Multi-Sectoral Approach

Food security, adequate care and feeding practices, and access to health service are interdependent to promote good nutrition. Using agriculture as an entry point, IFNA promotes multi-sectoral approach, integrating agriculture with other sectors, such as education, health, water and sanitation, social protection, into nutrition improvement actions.

Multi-Partner Approach

The governments alone cannot address the nutrition challenges. IFNA encourages national and sub-national governments to work with various stakeholder including communities, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and academia. As multi-stakeholder partnership platform, IFNA also benefits from collective experiences, knowledge, and technical expertise of the participating countries and Steering Committee member organizations.
