Transform Nutrition West Africa is a regional platform to enable 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. We work across the region but our focal countries are: Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal. The project has 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.
