[...] In response to this crisis, Oxfam, in addition to its efforts to support the development of the agricultural sector to protect the most vulnerable, including women and youth, and the resilience of communities to climate change, has adopted response plans in the three countries of the Central Sahel to provide food and nutrition assistance to people in need.
