Increase the proportion of children aged 6 to 23 months with minimal dietary diversity
Description
- Increase the supply of complementary foods (fortified or unfortified) from local resources and produced by local Medium and Small Businesses.
- Support agriculture/processing/structuring of value chains.
We will act on all components of food systems, including establishing a normative framework for complementary foods, stimulating demand for nutritious and diverse foods, and encouraging the production, processing and retailing of nutritious and diverse food that is local and affordable for children. A social marketing strategy will be deployed based on the evidence generated on children's food consumption behaviours. This strategy will be based on:
- Education and awareness raising for parents and caregivers;
- Improving access to nutritious food (local production and fortified food supplements)
- Multi-sectoral collaboration
