Project description
The project aims to break barriers in the production and distribution of fortified food additives to provide commercial sustainable alternatives to malnourished BoP mothers and young children (< 1000 days). After an extensive validation period, the produce (a kind of nutritious paste) will be produced and rolled out in the pilot country Bangladesh. Once successful, there is ample scope for scaling in Nigeria, Indonesia and Kenya. Unilever, NGO and local private partners will deliver through product validation (South Africa), processing and local agricultural sourcing, distribution, awareness campaigns.
