Projects that work for improved nutrition Case studies from EU-funded projects

The European Union's approach for improved nutrition is a sustained, multi-sectoral, gender-transformative and rights-based approach. Therefore the EU has invested in both support for inclusive, sustainable food systems − encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainability – and in the public provision of universal health, education and social protection services. 

The transformation of entrenched inequalities, such as those related to wealth and gender, remains a fundamental cross-cutting priority. 

Spanning the world from Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Gambia, Mozambique and Uganda in Africa, to Bangladesh and Lao PDR in Asia and Honduras in Latin America, the case studies highlighted in this booklet represent a range of different country contexts. The studies show how the European Union is supporting partner countries and how resources are being transformed into results. They demonstrate measurable improvements in the lives of women and children, whether in terms of breastfeeding, dietary quality, household resilience, food security or stunting reduction.
