NEX 8: Making Agriculture Nutrition Sensitive - Lessons from Zambia
The Integrating Gender and Nutrition within Agricultural Extension Services (INGENAES) is a USAID funded project that promotes dietary diversity through harmonising nutrition messages in agriculture. In this interview, Lillian Karanja, ENN’s East Africa’s Regional KM specialist speaks with Edye Kuyper who provides nutrition leadership within the INGENAES project, and Bertha Munthali, Nutrition Advisor for the Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network.
Bertha and Edye speak about the food security and nutrition situation in Zambia and how the particular challenges faced in this context led to the project’s conceptualisation. It shapes how dietary diversity messages were developed and and how sectors and partners were brought together based on their organisational comparative advantage.
