The United States Government, represented by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Rwanda, seeks to address the serious problem of chronic malnutrition in Rwanda, USAID/Rwanda is exploring the development of a new nutrition/water, sanitation, and hygiene integrated activity. This new activity may focus on traditional nutrition-specific interventions (e.g., exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months, complementary feeding among children 6 to 24 months, and micronutrient supplementation for pregnant and lactating women) and social and behavior change nutrition and WASH messaging. It is proposed that the activity may work within the Government of Rwanda's Community-Based Nutrition Program and its Community-Based Environmental Health Promotion Program. Additionally, it may work with district governments on implementing their District Plans for the Elimination of Malnutrition. THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
