Published purpose
This project (Maziko) aims to benefit more than 236,000 women, with a focus on pregnant and lactating women and girls and boys in two districts where stunting and malnutrition are widespread. Addressing under-five child stunting head-on, the project takes an integrated approach to preventing and treating malnutrition by addressing behaviour change in the areas of feeding practices, agricultural production, water, sanitation and hygiene. The project also focuses on providing access to programs at the district and community level. The Maziko Project uses a model of behaviour change that has been proven to reach large numbers of households while strengthening community-based referral to health services.
