In response to high acute malnutrition rates, ACF has operated in the district of Kita since 2007 and has put in place an innovative multisectoral strategy to fight malnutrition by combining security, education, health and water and sanitation programmes.
Within these programmes, the “Health Gardens approach” developed by ACF provided mothers with necessary basic knowledge to improve the nutritional situation of their families through nutritional education and the improvement of food consumption diversity.
