COVID Adaptations in the Management of Child Wasting

The COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented challenges to nutrition and health service continuity across the globe, placing millions more children at risk of wasting and death. To manage risks and continue to provide life-saving treatment, governments and organizations have adopted and scaled up a range of adaptations to community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programs. This webinar will present preliminary findings from Action Against Hunger USA's ongoing project to document, map, and analyze these adaptations. A panel of nutrition stakeholders will share their experiences in managing these adaptations at multiple levels. Finally, the floor will be opened to participants to ask

Women’s Empowerment in Beyond-Production Activities

Women engage in a variety of agricultural roles across the value chain. Many approaches, promising practices, and tools to support women’s empowerment in production have emerged in recent years. However, much less is known about women’s engagement, benefit, and empowerment in beyond-production activities such as input and service provision, marketing, agro-processing, and retail. In this webinar, Agrilinks and the Feed the Future Advancing Women’s Empowerment (AWE) Program will share findings from a landscape analysis conducted by the Feed the Future Advancing Women’s Empowerment (AWE) program that examines women’s empowerment in beyond-production activities. First, they will explore common approaches to empowering

Cracking the Nut 2021

This 4 half-day learning event will highlight how systems can be designed, adapted, and reinforced to ensure regular access to food, water, and energy for rural populations in developing countries, and how public and private sector initiatives can work at the nexus of food, water, and energy to stimulate rural and agricultural development. This topic is particularly important given the negative impacts of the COVID pandemic and climate change in countries with growing populations and food insecurity. By focusing on how to make systems more resilient, this event will convene leading experts in rural development, sustainable agriculture, water sanitation, clean

Systems Thinking + Climate Change Adaptation = Improved Water Security

With the need for basic water services on the rise in lower-income countries, how can a systems approach ensure water and sanitation interventions are resilient to the impacts of external factors like COVID-19 and climate change? This event will explore mainstreaming adaptation into water programs through a deeper understanding of the dynamic relationships of all stakeholders — those who control water and sanitation resources, those who influence that control, and those who use the resources.
