How to do note: Mainstreaming NUS in national policy for nutrition outcomes

This How to Do Note is part of a series of five Notes that accompany the NUS Operational Framework. The How to Do Notes offer recommendations on practical methods, approaches, and tools for use-enhancement of NUS in both design and implementation of IFAD-funded projects to support more nutrition-sensitive agriculture. The Notes present approaches and project designs especially targeting Indigenous Peoples, who are the primary custodians of NUS and who can benefit strongly from their promotion for leveraging their multiple benefits for nutrition, climate resilience and income generation. Specific consideration is made for approaches that can support empowerment of women, and youth through the use-enhancement of NUS.
