About
Overview:The Joint Programme “Reducing malnutrition in children in Albania” aimed to implement multi-sectoral interventions in high risk rural and peri-urban communities, while strengthening the national policy development, through partnerships and systematic capacity building of health sector and food & agriculture experts in issues related to nutrition and household food security. The JP supports the priorities of the Government of Albania in the areas of health, agriculture, education, social protection and social inclusion. All key results contribute to national priorities reflected in the National Strategy for Development and Integration (NSDI) through three outcomes, mainly, by strengthening national capacities in order to incorporate nutritional objectives into sectoral policies and programmes; by strengthening national delivery of nutrition services to the public and through the development, testing and implementation of cross sectoral nutrition interventions in the target areas. The programme is aligned with Albania’s development objectives, its government’s priorities and strategies as well as the overall goals of the UN as articulated in the UNDAF. Some key results included increased national stakeholder capacity by supporting in-depth research on Nutrition and Food Security including first time data on causes of anaemia and food security in especially vulnerable regions. This data was used to advocate for increased resources and led to the development of the new Food and Nutrition Action Plan (FNAP2013-2020), which contributed to strengthening focus on food security and social inclusion in the National Strategy for Agriculture and Rural Development (2014-2020). Capacity building took place at all levels and ultimately led to a more participatory approach from national, regional, district authorities and local governments, which in turn led to the development of community based plans to improve food and nutrition security. The programme also contributed to the PHC reform and improved quality of Government service delivery through capacity building in the health sector, and contributed to the education sector reform through the development of resource materials such as specific modules on nutrition education for teachers and students in compulsory education.

In addition, PHN module was integrated in the third year curricula of the education program for Medical Doctors.
