Description
CARE supports women's dietary diversity through multi-sectoral interventions that increase both supply and demand of diverse, nutritious foods. To this end, we will with partners in agriculture and other relevant areas to employ market-based approaches to increase local production of nutritious foods, which will increase access to and availability of a diverse supply of nutrient-rich foods. We will also work with health and nutrition partners to improve women's nutrition knowledge, dietary practices, and decision-making over household food purchases and consumption.
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Improving Nutrition Approaches
Description
Improving nutrition must happen through local structures or collectives, such as care or savings groups, and integrated approaches. This commitment will focus on both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive approaches. By focusing on these two approaches, we will directly affect nutrition for women and children, support dietary diversity, and promote positive nutrition practices. CARE also focuses on male engagement and sectoral interventions such as homestead food production, improved WASH access and agriculture and natural resource management practices and models that prioritize nutrition outcomes. Building on successes, we will build stronger service delivery and coordination systems across stakeholder platforms that improve access and delivery of quality health, agriculture, water, climate, and education services, for improved nutrition.
