Countries around the world are increasingly experiencing emergencies due to natural disasters, conflict, displacement and migration. Complex and protracted emergencies are more common, with countries often at the nexus of development and humanitarian crises. USAID Advancing Nutrition leveraged multiple sectors to improve nutrition, food security, and resilience in response to the increasing complexity of these fragile contexts. Working across emergency and non-emergency contexts, we supported USAID and their implementing partners to strengthen evidence-based program design and implementation of nutrition and food security programming to improve nutrition and food security outcomes for the most vulnerable communities.
