Improve access to healthy food and nutrition services for vulnerable pregnant and lactating women and children under 2
Description
Cash transfers that are targeted for pregnant and lactating women can be extremely beneficial to access diverse diets and essential nutrition and health services. The impact of these transfers on nutrition can be leveraged if nutrition key messages as well as potential other measures complement these transfers.
Actions will focus on continuing improvement and delivery for IDPoor and the roll-out of Family Package for social assistance.
Materials need to be developed and finalized for Cash Transfers for Pregnant Women and Children under 2 to be complemented by nutrition messages for pregnant and lactating women.
