Purpose

The project aims to improve nutrition, nutrition-related rights, and gender equality for the poorest and most marginalized, especially women, adolescent girls, and children in Bangladesh (Thakugaron district), Kenya (Elgeyo Marakwet County), Somalia (Baidoa district) and Tanzania (Meatu and Maswa districts of Simiyu Region). In all four countries, women, adolescent girls and children represent a disproportionate number impacted by malnutrition due to various biological and socio-cultural factors, including poverty, gender inequality, and community norms. The project will reach 3,878,013 individuals, of which 1,363,380 are direct, and 2,514,633 are indirect.
