Our Approach

Many different factors contribute to poor health. Therefore we take a multi-faceted approach to address the problem, working with the government and other national and local partners in four key areas;

  1. Help families develop year-round access to nutritious food

  2. Support caregivers in adopting improved feeding practices for infants and young children

  3. Help communities protect children from infection and disease through improved management of diarrhoea and better access to clean water and sanitation

  4. Support the government in improving the implementation of national nutrition policies
