A growing body of evidence indicates that nutrition affects every aspect of human growth and development:
from physical growth, to performance in school, to the ability to fight off disease, to national health, food security, and economic advancement.
To address this, the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) is strengthening the provision of sustainable, high-quality, evidence-based interventions in target areas of Mozambique, to improve the nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women, adolescent girls, and children less than two years of age.
