Description

By 2029, Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), working closely with country governments, commits to implementing all relevant actions for anaemia reduction aligned with national and World Health Organization guidelines. AKF will implement effective actions for improving nutrition among women of reproductive age, strengthening the nutritional component of antenatal care (ANC) and targeting support for low gestational weight gain or underweight pregnant women. In communities, AKF will support food insecure households with pregnant and lactating women through lean season food baskets and build capacity among community health workers for infant and young child nutrition and dietary diversity counselling, among other interventions.
