Nearly half of all deaths in children under five are attributable to undernutrition. Three million lives are lost each year to it (UNICEF 2016). Undernutrition not only increases the frequency and severity of common infections and the risk of dying from them, but it also has long-term consequences on growth and development and is associated with impaired cognitive ability, reduced school and work performance, and increased risk of noncommunicable diseases later in life. In response, in the Global Nutrition Coordination Plan 2016–2021, the US Government (USG) committed to “improving nutrition throughout the world in order to enhance health, productivity, and human potential” through a coordinated multi-agency response (USAID 2016). The Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Strategy 2014–2025 of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) recognized the need for increasing the equitable provision and utilization of high-quality nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions.
