Zambia—Scaling Up Nutrition Technical Assistance (Zambia SUN TA)

The project engaged thousands of women in maternal and child health education and worked with farmers across 13 districts to help them adopt climate-resilient farming practices to produce diverse, nutritious foods that are crucial to reducing stunting.
