Maternal and child nutrition and health
Maternal and child nutrition, health and food security are inextricably linked. Recognizing this, Food for Peace implements a range of activities and programs that promote and support maternal and child nutrition and health in food security programs. These programs provide pregnant women, nursing mothers and children with support for improved dietary diversity, improved infant feeding and care practices and prevention of, and recuperation from, malnutrition, through a variety of community based nutrition, health, water and sanitation programs that include capacity building, behavior change communication, access to preventive and curative health services and the provision of on-site and/or take home rations.
