Accelerating Nutrition Improvements in Sub-Saharan Africa - Scale-up

The World Health Organization's Accelerating Nutrition Improvements project aims to catalyze action to improve health and reduce deaths of the most disadvantaged women and children by scaling up nutrition interventions. The project is designed to strengthen country government’s ability to combat disease and mortality rates associated with undernutrition of the most disadvantaged women and children. The Accelerating Nutrition Improvements project aims to scale-up direct evidence-based nutrition interventions in three high-burden countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that have joined the Scaling Up Nutrition movement.

The expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: women and children in three Sub-Saharan African countries receive effective nutrition interventions; enhanced healthy nutrition practices for mothers and children; evidence-based nutrition intervention program guidance accessed by global health practitioners and applied to nutrition programming.
