October 04, 2021


Roayah News published an article on ways to address current nutrition issues and advance the nutrition agenda for 2021 and beyond, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing conflicts, and other problems and crises have made 2020 a difficult year for global nutrition. According to IFPRI, the main objective of the project is to support effective policies, program decisions, and actions to improve maternal and child nutrition. It has sought to achieve this goal by encouraging an inclusive and collaborative process of knowledge generation and mobilization among the many stakeholders involved. As a regional platform, the project’s comprehensive approach to West Africa has been rooted in four pivotal countries where more intensive work has been undertaken, in Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Burkina Faso.
