USAID: Nutrition Program
USAID expands evidence-based approaches to nutrition and supports innovative new approaches that will increase access and improve outcomes for the most vulnerable populations. USAID’s strategic approach focuses on preventing malnutrition through a comprehensive package of maternal, infant, and young child nutrition programs; combating micronutrient deficiencies by targeted supplementation to vulnerable groups and food fortification; managing moderate or severe malnutrition through community-based programs; providing nutritional care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS; and improving nutritional outcomes in food security programs.
