1\. Project Background

The Scaling Up Nutrition Program is a cross-ministry and multi-donor program
to reduce stunting in Zambia through implementation of the Government of the
Republic of Zambia (GRZ) 1,000 Most Critical Days Program.

SUN TA provides support and direct technical assistance to sub-national local
government departments in target districts to plan, implement, coordinate, and
monitor integrated nutrition-sensitive and nutrition-specific activities to
reduce the rate of stunting among Zambian children under two and improve the
nutritional status of pregnant and lactating mothers. USAID has identified two
main objectives that address stunting, including (1) Adequate Quantity and
Quality of Dietary Intake among Target Groups; and (2) Adequate Health
Conditions for Biological Utilization of Nutrients. SUN TA interventions
increase access and availability of safe, diverse, nutritious food; adoption
of better child feeding and household hygiene practices; and access to
improved health, water and sanitation services. The project prioritizes
sustainability by improving intra-household joint decision making and building
the capacity of local government and their stakeholders to ensure
coordination, accountability, and learning, following the Scaling Up Nutrition
model.
