This is a  five-year initiative funded by the European Union and implemented by the Civil Society Organizations Nutrition Alliance (CSONA) in partnership with Self Help Africa (SHA). Implemented under Lot 2: Support to Local CSOs to Promote Equity and Innovation in Food Fortification and Infant Food, the project promotes inclusive, community-driven approaches to address micronutrient deficiencies in Malawi.

The project is being implemented in Mulanje, Thyolo, Dedza, and Balaka, focusing on strengthening local CSOs to enhance demand, access, and equitable availability of fortified and biofortified foods particularly among women, children, and vulnerable groups such as people living with HIV, persons with disabilities, and survivors of gender-based violence.

The project is also aligned with Malawi’s National Multi-Sector Nutrition Policy, Agriculture Sector Food and Nutrition Strategy, and Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition Strategy.
