World Vision's Positive Deviance/Hearth Plus (PDH+) programme demonstrates that locally-available foods and coping strategies can be used to effectively address malnutrition. Malnutrition can be prevented and addressed through: Nutrition education (social behaviour change), consumption of healthy diets containing diverse foods, and food fortification and supplementation when needed. This brief highlights PDH programmes implemented in acute food insecure and fragile contexts to show the viability of using locally available, low-cost, micronutrient-rich foods in complementary feeding to prevent and treat malnutrition.
