Commitment
Expanding Social Protection Programs for Nutrition
Description
The Government of Timor-Leste commits to scaling up cash transfer and social safety net programs to improve household food security and nutrition for pregnant women and young children (0–23 months). Key interventions include:
- Expanding coverage of social protection programs to at least 80% of nutritionally vulnerable households with pregnant women and young children.
- Leveraging conditional cash transfer mechanisms, linking payments to antenatal care (ANC) visits, postnatal care, and child growth monitoring.
- Strengthening coordination between social protection and health programs to improve access to essential maternal and child nutrition services.
