Transform Nutrition West Africa regional platform enabled effective policy and programmatic action on nutrition, funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation from 2017-2021 and led by the International Food Policy Research Institute. Working across the region but our focal countries are: Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal. The project worked to put stakeholders and knowledge generation at the heart of decisions about policies and programs for maternal, infant, and young child nutrition. The platform’s achievements should inspire nutrition professionals and organizations to continue investing in the mobilization of knowledge for decision-making.

Within the project, we produced high-quality evidence notes that aim to inform policy and program decision-making. The topics are based on partner priorities and on current challenges and evidence gaps in the region. A rapid review methodology was used to synthesize the evidence.
