National Food and Nutrition Policy
Food and nutrition have become a foundational issue of Rwanda’s plans for economic development and poverty reduction. The National Food and Nutrition Policy (NFNP) recommends actions needed to sustain this position and innovative multi-sector and sector-specific strategies that will help assure that in Rwanda food and nutritional improvement becomes and remains everyone’s commitment. The policy recognizes and focuses on the national resolve to substantially reduce the prevalence of stunting among children under two (2) years of age, and to improve household food security particularly among the most vulnerable families.
