Goal action plan
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.
