidos activistas y civiles, como las 300 personas que han embarcado en la llamada Flotilla de la Libertad rumbo a Gaza. 5.000 personas se congregaron ayer para despedir a la Flotilla, que tiene por objetivo romper el bloqueo de ayuda humanitaria que mantiene Israel. Aquí en España, hoy comienza el curso político con un acto sobre cambio climático al que acudirá el presidente del Gobierno y los ministros. el Ejecutivo quiere sacar adelante un pacto de Estado para adaptar el país a la emergencia climática. 

As the old cliché goes, the first casualty when war comes is truth.In the past week, Israel has denied that it has caused a famine in Gaza, accusing the UN-backed body behind the report of a “blood libel”, and killed five more journalists in a widely condemned double-tap attack on a hospital. It is part of a wider trend that has made getting to the facts of the war in Gaza difficult. To understand how a war on truth is being waged in Israel, Venetia speaks to UNICEF's Tess Ingram in Gaza City, Phil Chetwynd, global news director of news agency AFP, and Israeli information warfare specialist Tal Hagin.READ MORE:What really happened with Israel's ‘double-tap' strike on Gaza hospital? https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/08/27/what-really-happened-with-israel-double-tap-gaza-hospital/Seven common tropes used to deny Gaza's famine: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/seven-common-tropes-used-to-deny-gazas-famine-debunked/Listen to our mini series on the rise of China's military: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/08/08/battle-lines-podcast-inside-the-rise-of-chinas-military/https://linktr.ee/BattleLinesContact us with feedback or ideas:battlelines@telegraph.co.uk@venetiarainey@RolandOliphant Hosted on Acast.

A day after a famine is confirmed in Gaza City, a spokesperson for the UN children's agency Unicef lls us she's afraid hunger will spread. We ask the Norwegian government what other countries can do to put pressure on Israel to let in aid.Also in the programme: Jeffrey Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell tells the authorities she never saw President Trump in any compromising situations, and there is no ‘list'; but how credible is a convicted criminal seeking release? And we discuss whether novels really benefit from “sensitivity readers”.(Image: Palestinian doctor Ahmed Basal examines a child for malnutrition at Al-Rantisi Hospital in Gaza City, 7 August, 2025.
