The practical application of nutrition-sensitive agriculture continues to be a challenge for development practitioners all over the world.

To gain a better understanding of how agriculture interventions can contribute to improved nutrition, USAID’s flagship multi-sectoral nutrition project, Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING), partnered with USAID and nongovernmental organizations operating in Zambia to learn from these three agriculture and food security activities implementing nutrition-sensitive interventions:

Mawa, led by Catholic Relief Services
Realigning Agriculture to Improve Nutrition (RAIN/RAIN+) led by Concern Worldwide
Feed the Future Production, Finance, and Improved Technology Plus (PROFIT+), led by ACDI/VOCA

This webinar discussed findings and recommendations and what they mean for future programming in Zambia and nutrition-sensitive programs worldwide.

Speakers:

Constance Gewa, SPRING Review Lead, George Mason University
Lidan Du, Research Adviser, SPRING
Erin Baldridge, Mawa Project Chief of Party, Catholic Relief Services
Danny Harvey, Country Director, Concern Worldwide
Sally Abbott, Senior Nutrition Advisor, Bureau for Food Security | USAID
