Description
1) Objective
The global objective of this call for proposals is to improve access to healthy diets in Ethiopia particularly for women and nutritionally vulnerable groups. It is recognised that improved dietary quality and nutrition outcomes for women and nutritionally vulnerable groups – particularly those in the poorest quintiles – cannot be achieved by investment alone but emerge through the interaction of investment-driven income effects with complementary policy, regulatory, social protection and behaviour change measures to discourage unhealthy food environments and enable access to healthy diets.
The specific objective(s) of this call for proposals is to mobilize investment in climate-resilient, nutrition-sensitive agri-food value chains in Ethiopia.
