Title II Development Food Security Activity (DFSA), TRAIN PSNP 4

FFP is funding a USAID Implementing Partner to reach 221,893 people in Amhara region with a comprehensive social and behavior change communications strategy.

This strategy aims to facilitate changes at the household, community, and local government levels, as well as to support community asset creation to improve household resilience and reduce risks of food insecurity.

The Implementing Partner is focusing on improving food security by addressing nutrition-sensitive factors, climate change and climate variability, government and community capacity deficits, and inequitable gender norms.

To do so, the Implementing Partner is promoting the adoption of appropriate health, nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene practices using care groups that promote positive gender and health norms; and the Implementing Partner is increasing incomes by diversifying livelihoods, particularly targeting women and youth, and increasing high value crop production by supplying high quality seeds and by providing livestock feed to female-headed households and other vulnerable groups.
