Twenty five percent of women reporting minimum dietary diversity (MDDW) by 2025
Description
IFAD's investments will integrate the minimum dietary diversity 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 availability of diverse and highly nutritious diets such as vegetables, fruits and animal sourced foods, neglected and underutilised species and biofortification. IFAD will also seek to make the 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, promote consumption of diversified diets through nutrition education and social behaviour change communication. Other support includes, access to safe water and sanitation, reduction of food loss and waste. Women are considered key actors for change and they are valued as main drivers of development. Finally capacity of project implementers will be developed on nutrition metrics.

Title
Integrating nutrition in agriculture
Description
IFAD is committed to addressing the nutrition needs of the rural poor by integrating nutrition in its programme of loans and grants. These include the country strategic opportunities programmes (COSOP) in each country and investment projects in agriculture, rural development and more broadly in food systems. Such investments identify clear impact pathways through which they can maximize their contribution to healthy diets and improved nutrition at all stages of food value chains (production, packaging, transporting, distribution, marketing) and by ensuring consumer demand for healthy choices, changes in food consumption patterns and coordination with other sectors and stakeholders
