ENUFF End of Project report (Abridged)
The ENUFF project made notable strides, achieving significant reductions in stunting despite challenges such as the pandemic and economic factors.
Abstract
This abridged report highlights key findings from the Enhancing Nutrition of Upland Farming Families (ENUFF) project's endline quantitative and qualitative survey.
The project supported the rehabilitation of gravity-fed water schemes to meet the increased water demand resulting from project interventions. It has strengthened the capacities of district government staff and village nutrition teams to raise community awareness about nutritional status and inspire village-wide improvements.
By promoting nutrition-sensitive agriculture, ENUFF aimed to increase year-round access to nutritious fruits, vegetables, and other crops. The project promoted appropriate technologies for food processing to address the seasonality of nutrient-rich food supply, add value and increase access to markets.
The project worked closely with the National Nutrition Centre (Ministry of Health) at the national level, Provincial Nutrition Committees (PNCs) at the provincial level, and District Nutrition Committees (DNCs) and District Nutrition Teams (DNTs) at the district level.
ENUFF contributed to strengthening district-level nutrition committees to improve coordination and facilitate policy dialogues through regular planning, review meetings, and training sessions.
