CASCADE

The goal of CASCADE, in line with the DIETS programme grant framework, is: to improve food security and contribute to the reduction of malnutrition of at least 5 million women of reproductive age and children in Benin, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Mozambique. The consortium identified the following two strategic objectives, that represent the long-term outcomes of CASCADE, required to achieve the programme’s goal. 1) To increase access to and consumption of healthy diets among household members in the six programme countries, particularly women of reproductive age and children. 2) To increase resilience to price and climate change-related shocks and stresses of household members in the six programme countries, particularly women of reproductive age and children. The ToC encompasses five intermediate outcomes linked to the main groups of actors comprising food systems: 1) governments, 2) private service providers (PSPs), 3) community members, advocates and public service providers, 4) women of reproductive age and children, and 5) the synergies between these actors.
