Action Against Malnutrition through Agriculture (AAMA) in Nepal
Localização
Helen Keller International (HKI), its national partner Nepali Technical Assistance Group (NTAG) and local NGO partners are collaborating on an innovation to improve food security and child growth in Nepal's neglected far western region. The project uses HKI's homestead food production program and the Essential Nutrition Actions framework, a combination that will ensure enhanced household food production contributes to the improved growth of children under two years as well as household income. The model is being tested for national scale-up.
The project builds on tested models but uses rigorous research and evaluation to demonstrate with high quality data the benefits of this approach for children, women and their communities. Beyond the synergy of self-sustaining food production programs and behavior change communications to catalyze improved nutrition practices, the project will strengthen the country's Female Community Health Volunteer (FCHV) program by linking these women to the food production system as compensation for their considerable contributions to their communities. The project is also studying the pathways by which the investments lead to outcomes in order to enhance understanding of what causes success and to inform further improvements to the model and scale up
