Improving Food Security and Nutrition (IFSAN) of Women and Children in Rural Lalitpur

Rural Institution for Community Development (RICOD) has been implementing the "Improving Food Security and Nutrition (IFSAN) of Women and Children in Rural Lalitpur. The project aims to improve the food security and nutrition situation of reproductive-age women and under-5 children and also influence the wider community in the project areas to sustain the acquired knowledge and practice. The project will directly reach 4,041 unique participants in five wards of Bagmati Rural Municipality (Ghusel, Malta, Bhattedanda, Pyutar, and Ikudol) and one ward of Godawari municipality (Devichour) which lies in the southwest part of Lalitpur district. These areas are targeted because the communities in these sites have poor health systems and nutrition and availability/accessibility of foods issues. These areas also lack scheduled transportation services and RICOD had not previously covered these sites with its projects.
