Health and Nutrition

Health and nutrition programs are a keystone of ACDI/VOCA’s mission-driven work to enhance knowledge, opportunities and choices. There is broad consensus that reducing global poverty and hunger requires accelerating growth in the agriculture sector.

At ACDI/VOCA, we believe that the health and nutrition of individuals and families is crucial to ensuring food security, creating sustainable livelihoods and empowering people to seize opportunities for better lives.
