WASHINGTON, July 9, 2018 - The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors today approved the following project:
Djibouti - Towards Zero Stunting in Djibouti
IDA GRANT: US$ 15 million equivalent
Project ID: P164164
Project Description: The project will reduce stunting among children in Djibouti.

The project will also focus on adolescent girls.
