About Us
The Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Project (FANTA) supports integrated food security and nutrition programming to improve the health and well being of women and children. The ten-year project is managed by the Academy for Educational Development and funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
The project helps to integrate nutrition into the strategic planning process; provides analyses for food security and nutrition policy development; and shares information and knowledge with partners. Technical assistance is provided to USAID missions, host governments, private voluntary organizations (PVOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to improve program design, monitoring and evaluation.
The Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Project works collaboratively with donors, development organizations and other partners to:
- increase investment in food security and nutrition;
- promote the integration of food security and nutrition with other interventions such as child survival and maternal nutrition;
- improve program quality and impact of USAID resources including Title II food aid, development and humanitarian assistance;
- assist private voluntary organizations (PVOs) in planning the transition from emergency to development programs;
- validate approaches through special studies and analyses
- review and analyze research findings for improving programming
- guide monitoring and evaluation efforts to improve reporting on performance and effectiveness and
- foster the exchange of knowledge and experience about food security and nutrition among partners and across sectors.
