Twenty five percent of women reporting minimum dietary diversity (MDDW) by 2025

International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) investments will integrate the minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W) indicator and collect data at three points: baseline, midterm and endline. In order to achieve this commitment, IFAD will invest in nutrition-sensitive interventions to increase the availability of diverse and highly nutritious diets such as vegetables, fruits, animal-sourced foods, neglected and underutilised species and biofortification. IFAD will also seek to make rural livelihoods profitable and climate resilient, investing mainly in the poor smallholder producers, women, youth and Indigenous Peoples. IFAD will also invest in nutrition-sensitive value chains and promote consumption of diversified diets through nutrition education and social behaviour change communication. Other support includes access to safe water, sanitation and reduction of food loss and waste. Women are considered key actors for change, and they are valued as the main drivers of development. Finally, the capacity of project implementers will be developed on nutrition metrics.
