ProjectStrengthening Capacities for Nutrition-Sensitive Agriculture and Food Systems in India and Sub-Saharan Africa - GCP/INT/714/GER 2023
Also available in:
The role of agriculture and food systems in improving nutrition is recognized as central to sustainable development. However, the majority of planners and managers involved in the development, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of food system and agriculture policies and programmes have a limited understanding of nutrition issues, agriculture's role in addressing these issues and practical entry points and interventions that can be used to enhance the nutritional impact of food and agriculture policies and programmes . The present project sought to integrate nutrition into policies and programmes beyond the traditional focus on food production. In that purpose, collaborations with academic and training institutions in sub Saharan Africa and India were forged to strengthen capacities of both individuals and organizations, thereby creating an enabling environment for nutrition policies. Through three outputs, the current project implemented capacity building activities, allowing institutions and practitioners to design and implement nutrition sensitive agricultural policies and programmes , as well as effective nutrition education strategies. The project’s activities were implemented in Côte d’Ivoire, India, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, the United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe. The development of global products included assessments and piloting in Chile and Tajikistan.
