Commitment
Increasing Awareness and Access to Healthy Nutritious Foods Among Communities
Description
The Government of Timor-Leste commits to promoting the consumption of locally available, climate-resilient nutritious foods to enhance household nutrition, with a focus on pregnant women and children (0–23 months). This will involve:
• Reaching at least 100,000 households with awareness campaigns on local, healthy foods and complementary feeding for infants.
• Integrating nutrition education into social protection and agricultural extension programs, linking these initiatives with maternal and child health services.
• Strengthening community-based nutrition promoters to foster sustainable behavior change.
