Angola: Children, Food Security and Malnutrition in Angola

This project incorporates an integrated national response and in three key high risk provinces. Various actors under government coordination will jointly plan, implement and monitor interventions in high risk provinces, to ensure effective convergence of benefits for the most vulnerable, and build models for expansion in the rest of the country.

The main outcome of this joint programme is to improve the health, nutritional and education status of poor and vulnerable groups by 2010 (UNDAF outcome). These activities to strengthen policies and demonstrate successful pilot projects will provide a direct sustainable impact on national progress towards MDG 1, 4 and 5, and thus leverage government funds to expand their reach and make them sustainable. This project is innovative, as it brings together different actors with complementary knowledge and capacities, and capitalizes on the current politico-economic situation in Angola to leverage government funding to make the project sustainable.
