The goal is aimed at ending hunger through achieving food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Zimbabwe continue to be food insecure despite having been regarded as the bread basket of Southern Africa in the early 1980s. The 2020 Zimbabwe Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), launched on 2 April 2020, indicated that 7 million people in urban and rural areas were in urgent need of humanitarian assistance across Zimbabwe, compared to 5.5 million in August 2019. This signifies rampant food insecurity in the country. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) score stand at 34.4 percent in 2019. This was attributable to the erratic rainfall and drought which put downward pressure on food and livestock production. To ensure this, NANGO has continuously invested in the coordination and capacity strengthening of its members for them to the nutritious, safe, affordable and sustainable diets they need to reach their full potential.
