Agricultural livelihoods affect nutrition of individual household members through multiple pathways and interactions. This ultimately raises the question - how might these different routes translate into activity implementation? Two Feed the Future activities, the Integrated Improved Livelihoods Program (IILP) and The Rwanda Dairy Competitiveness Program II (RDCP), provide an opportunity to examine alternative approaches to reach the ultimate goal of improving livelihoods and nutritional status.

All are invited to join a webinar on Thursday, April 30, 2015, from 9:00- 10:30 EDT to unpack how two agricultural livelihoods and food systems investments strive to improve household nutrition. The webinar will cover highlights from the recent study  completed by the Strengthening Partnerships, Results, and Innovation in Nutrition Globally (SPRING) project, documenting IILP's and RDCPII's different approaches to considering and integrating nutrition into their activities. In addition, both implementing partners will share some of the key challenges and successes in their work. Lastly, the USAID Rwanda Mission will reflect on lessons learned in the first phase of Feed the Future implementation.
