You’re invited to a virtual event hosted by MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership, in collaboration with USAID Advancing Nutrition
| Throughout the life cycle, women have unique nutritional needs, particularly during adolescence, pregnancy, and lactation. Improving women’s nutrition during these periods has multiple benefits for maternal health and wellbeing, newborn and young child survival, health and nutrition, all producing positive effects on the next generations.
Maternal nutrition can be improved through multiple pathways, all of which require the application of quality social and behavior change (SBC) techniques to enhance the usefulness of antenatal and postnatal maternal counseling on consuming a healthy diet; improve family and community dialogue and decision-making around food and nutrition; create greater demand for healthy diets for women and their families, including adolescents; increase women’s access to resources; expand gender equality and ensure empowerment of women and adolescent girls; and build women’s leadership in local food, health, and agriculture systems. Please join us for this virtual event on September 14th to learn about and discuss new USAID resources on SBC and maternal diets through USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership and USAID Advancing Nutrition. Presenters will share these new resources with implementers and foster discussions on how they can be used to improve maternal nutrition. Featured Speakers
