Description
Overarching commitment (for commitments submitted pre-2025)
Title
Set standard and measure our progress
Description
Moving forward, Food for the Hungry will track improvements in the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding of children zero to six months old, reductions in malnutrition among children under five years old, and improvements in dietary diversity across all of our programming. By establishing benchmarks across our public and privately funded work, we will elevate the importance of nutrition in our work. As an example, a recent USAID-funded program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Food for the Hungry saw an increase of exclusive breastfeeding from 44 to 72 percent.
