N4D: TRANSFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO ACTION FOR NUTRITION & DEVELOPMENT

COUNTRIES

N4D provides both long-term and short-term support to countries, based on country needs and requests from national governments, civil society and international partners. We aim to be flexible and responsive to shifting realities at country level and to ensure that our work is fully aligned with country priorities and global evidence.

Long-term support

N4D currently plays a catalytic, technical support role to three focal countries – Ethiopia, Niger and Yemen. This work is primarily focused on advancing a humanitarian, development and peace-building (HDP) Nexus agenda for nutrition, through strengthening country capabilities in implementation, learning and advocacy.

Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, support from N4D has been requested for operationalising the HDP Nexus approach to nutrition in crisis-vulnerable regions, within localities that are served by the country’s flagship multisectoral nutrition programme.
