Commitment description

Improving nutrition must happen through local structures or collectives, such as care or savings groups, and integrated approaches. This commitment will focus on both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive approaches. By focusing on these two approaches, we will directly affect nutrition for women and children, support dietary diversity, and promote positive nutrition practices. CARE also focuses on male engagement and sectoral interventions such as homestead food production, improved WASH access and agriculture and natural resource management practices and models that prioritize nutrition outcomes. Building on successes, we will build stronger service delivery and coordination systems across stakeholder platforms that improve access and delivery of quality health, agriculture, water, climate, and education services, for improved nutrition.
