answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>Tackling malnutrition is an important part of the Department for International Development’s work in Rwanda. It is delivered through nutrition-specific interventions in programmes on early childhood development and stunting. It is also integrated into broader interventions such as those on agriculture and social protection, for example through nutrition and child sensitive cash transfers and investment in fortified foods. A new research programme will generate evidence on what works to strengthen nutrition service delivery at scale. DFID’s support for nutrition in Rwanda over the last three years has reached 560,000 children under five (180,000 of whom are children under two) and 1.1 million women of reproductive age (of whom 680,000 are pregnant or lactating women).</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 21/10/2019 15:35:38 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
