Description
This RFA describes what will be the main
nutrition program funded by USAID/Tanzania between 2011-2016
and will directly support the objectives and implementation of the GOT�s NNS,
as well as the nutrition component of the CAADP/TAFSIP. The program will
emphasize strengthening the capacity of Tanzanian systems at all levels and
across sectors to provide critical nutrition services and education. It will
also embrace an implementation research approach and a robust learning-by-doing
agenda that will contribute to the future scaling up of nutrition programs and
services across the entire country. The overall goal of the program is to
improve the nutritional status of children and pregnant and lactating women in
Tanzania. The program�s objectives are: - To reduce the prevalence of low
height for age (stunting) among children under-five years of age by 20% over
the next 5 years in target regions. - To reduce maternal anemia (as measured by
blood haemoglobin concentration) by 20% over the next
5 years in target regions.
