Canada funds the fight against malnutrition with $20 million grant

On Saturday, June 8, the Government of Canada demonstrated its commitment to the fight against malnutrition by announcing an important new contribution, CDN $20 million in new funding to the CGIAR Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) program.

Canada’s contribution will allow the A4NHprogram to accelerate new impact-oriented research by supporting:

  • researchers’ work to design and implement agriculture and health programs that improve the diets of mothers and children;
  • new research into community and farmer organizations, and private-sector actors, for market solutions aimed at reducing the price of nutritious food;
  • the design and evaluation of strategies that will scale up the delivery and reach of effective agricultural interventions; and
  • research to combine new technologies with enhanced capacity and market-based innovations that reduce risks to poor producers and consumers from perishable foods.
