The USAID-funded Amalima Loko program is a five-year (2020–2025) Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) operating in five districts of Zimbabwe’s Matabeleland North province. It aims to improve the nutritional status and practices among women of reproductive age and children under five years of age. As part of a package of multi-sectoral efforts to improve nutrition indicators, Amalima Loko envisioned developing local food-based recommendation (FBRs) to utilize locally available foods and support caregivers in addressing sub-optimal feeding practices.

Over the course of the project’s five years, USAID Advancing Nutrition worked to support the U.S. Agency for International Development, implementing partners, and national stakeholders to improve IYCF. We implemented more than 30 activities across the project’s core portfolio and six of its country programs (Ghana, Kenya, Kyrgyz Republic, Mozambique, Niger, and Nigeria). This learning brief summarizes key lessons learned from these efforts and shares resources we developed and recommendations for future nutrition programs.

USAID Advancing Nutrition’s commitment to strengthening nutrition governance took root in our very approach to setting goals and designing and planning activities that aligned with country-led and -owned priorities. As such, our goals and approach to nutrition governance varied significantly based on country priorities. The approaches we used included providing technical assistance, supporting capacity strengthening, and acting as a convenor and facilitator. Work done by other USAID projects informed our thinking on nutrition governance and approaches.
