The project has continued to generate high interest among adolescents and remains a flagship project on promoting adolescent nutrition in Malawi. The following key accomplishments have been achieved in the period under review, as confirmed through the external consumption survey: 1. 73 percent of adolescents are reporting increased consumption of nutritious foods that have been promoted by the project (above the target of 50 percent). The project has also promoted utilization patterns for various nutritious foods. 2. 45 percent of adolescents are reporting year-round production of nutrition crops in their homestead gardens (on track based on target of 50 percent). This has greatly improved access to nutritious foods among households. 3. 77 percent of adolescents are involved in Village Savings and Loans and livelihood activities (above target of 50 percent), which is also supporting households to sustain production on nutritious crops. Other livelihood activities pursued such as production of sanitary pads are further assisting adolescent girls in terms of school attendance, besides income generation to the households. In moving forward, the project will focus more on capturing and consolidating results achieved as well as lessons learning while ensuring sustainability. An external mid term review is planned for November/December 2020.
