DevComs introduces pupils to Soy protein
Development Communications Network through its project aimed at integrating soy nutrutition in food to reduce malnutrition, has begun to introduce Nigerians to the health benefit of soy, particularly soy protein. The campaign involves the distribution of posters, soy-product tasting in schools amongst others. This video shows the activities of DevComs at Santa Maria School, Alaka, lagos, Nigeria.

Malnutrition accounts for over 50% of under-five mortality in Nigeria (NDHS 2008), thus the need to encourage children to take food with adequate nutrition to help their growth and immunity. Soy-fortified products can give the needed protein requirement, as well as other nutrients, because they are made from soya beans often called the miracle crop of life.

The campaign against malnutrition through the integration of soy protein in food is being supported by World Initiative for Soy in Human Health.

In commemoration of the World AIDS Day 2011 which had the theme titled “Getting to zero”, four media forums were organised consecutively in Abuja, Ibadan, Ilorin and Kaduna, to further create awareness on the issues of HIV/AIDS and also provide linkages between family planning and HIV/AIDS.

The forums served as an avenue to strengthen the already drowning voices on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, and ensure that proper linkages were made clear on the need for integration of family planning with HIV/AIDS. The decision to organise these media forums to commemorate the world AIDS Day 2011 was an agreement between DevComs and NURHI, which was represented by the advocacy advisor.

The following topics were presented at the four Nigerian States:
  • Issues around HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and its link with Family Planning
  • Family Planning as a dual protection
