Six million persons provided with targeted support to improve their nutrition by 2025. This targeted support refers to the support provided to smallholder farmers (direct beneficiaries) on nutrition education, social behaviour change communication, establishment of kitchen gardens, supply of inputs, food processing and basic infrastructure such as markets and drinking water etc

In order to achieve this commitment, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) has prepared a Nutrition Action Plan (NAP) 2019–2025. IFAD’s NAP includes a number of activities at all levels of the food system. In particular, IFAD works to increase the production of nutritious food for market and self-consumption, reduce food waste and loss, promote neglected and underutilised species, improve rural infrastructure (water supply, storage, markets and roads), increase awareness on healthy diet, implement nutrition education and social behaviour change communication (SBCC) campaigns, build capacities of stakeholders and policymakers on nutrition-sensitive agriculture at national and local levels and support multi-stakeholder coordination. Special focus is on building climate resilience, gender equity and youth inclusion as well as Indigenous Peoples' food systems. IFAD will also partner with other UN agencies, civil society organisations, the private sector and research organisations.
