IMPROVING NUTRITION IN TANZANIA
This RFA describes what will be the main nutrition program funded by USAID/Tanzania between 2011-2016 and will directly support the objectives and implementation of the GOT�s NNS, as well as the nutrition component of the CAADP/TAFSIP.
The program will emphasize strengthening the capacity of Tanzanian systems at all levels and across sectors to provide critical nutrition services and education.
It will also embrace an implementation research approach and a robust learning-by-doing agenda that will contribute to the future scaling up of nutrition programs and services across the entire country.
The overall goal of the program is to improve the nutritional status of children and pregnant and lactating women in Tanzania.
The program�s objectives are:
- To reduce the prevalence of low height for age (stunting) among children under-five years of age by 20% over the next 5 years in target regions.
- To reduce maternal anemia (as measured by blood haemoglobin concentration) by 20% over the next 5 years in target regions.
