The United States Agency for International Development in Tanzania (USAID/Tanzania) is seeking applications for its grant programme entitled, “Tanzania Improved Nutrition for Better Life” to intensify and integrate nutrition support to targeted regions to improve the nutritional status of women of reproductive age, especially pregnant and lactating women, adolescents, and children under five years of age.

Undernutrition constrains social and economic development in Tanzania and contributes to child and maternal mortality, poor educational performance, intergenerational transfer of poverty and inequality, and low economic productivity of adults. The primary direct and indirect causes of maternal and child malnutrition in Tanzania are persistent food insecurity, poor maternal and child feeding practices, and suboptimal hygiene and sanitation.
