The Agriculture-Nutrition Advantage project builds on the results of a previous ICRW-IFPRI project, funded by USAID and the Rockefeller Foundation. That project collected empirical data that explored why the agriculture and nutrition communities are not working more closely together to reduce malnutrition and identified factors that either contributed to or inhibited cross-sectoral collaborations. Five countries are focused on: Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique and Uganda.
The project’s three objectives are:
- promote greater investment in strategies that link agriculture and nutrition, and that are informed by the use of gender analysis in the five African countries
- create a policy dialogue and gather new and existing evidence to promote greater investment in linked strategies by international development and donor agencies
- strengthen advocacy and gender analysis capacity of agriculture, nutrition and gender specialists
