“With this new approach, USAID is harnessing the power of science and technology to ensure every child and mother has the nutrition they need to thrive,” Shah said in a statement. The Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Strategy will integrate nutrition priorities into USAID’s health, agriculture and humanitarian programs. Aiming for high impact, activities will include “enhancing maternal nutrition, promoting dietary diversity in children, providing safe drinking water, teaching good hygiene like hand washing…and increasing access to high-nutrient food.”
