SDF grants over USD 8 million to improve nutrition in Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka

The SAARC Development Fund (SDF), in late July, approved a USD 8.58 million grant under its Social Window to improve nutrition in Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka with the World Food Programme (WFP).

The project titled 'Scaling up rice through social safety net programmes in Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka' was submitted by the WFP as a regional project for co-financing by SDF, and finalized during the 33rd SDF Board Meeting held late July.
