Africa's Health in 2010 (2005-2010)

Project Website: http://africahealth2010.aed.org

AED supports USAID's Africa Bureau in contributing to policy change related to health and nutrition in Africa and in strengthening African institutions. The nutrition team works with US government, international agencies, and African institutions to improve programs addressing nutritional problems. Priority activities include working with African partners to integrate and strengthen the delivery of Essential Nutrition Actions (ENA) into maternal, newborn, and child health programs; to promote safe feeding practices for HIV-exposed children; and to address the nutritional needs of adults and children living with HIV/AIDS. The project also conducts research and analysis on areas of emerging interest, such as nutrition and tuberculosis.
