The Aliko Dangote Foundation Integrated Nutrition (ADFIN) Program

Project Details

The Aliko Dangote Foundation Integrated Nutrition (ADFIN) Program – to tackle the scourge of hunger and malnutrition, which is known to contribute to increased susceptibility to diseases and higher death rates. These has led to reduction in cognitive ability for many children which has hampered their ability to fulfil their God given potential and contribute positively to the society.

Objectives

  • Treat at least 1,000,000 children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) using a Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) approach by 2025
  • Reach at least 1,000,000 vulnerable households from communities that contribute the most to the SAM burden with increased self-reliance through cash interventions and livelihoods support by 2025
  • Reach at least 1,000,000 vulnerable households from communities that contribute the most to the SAM burden with engendered optimal nutrition, hygiene and care-seeking behaviours by 2025

The Goal

The goal of ADFIN program is to reduce the prevalence of undernutrition by 60% by 2025 by breaking the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition through a combination of proven nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions.
