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, IFAD has prepared a Nutrition Action Plan (2019-2025). IFAD’s NAP includes a number of activities at all level 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 underutilized species, improve rural infrastructure (water supply, storage, markets and roads), increase awareness on healthy diet, implement nutrition education and SBCC campaigns, build capacities of stakeholders and policy makers on nutrition-sensitive agriculture at national and local level, support multistakeholder coordination. Special focus is on building climate resilience, gender equity, youth inclusion as well as Indigenous Peoples' food systems. IFAD will also partner with other UN agencies, CSOs, private sectors and research organisations.
