The campaign emphasized the need for a collective effort from social, economic, and human capacity development perspectives.

During the event, Deputy Prime Minister Jama highlighted the government's commitment to tackling poverty and creating opportunities for its citizens through national policies, including the upcoming National Transformation Plan.

"The 'Enough' campaign to end child hunger and malnutrition in Somalia is a noble and necessary cause that requires collective effort from social, economic, and human capacity development perspectives. As the government, we will use our national policies, mainly the upcoming National Transformation Plan, for bringing down increasing levels of poverty and creating productive opportunities for our citizens," said Jama.
